The ROOTS & ROUTES Peer Coach Academy 2.0

In the Peer Coach Academy 2.0 project, as part of the international ROOTS & ROUTES network, we are developing a format in which young artists are given the maximum level of expertise for the further training of their peers in our projects and those of our international partner organizations. To this end, participants go through self-selected individual modules in order to expand their collective growth and their European and international self-image in a future-oriented way.
