One of the most important things is building a visible network that you as participants can more easily access and rely on.

Why do we do this?

One goal of the Writer's Camp is to contribute to making the music world more gender-balanced. By supporting women and gender-nonconforming emerging artists in multiple aspects of the music world and forging new partnerships, they are building a network within the industry that is normally less accessible to them. By exchanging knowledge you learn from each other and step outside your comfort zone.
