Communities as a Tool for Change @Meeting Point Vilnius 

Professional communities and associations are a big support and help mechanism for people working in film and TV industries. Especially if they  have just started or decided to change their career paths.

Professional mentorship or residency programs are targeted to support structures that seek to encourage, motivate and involve talents of various fields as well as help them grow.
