The international cultural sector is growing and in these rapidly changing times plays a unique and vital socio-economic role in all our futures. The British Council is embarking on a seven year programme in response to the urgent need for future cultural leaders to develop and nurture the necessary skills to drive the cultural sector forward.
Cultural Leadership International (CLI) will help to develop a new generation of cultural leaders. It will create a large network of next generation leaders who will utilise the skills and experience gained in the programme to drive an open, tolerant and integrated society.
CLI will build and support partnerships and collaborations using UK cultural leadership expertise. It will generate opportunities for the exchange of knowledge, experiences and ideas, and create opportunities for people to fulfil their potential and realise their aspirations.
Watch this video on youtube to found out more about the project, and hear the participants talk about their experiences at the London workshop.
In its first year CLI will undergo an international research and development phase. We will work with partners across Europe, North America, the Middle East and North Africa on a leadership development programme for a group of selected participants.
The programme will offer a varied and tailored programme of activities, for example:
- work-based placements
- networking opportunities
- coaching and mentoring
- creative collaborations and experiential learning
CLI activity will start in spring 2009.
