Since 2006, several additional formats have been developed:
- Summer Courses / Summer Schools
Longer workshops of 2 to 3 weeks with a stronger focus on further education and professionalisation of young artists, in the three competency fields of artistry, entrepreneurship and coaching; including masterclasses and public performances
- Transdisciplinary Artistic Residencies
Artistic residencies of 10 to 20 days, mostly with internationally composed group of participants and transdisciplinary approaches, leading to public performances; besides single residencies, the ROOTS & ROUTES network has also done series of residencies with a recurring core of young artists and additional young artists stepping in and out on the way
- Peer Coach Academies
The ROOTS & ROUTES Peer Coach Academy offers a full curriculum for aspiring junior coaches, with a workload of 168 hours (6 * 28 hours = 6 ECTS), containing a minimum of 60 contact hours (course phases) and minimum of 60 fieldwork hours (including preparation time); additional modules include practical Testing Zones, Further Training Seminars and reflection meetings / Comeback Days
- Step1s
Close to the original ROOTS & ROUTES concept, Step1 projects are short workshop phases of mostly 3 to 7 days, with several artistic disciplines mostly including music and dance; aspiring young artists are coached by ROOTS & ROUTES Peer Coaches (to whom the Step1 project can be a Testing Zone within their education of becoming a Junior Coach) and by professional artists, together they work towards a common public performance
