Professionals working in the field of project development: script writers, script developers, script editors, advisers, mentors, trainers, producers, directors, and commissioning editors.

SOURCES are one of the first European training programmes on screenwriting that have been established within the MEDIA Programme of the European Community.  Since 1992 SOURCES realised 60 workshops in 18 European countries, 75 films developed through SOURCES have been made.  SOURCES 2 offers intensive training and script development for screenwriters and writer/ producer/ director teams by organising several activities throughout Europe.

SOURCES 2 Projects & Process include a three-day workshop session, a three-month coaching process by e-mail and a round off after three months.  During the three-day session participants work in small groups of three or four, each guided by a SOURCES 2 adviser, and also general sessions on three evenings with lectures, analysis and keynote discussions.

The format aims at making the SOURCES 2 methodology transparent to professionals and enhancing the skills of practicing scriptwriters, developers and trainers working as mentors for screenwriters in the field of script and story development.  It is a balance between principles and practice:  The wok of SOURCES 2 is predicated on the principle of advising or mentoring, rather than instructing professional writers or producers to develop "correct" script for production.

SOURCES 2 scripts advisers lead collaborative groups of professionals through a process of script development for production.  Therefore, it is this process that is transferable.  The workshop will articulate a process that works step-by-step objectively and logically, without directly influencing the individual adviser's chosen mode of presentation.  This is the SOURCES 2 philosophy - a common core of values that forms a rich diversity of approaches to a shared goal.

The main benefits for the participation of SOURCES 2 Projects & Process are the considerable enhancement of their mentoring skills and professional "tool box" as well as the establishment of contacts within an active European network of cooperation and exchange.
