‘The impetus that the Fellowship has given me, both professionally and on a personal level is incredible. This time for recharging, reflecting and learning has brought first and foremost a total change of perspective. The discovery that “knowing thyself” is not a selfish enterprise, nor a sign of a big ego, but that it is what it takes to get to the next stage in life and at work. This has been an immensely useful unexpected outcome. What an amazing journey it has been!’
2010/11 Clore Fellow

The Clore Leadership Programme is currently inviting applications for the Paul Hamlyn Foundation Fellowship in Arts Participation and Engagement.

The purpose of this Fellowship is to develop a leader who is strongly committed to increasing access to, and enjoyment of, the arts.

Candidates for the Paul Hamlyn Foundation Fellowship should demonstrate a commitment to, and experience of, encouraging people to be actively and practically involved in the arts, as a maker and/or participant. Relevant experience could include, for example, leading an organisation focused on engagement and participation, holding a senior role in the learning department of a cultural institution, or extensive freelance work as a specialist in this area.

The Fellowship Programme aims to shape emerging creative leaders from across the cultural sector through in-depth learning, tailored as far as possible to the needs, aspirations and circumstances of the individual Fellow.

The structure of the programme includes:

• residential courses
• an extended placement for a period of approximately 3 months
• individually-selected training, mentoring and coaching.
• Fellows can choose to take a period of six/seven months away from work and receive a bursary while undertaking their programme, or continue to be attached to their place of work, with their employer being compensated for the sustained periods when they're away.

The closing date for all applications is 12 noon, 24 February 2012. For further details on the Programme and to access the online application form, please visit www.cloreleadership.org
