British Council Mexico's Creative Leadership Programme aims to support the development of cultural and creative leaders by building professional skills and approaches to governance.
The British Council invites proposals from UK suppliers to curate, coordinate and produce a one-week residency programme focused on cultural governance and leadership which must be designed from November 2022 to February 2023. Through this initiative, 10 Mexican creative leaders will be supported to develop new governance proposals, whilst engaging in and being inspired by a series of talks, workshops and discussions exploring approaches to cultural leadership and governance. The participating 10 Mexican cultural leaders will be recruited through an open call run by British Council Mexico, and this one-week residency programme will run from late February to mid-March 2023. The core objectives are to support the selected Mexican leaders to:
- Improve their understanding of the principles of effective governance within creative and cultural organisations.
- Apply principles or/and models of cultural governance to their own projects or organisations, improving the resilience and sustainability of the institutions they lead.
- Identify and strengthen their cultural leadership skills.
- Access a global network consisting of UK and MX creative and cultural pract.
