The Chevening Clore leadership Fellowship is currently open for applications. The program is a partnership between the commonwealth and development office, Clore leadership and Uk Foreign. If you are a mid-career professional in the arts and culture sector, you might be interested in the Chevening Clore Leadership Fellowship.
This is a unique opportunity to join a cohort of about 20 fellows from the UK and around the world, who will participate in a tailored leadership programme in the UK. The programme is a collaboration between the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and Clore Leadership, a leading organization in developing cultural leaders.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office sponsors up to five international fellows each year to take part in this prestigious programme, which has been running for 16 years and has produced many outstanding leaders in the cultural sector.
The fellowship will run from September 2024 – May 2025 with a loose framework. It is designed to improve 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.
