Since 2006 the Cultural Leadership Programme (CLP) has supported over 30 leadership networks offering tailor-made, work based support to leaders across the cultural and creative industries, with a new funding programme in place now with the deadline for proposals 12 Noon on Friday 29th April 2010.
The networks offered structured programmes of individual leadership development and involved a variety of learning approaches including coaching, mentoring, shadowing, placements, exchange, action learning sets and events as well as a range of peer-to-peer support. Networks connected within and across sectors and, in many cases, created new channels for effective and personalised leadership support and development.
CLP Networks 2010 builds on the evidence and outcomes from the earlier networks to create a focused offer for senior and established leaders. Participants can include leaders or chairs of businesses/organisations or individuals leading through professional or artistic practice. Networks will be supported for up to 9 months (June 2010 to March 2011) and should demonstrate how they will be made sustainable beyond that period. Up to 10 Networks will be supported, with a maximum of £50,000 to establish or consolidate each network.
The CLP targets emerging, mid-careers, senior and established leaders, governing bodies of cultural organisations and cultural entrepreneurs. Opportunities are open to those 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.
Completed proposals should be submitted to Ellie Short:
