About MRL. The Museums and Resilient Leadership Programme is a unique course designed to develop you as a new kind of cultural sector professional. The Programme draws on a wealth of knowledge and insight about leadership in the cultural, commercial and political spheres.

MRL commences at 11.30am on 9 May 2018 and concludes at 3.00pm on 15 March 2019. Between those two moments you will participate in a highly innovative, discovery-driven learning process, which includes two 3-day residentials, 8 interactive workshops, a number of site visits, an overseas study visit and 3 one-to-one mentorials with your personal MRL mentor. 14 places are available; if you work in an arts or heritage organisation in England you are eligible to apply.
