Gaps in leadership in the South African cultural and creative landscape have become apparent as the sector struggles to adapt and respond to these uncertain times. The Cultural Producers Programme, is a British Council programme focused on accelerating growth in skills development, capacitating global networks and driving innovative new work in ever-changing markets.
Delivered by BASA in partnership with Common Purpose SA and the Pan African Creative Exchange (PACE), the programme aims to create a network of emerging leaders who can propel the sector with renewed vigour.
ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
The Cultural Producers Programme runs from April to July 2024 and brings together a core cohort of 12 mid-career creative and cultural producers. It aims to upskill and unite them as a single network that enables innovative work practice.
The project will capacitate the creative economy ecosystem in Sub-Saharan Africa and the UK through three key components: a cultural leadership programme and work placements, the SoCreative Summit 2024 and SoCreative eLearning Platform.
