In Slovenia, prior to the start of the ECLN Network meetings, Mary Jordan, founder of Kau Academy in Estonia, ran a ‘Pitch yourself’ workshop for local artists, some of whom we met during our stay in Maribor. The feedback was extremely positive and to quote the words of Maja Malus Azhdari, Director of Mkc Maribor: “we are really glad you come and created with us – Maribor is the future!”
