About the Program

Forecast Mentorships foster transdisciplinary collaboration by pairing innovative individuals with mentors renowned in their fields. Applicants are encouraged to submit ideas that showcase originality, clarity, and a well-defined vision. Each mentorship is an opportunity for tailored guidance, professional growth, and deep creative exchanges, rather than a grant-focused initiative.

The program consists of two phases:

- Phase 1: Selected nominees participate in workshops and presentations at the Forecast Forum in Berlin.
- Phase 2: Mentees selected from the Forum engage in one-on-one mentorships, culminating in public showcases at the Forecast Festival in Berlin.

How to Apply

Applications must be submitted online and include:

- A clear project description
- Expectations from the mentorship
- Format and content outline for participation in the Forecast Forum and Festival
- Overview of key production materials and steps

Important Information

Travel and Accommodation: Covered for the Forum, work-stay, and Festival.
Funding: Artist fees and production budgets provided at each phase.
