Open Call: Keychange Talent Leadership Programme
We are very thrilled to announce that applications for the Talent Leadership Programme (TLP) 2025–2026 are now open. This Creative Europe-funded initiative is a unique opportunity for women and gender-diverse professionals and artists to grow as leaders, connect with an international network, and create lasting impact in the music industry.
The Talent Leadership Programme is a hands-on, six-month training experience that gives participants the tools, knowledge, and support to drive change in their organisations, communities, and beyond. This year 43 participants from Europe and Canada come together to explore leadership, social change, entrepreneurship, and diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) principles while building a vibrant network of like-minded peers.
