• In Dialogue Film Series

The Centre for Cultural Partnerships (CCP) has produced the first in a series of films to promote dialogue about issues relevant to community cultural development. This first film on Community Leadership presents the thoughts and insights of a number of community leaders, artists and educators, who were invited to reflect on how leadership can contribute to empowering communities and on the role of artists and cultural entrepreneurs as facilitators of social creativity and social change.

The Community Leadership film explores a number of themes including:

• the cultural and social constructs of leadership within different communities;
• the need for leadership to be context-specific;
• the qualities and processes of ‘transformative’, ‘adaptive’ or ‘liberating’ leadership; and
• the relationships of power and how leadership can be empowering and for whom.

As a forum for discussion, the Centre for Cultural Partnership invites your respond and comments on the web film blog on youtube.
