What is the Future Leaders programme? When, where and how to apply. Finding potential Future Leaders. Join our delivery team for 2018/19.

1. WHAT IS THE FUTURE LEADERS PROGRAMME?
Future Leaders is an innovative international training programme within the Carnival Arts sector, providing access to professional practice, skills and knowledge within music, dance and visual arts for youngartists aged 12-25. The course is free (funded by Arts Council England, the National Foundation for Youth Music and OMBC), with only a small contribution encouraged from each Future Leader, raised through personal sponsorship and entrepreneurial spirit.

During the programme, young artists will:

• Enjoy exciting residential training with like-minded artists and industry specialists.
• Make new friends, gain confidence, and enjoy exploring their art form with others.
• Meet guest speakers and specialists who will share their stories and advice.
• Work with an inspirational arts mentor to identify and achieve their goals.
• Get connected to a growing international network of driven young artists.

Previous participants benefitted greatly from an outstanding array of tutors, workshops, presentations and discussions in a motivating and inspirational format, involving a strong curriculum covering an essential range of genres and approaches to the subject. We believe that investing in the next generation of young artists is crucial to ensuring a happy and healthy arts culture, both locally and globally.
