Clore Fellowship Leadership Programme

The aim of the Clore Foundation is to help train and develop a new generation of leaders for the cultural sector in the UK .

Fellowships are offered annually over a wide range of cultural activity, including the arts, visual arts, community arts, museums and galleries, heritage and libraries. Applications are welcomed from any individual involved in, or seeking to become involved in, the cultural sector in the UK .

Applicants should normally have had a total of at least five years' work experience, either in employment, self-employment or freelance and be living in the EU.

Fellows undertake an individually tailored programme of activities. This programme usually lasts for a year and includes the following:

•A programme of professional development, including two residential leadership courses, intensive workshops and other learning opportunities.
•Mentoring and coaching.
•A three-month placement in an organisation very different from the Fellow's usual working environment.
•Working with a small group of Fellows on a special project, culminating in a half-day presentation.
•The production of an original article about an aspect of leadership which the Fellow has researched and which will be published to stimulate debate about leadership.
•The option of submitting a proposal for a three-month research project, supervised by a Higher Education Institute based in the UK , which the Fellow would undertake after finishing the core Fellowship programme.
Fellows can choose to take a period of six months away from work and receive a bursary of up to £15,000 while doing their programme, or continue to be attached to their place of work, with their employer being compensated for any sustained periods away.
