Black on Board: Seeing Ourselves

What is Seeing Ourselves: Black on Board?

Do you want to:

  • Become a board member ?

  • Develop leadership skills ?

  • Progress your career ?

Seeing Ourselves was set-up to address the underrepresentation of people of colour on boards in the arts, culture, and heritage sector. The programme is commissioned by the Black Cultural Archives and will be delivered by Olmec as Masterclasses of their Black on Board training programme.

What will it cover?

Seeing Ourselves covers the key areas that you need to become a board member from understanding types of board, and your legal and financial duties through to the core principles of running an organisation.
