Cultural Leadership International 2010

CLI is a scheme developed by the British Council with support from the Cultural Leadership Programme (CLP), which seeks to identify the next generation of international cultural leaders and helps them to develop their skills and talent at an international level. CLP is supporting these events as part of its investment in the development of international cultural leadership skills.

CLI believes that the cultural sector has a unique and vital socio-economic role to play in rapidly-changing and unstable times, and 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. CLI has been running since 2009, and to date over 60 international cultural leaders have taken part, each engaging in an individual development plan that is designed specifically for their needs, and that includes international training, work-based placements, networking opportunities, creative collaborations and mentoring schemes.

CLP has sought to embed international practice in its programmes to ensure that current and future leaders are well equipped to nurture the vision, aptitude and skills to deliver excellence, experimentation and innovation within the wider national and international context.
