The British Council and King’s College London are pleased to announce a leadership programme for senior cultural leaders from Russia to be held 20-23 February 2018 in London.
This opportunity is part of the British Council’s Future Culture programme.
Programme
A bespoke version of King’s College London’s executive programme, “Leading Culture in the 21st Century” will offer access to the leadership of a range of London’s world-class cultural institutions, opportunities to meet and establish partnerships and a creative environment to develop new ideas, exchange best practice and explore new approaches to cultural leadership through a mix of meetings and discussions, networking events and exploratory visits, all thought through and curated by leading practitioners.
As a result the leadership programme participants will acquire a sharpened ability to:
- analyse complex leadership challenges in a systematic way and draw confidently on experience, informed intuition and reasoned argument to affirm contextualised responses
- synthesise theoretical concepts and relate these to industry approaches and models in a dynamic and compelling way
- evaluate critically and demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of a range of contemporary issues and challenges relevant to the development and delivery of cultural practice
- develop independently and refresh new perspectives on cultural policy, demonstrating thought-leadership, creative and strategic thinking, underpinned by a sound evidence base.
