The focus will be on cultural and contemporary dancers, dance groups, choreographers and dance associations. They will be selected by responding to the call for participants and submitting their expression of interest in all 10 provinces of Zimbabwe.

The Performing Arts Business and Digital Distribution project is funded by the Sound Connects Fund, an initiative by the Music In Africa Foundation (MIAF) and Goethe-Institut.

The capacity-building workshop will also target virtual/online audiences since it will be broadcast live on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Zoom meetings.

All the online and Face-to-Face (physical) participants will be awarded certificates after completing the training. The certificates will only be awarded to participants who will complete all five modules/topics online/face-to-face.
