European media talent and skills

Formerly known as the “Training scheme”, this scheme supports further training programmes for European audiovisual professionals in a vast range of areas: from producing and promoting high-quality works of any format and on any platform, to career development and mentoring schemes for emerging talent and programmes that focus on skills relevant to the digital and green transition.

Opportunities for Film Professionals

MEDIA supports a range of training programmes in production, company management, new technologies and scriptwriting. These courses allow audiovisual professionals from member states of the MEDIA Programme, including Georgia, to increase their competence and their competitiveness on the international market. All activities are conducted at industry level ranging from short-term (2-3 days) to long-term (up to 12 months), and take place across the whole of Europe.

Please note that scholarships can often be provided by the training organisations or by local/regional/national authorities.
