The Chevening Clore Leadership Fellowship is a specially designed leadership development program that aims to improve and enhance cultural engagement and practice by fostering a leader’s potential, knowledge, and abilities.

Some of the most innovative and vibrant cultural leaders from the UK and around the world come together for the Chevening Clore Leadership Fellowship for an intense personal and professional learning experience unlike any other. The Clore Leadership Fellowship will assist you in realizing your potential as a leader by providing in-depth training that is adapted to your particular requirements, goals, and situation.

The fellowship runs in 2023, from September 2023 – March 2024 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.

Programme Structure

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

Two residential leadership courses in September 2023 and March 2024
Three day-long non-residential skills-based workshops
A two-day ‘Urban Intensive ’ team project
A 360° leadership profile
A four – six week 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
Bespoke learning opportunities through conferences, courses and study visits and peer/sector networking.
Focused support from a mentor or coach.
Thought leadership exploration through a written provocation paper.

The Fellowship starts in September 2023, with fellows travelling from their home country to the UK to undertake the 1st fellowship residential in September 2023 and then will return to their home country in early October.

Fellows will then return to the UK in January 2024 to undertake the majority of the fellows’ individual training and development programmes. This will includes workshops, individual secondments, mentoring, attendance at courses and conferences, and the 2nd Fellowship residential course in March, which completes the programme.
