Say hello to our Leadership Programme cohort!

As part of CAN YOU HEAR US?, our six-week celebration of creativity and culture taking place across the Island this autumn, we are supporting 12 individuals through a fully funded Cultural Leadership Programme.

We are pleased to announce our cohort:

• Abby Wilkinson
• Beth Peckham
• Gemma Mallinson
• Gemma Torrington
• Georgina Harris
• Jenna Sabine
• Kate Young
• Laura Hathaway
• Marty Stevens
• Rachel Tait
• Sarah Kinsey
• Vicky Wilson

This cohort brings together a diverse range of perspectives from across the creative, heritage, environmental, social, and education sectors. It also includes those working in vital community spaces! The places where people gather, participate, and share what matters to them.

Over the coming months, these 12 individuals will engage in a structured journey of coaching, peer learning, and guest speaker sessions. The programme also includes self-directed opportunities such as mentoring and ‘Go See’ visits.

Our focus is not on traditional top-down management, but on a collaborative model of leadership. We are curious to explore how deeper reflection and cross-sector partnership can drive meaningful change within the Island’s cultural landscape.

We look forward to sharing more about the individual ambitions and insights of this cohort as the programme progresses. But for now? You can explore the events and book onto activities on our events tab :)
