Funding

Three sector lead organisations, Arts Council England, Creative & Cultural Skills and the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council have formed the Cultural Leadership Delivery Partnership, a unique cross-sector collaboration to support the Programme.  The partnership draws on existing resources, shared expertise, and ensures that the programme provides value for money and maximum impact.

The programme is being delivered through a six-strand approach and targets emerging leaders, people mid-way in their careers, governing bodies of cultural organisations and cultural entrepreneurs. Opportunities are open to people throughout the UK working in the core cultural sector of crafts; libraries and archives; museums and galleries; music; and the performing, literary and visual arts – as well as those working in the wider creative and cultural industries.

1. Work based Opportunities: supporting networks, placements, coaching & mentoring and other approaches to learning in the workplace.

2. Creative Knowledge Lab:  : the development of a unique learning resource through a dedicated online service and web portal.

3. Intensive Leadership Development: formal learning opportunities to gain key knowledge and skills for leadership.

4. Powerbrokers: black and minority ethnic development priorities to drive forward the change needed to diversify the leadership of the cultural and creative industries.

5. Governance development: to establish and promote best practice for governance bodies within cultural organisations, embedding an understanding of the need for leadership in governance.

6. Developing entrepreneurs as leaders: defining leadership learning needs and creating appropriate opportunities.
