Following on from the success of the first Leading Learning Programme, The National Culture Forum is running a second high quality leadership programme between September 2009
and July 2010.
Programme participants can gain accreditation towards an MA in Cultural Leadership from City University.
An innovative cultural leadership programme tailored to local government concerns. It has five main support elements -
Initial 360 degree assessment of your leadership strengths and potential.
5 days in all of residential sessions to allow you to meet inspiring exemplars, reflect on your own practice and challenge your knowledge and skills (3 days mid October, 24 hours in early March, 24 hours late June or mid July).
Monthly one to one mentoring sessions with a well matched senior figure with extensive local government experience and expertise.
Five bi-monthly facilitated action learning sets organised for North, South, East & West.
An interactive website with further reading, participants’ forums and development opportunities.
The programme is for Local Government Heads of Service with Culture and Leisure Services within their remit and Senior Managers of Culture and Sport Services across the UK. There are up to 30 places for the second programme. We expect to run at least one more programme in 2010/11, but without subsidy.
The full cost of the programme is £3500. We expect there to be a number of bursaries for £1000 which will reduce the cost to £2500 for nominated applicants.
*Deadline extension until 31 July 2009
