The Chevening Clore Leadership Fellowship is a prestigious international program designed for mid-career professionals working in the arts and culture sector. Established as a partnership between the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office and the Clore Leadership Programme, this fellowship aims to develop exceptional leaders who can drive positive change in cultural institutions worldwide. The program offers a unique opportunity for professionals from eligible countries to enhance their leadership skills through intensive training, mentoring, and networking opportunities in the United Kingdom.

Successful fellows join an influential global network of cultural leaders and gain access to ongoing professional development opportunities.
