The ITP Advisory Board supports and advises the International Training Programme team on their annual programmes and legacy projects. Made up of former ITP Senior Fellows, the role of the Board is make recommendations to ITP team on policies, procedures and programming for all ITP projects and programmes.
Background
In 2020 the Marie-Louise von Motesiczky Charitable Trust generously continued their support for the development and delivery of the International Training Programme (ITP). This support enabled ITP Senior Fellows to participate in the ITP Futures legacy project.
A major outcome of ITP Futures was the creation of the ITP Advisory Board. Members of the ITP Advisory Board will bring their skills, knowledge and lived experience of culture and heritage sectors around the world to help shape the annual programme and support the planning and development of current and future projects.
The project looked ahead to the future and aimed at developing the best ways in which Senior Fellows could help shape the future of both the annual programme and legacy projects.
