New Horizons Leadership Programme is a new European project, led in partnership with Cirkus Syd and Rigas Cirks, and co-funded by the European Union

New Horizons Leadership Programme (NHLP) is a Baltic-Nordic collaboration with European dimension which took place in 2023/2024

The vision for NHLP-EU is to strengthen the position of the circus field in Europe by supporting future leaders to acquire and develop skills and competencies for strong leadership. NHLP-EU responds to a strong demand for the development of cultural managers, producers and artistic as well as executive directors as strong leaders and brought together 10 visionary fellows and 10 experts as well as the wider open cultural field open to all, to engage in exchanges and events related to leadership.

The 10-month programme of events included two national-level live forums, 10 digital online seminars, as well as 3-week transnational shadow experiences and peer learning through a purpose-built digital platform. The programme was open to emergent leaders in the circus sector, based in a Nordic, Baltic, or European country.

The application process is now closed but you can find the Open Call and application form on the project website: http://www.newhorizonsleadership.eu/open-call-nhlp-eu
