The Global Cultural Leadership Programme (GCLP) is a learning programme designed to develop and reinforce knowledge, competences and professional networks of cultural practitioners who are emerging on the international scene. Through its framework, content and methodology, which strongly builds on peer-to-peer learning, reflection and collaborative network building, the GCLP enables young leading managers of cultural organisations to gain fresh insights and develop new approaches to international cultural collaboration practices. The programme offers a set of applied learning modules, tools and manuals for practice-based learning, giving the participants opportunities to build meaningful collaborations at the global level and within the EU.
In line with the main objective of the Cultural Diplomacy Platform – i.e. support the sustainable development of cultural diplomacy policies, activities, methodologies, tools and training programmes at EU level –, the objective of the Global Cultural Leadership Programme (GCLP) is to strengthen communities/networks of emerging cultural leaders and practitioners, and to engage participants in an experience of international networking through a lean, practice-based learning framework that allows them to immediately transfer newly acquired knowledge and contacts into international and local working contexts. In terms of expected outcomes, participants will be empowered with new tools and competences that will strengthen their own insight into their working practices and the organisations they manage, and offer them means to engage more efficiently in international cultural cooperation. It is anticipated that this process will generate a multiplier effect, initially within their community of practice and subsequently into their local community. The training programme will instantly enable 40 emerging cultural practitioners (30 from ten strategic partner countries of the EU2 + ten EU-based peers) to train and develop, based on a peer-to-peer learning experience, new skills for acting/collaborating in a global cultural working context.
Participatory group reflections, educational workshops, expert talks and peer discussions will explore a variety of current challenges and opportunities, and provide knowledge and working approaches into:
