PLATFORM THIRTY1 IS RECRUITING: CALLING ALL WOMEN WORKING IN THE ARTS

Lean On is a professional development programme for women working in arts and culture, devised and delivered by Platform Thirty1.

It's free. It's powerful. It centres the importance of connection, knowledge sharing, and showing up - for ourselves and each other.

45 women are in the Lean On alumni, and Platform Thirty1 are currently recruiting our fourth cohort, and our fifth cohort later this year too. Focusing on women living in north/east Derbyshire where we know there isn't significant creative infrastructure.

Why is Lean On necessary?

Women are consistently underrepresented in the creative and cultural sectors, particularly in leadership roles. If you have a working class background, disability, and/or are a woman of colour the stats are worse still. Internal narratives, external bias, personal circumstance and additional mental workloads all feature here. Creating a community that prioritises YOU and what/who/how YOU want your business to be is essential.
