The Cultural Landscape
Throughout Europe and across the world, the cultural sector is growing both in complexity and importance. The sector has a unique and vital socio-economic role to play in rapidly-changing and unstable times. It is crucial that its future leaders develop ideas, skills and networks to drive the sector forward and ensure its relevance to the changing societies around it.

This is why, as part of its creative and cultural economy agenda, the British Council has developped the Cultural Leadership International programme.

What is Cultural Leadership International ?

The programme focuses on supporting a new generation of cultural leaders to:

Understand the political, social, and economic power of culture, and develop the leadership tools which will enable them to influence their societies
Act internationally in their work through a global network of individuals and organisations beyond their usual sphere of operation.
Better understand the challenges affecting the cultural sector globally
Encourage flexibility of thought and action to adapt to new challenges,  understanding other contexts and experience.
Strengthen the influence and position of the cultural sector cross-sectorally and globally as a key social agent.

The aim is to strengten the positive influence of the cultural sector globally, and develop an active, international network of next generation leaders,  to tackle similar challenges, share solutions, and learn from successful models.

Through taking a cross-sectoral approach to leadership, the British Council aims to harness best practice from across different disciplines and to encourage the emergence of a new vision for the arts to tackle major social and cultural issues.

Our aim is to create ‘open space’ and to encourage the discussion of ideas that will inform policy debate in the arts as well as support individual cultural projects.

How will this achieved ?

The programme offers a flexible, cross-regional networking of opportunities, around 3 pillars :

Cross-regional leadership workshops for mid-career cultural practicioners to discuss issues and exchange ideas aound leadership and culture
Transformational Leadership : in-countries think tanks and seminars of innovators to reinforce the ability of cultural leaders to respond positively and imaginatively to social, economic, technical and environmental challenges
Individual development  mentoring and placements schemes.
