Local Workshops

The local workshops are an intensive 1-week insight into the EURODOC program. A first step into international coproduction.

In parallel with every session of the Annual Program, in the same premices, EURODOC organizes a 5-day-long workshop which welcomes a group of 10-12 producers based in the country hosting the training. Depending on the context, the group may also welcome producers from neighboring regions (Benelux, Mediterranean Islands, etc.). These shorter workshops offer an intensive insight into the Annual Program and share the same teaching methods. Several masterclasses and case studies are open the groupe, and get-together moments are planned everyday to mix the Annual Program cohort and the Local Workshop cohort.
