However, whilst each Local Authority has a Year of Culture, there is no formal mechanism for skills and knowledge transfer between them – to share learnings and provide a talent escalator for Programmers, Producers, Event Managers, Marcoms, Community Engagement workers and Evaluators.
As such, West Yorkshire Combined Authority wishes to engage an organisation to design and deliver a bespoke programme of peer learning and talent escalator sessions between each of the Years of Culture teams. The successful organisation will be required to conduct a needs analysis, training sessions, knowledge sharing and networking as well as evaluations to capture the impact of the programme.
