Deadline: March 6, 2024.

The Chevening Clore Leadership Fellowship is a partnership between the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and Clore Leadership, offering mid-career professionals in the arts and culture sector an exceptional opportunity to undertake an individually tailored leadership programme in the UK. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office funds up to five international fellows to become part of a cohort of approximately 20 fellows, from across the UK and internationally, on the Clore Leadership Fellowship Programme. The programme has been shaping exceptional cultural leaders for the last 16 years.

The fellowship will run from September 2024 – May 2025 with a loose framework designed to boost the development of exceptional cultural leaders at a pivotal point in their career. It is adaptive and self-guided, so you’ll need to be highly motivated and deeply curious.

PROGRAM DETAILS

As a part of Chevening Clore Leadership Fellowship, each international fellow will undertake an individually tailored programme based in the UK which will include:

1. Two residential leadership courses in September 2024 and May 2025
2. Three day-long non-residential skills-based workshops
3. A one-day ‘Online Climate Assembly’
4. A 360° leadership profile
5. A secondment in a UK based cultural organisation, (normally in an organisation or field very different to your usual workplace or practice) where you’ll be working on a ‘live’ project set by your host organisation
6. Bespoke learning opportunities through conferences, courses and study visits and peer/sector networking.
7. Focused support from a mentor or coach.
8. Thought leadership exploration through a written provocation paper.
9. The Fellowship starts in September 2024, with fellows travelling from their home country to the UK to undertake the 1st fellowship residential in September 2024 and then will return to their home country in early October 2024.
