Description
Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity’s Indigenous Leadership program combines project management theory and practical tools with Indigenous wisdom. It develops participants’ ability to lead projects from start to finish, deliver them within scope, and build a professional project management environment that supports securing funding and developing projects for organizations, institutions, and communities. Financial assistance helps eligible participants cover program fees.
Through a practical business case exercise, participants explore the project life cycle, planning techniques, scope, schedule, cost, quality, resources, risk, communication, stakeholder engagement, change management, and performance management. Guidance from an Elder connects learning with traditional and spiritual wisdom, the land, and cultural teachings. Indigenous wise practices inform the program throughout, including how participants can build foundations for revitalizing these practices in their communities.
