The workshop will also explore learning models and will offer a variety of approaches and practical advice. It is an informative how-to for anyone considering setting up a mentorship program, anyone who will be mentoring, or anyone who works in peer-based arts education. It is based on MAWA’s 38-year experience as a pioneer in the field of arts mentorship.
