Rainmaker Aotearoa will harness the knowledge of a generation of exceptional individuals and through a co-designed approach, enable the transferring of this knowledge to the next generation of screen sector changemakers. This knowledge and experience is critical information that is not typically written down or taught at universities. Research shows that mentoring delivers highly effective learning and outcomes. The best mentors ‘raise all boats’, increasing the output and creativity of everyone around them.
We wish you all the best in this innovative mentorship programme!
