3. Become A Risks, Rights and Reputations Ambassador

The Rights, Risks and Reputations Ambassadors Programme is a unique professional development programme bringing together a diverse mix of individuals who are passionate about experimentation and artistic risk in the cultural sector.

What Next? are looking to recruit 20 pairs of regional ambassadors to support their local cultural community to safely take creative and reputational risks, understand their responsibilities and rights, and the rights of their artists and communities, and to manage complex situations as they arise.

You will deepen your knowledge and understanding of Rights, Risks and Reputations through a comprehensive programme of training, support and digital resources. As an ambassador, you will be linked to a national peer network as well as having access to tools and resources to support you to lead a session that cascades your learning locally and helps to challenge a risk averse culture.

The programme actively seeks to be fully representative of, reflect, and meet the needs of the arts and cultural community across; gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion and class.

There is no cost to participants for this programme and there are bursaries available for freelancers.

For further information and to apply by Monday 26 February via a simple online form visit the What Next? website.
