Supporting Global Majority Leaders in the Cultural Sector

The Brilliant Routes Network is a supportive space for Global Majority cultural leaders addressing issues of progression and retention in the cultural sector.

Brilliant Routes forms a key part of Clore Leadership’s Inclusive Leadership delivery for Arts Council England’s Transforming Leadership programme, which prioritises activities to address existing gaps in diversity in the leadership of culture.

For the past three years Studio Gaylene Gould, a company founded by Clore Fellow Gaylene Gould, has curated a programme to support this group’s professional development. In 2022 they piloted Re-UP! a special programme designed to address issues of burnout supported by Gaylene Gould’s research for Clore Leadership Re-UP! Restorative Care Practice as Leadership Development.

The next Re-UP! will run between February to May 2025 for past alumni and new participants. There will also be an opportunity for a small number spaces for Re-UP! style training to those who have existing coaching or creative facilitation practice. This will run from February to September 2025.

Why Choose Re-Up?

Re-UP! is a transformative programme designed to empower Global Majority leaders to explore Restorative Leadership, fostering practices of support, care, and communal growth. Through workshops, “Reasoning” talks, Kinship Circles, and embodied and creative activities, Re-UP! provides cultural professionals with an opportunity to replenish their energy while deepening their capacity to sustain a healthy professional life.

Testimonials

I just love the whole programme, it’s so inspiring and uplifting. The speakers are really high level and there is an atmosphere of support and trust.

Previous Participant

It was a space where I did not have to explain myself, even before a word had been said. That in itself was a weight lifted – for there to be space in being present without presenting a falsehood.

Previous Participant

For the first time in my 25 year career these talks and break out rooms have created a safe and supportive space for me to reflect and take direct action. They have given me strength. Thank you so much”
