Emphasis is placed on the supervision and consultancy of existing projects developed by participants. ESoDoc also focuses on pitching skills, training participants to present their projects in international forums and markets. ESoDoc incorporates a range of didactic elements: lectures, case studies, group work sessions, one-to-one on-site and online tuition, practical master classes etc. LEARNING OUTCOMES Overview of new audiovisual market developments, and diverse production processes in traditional and new media; best practices and techniques for working with the non-profit sector: comprehension of alternative financing and distribution solutions; pitching skills.
