In this year's online workshop series ONpaper, which we are organising together with ON Cologne, Musikbüromuc and Verband für aktuelle Musik Hamburg, experts will teach basic skills for working in the independent music scene.
The autumn program includes introductions to public project funding in Germany, workshops on grant writing, preparing financial plans, and managing funds, as well as sessions on self-marketing, foundation fundraising, and new outreach formats for contemporary music.
Most workshops are held in both German and English.
