The Audience Diversity Academy is an initiative which helps drive organisational change. It addresses a key sector challenge — building new and diverse audiences from the whole of society. We use the word diversity in its broadest sense.
The entire programme takes place online. Fellows are encouraged to work in an agile way and experiment with ways of engaging new and diverse audiences by delivering work-based experiments with the support of international Mentors. They also get time to share their experiences, learn from peers and take part in online workshops.
Our Fellows represent arts, culture and heritage organisations across England. We also offer Joint Fellowships for two people from the same organisation to take part.
