Keychange Talent Development Programme 2025
Keychange Talent Development Programme is calling for applications from women and gender-diverse individuals ready to lead change in the music industry for the six-month online and in-person training programme between April and September 2025.
The Talent Leadership Programme (TLP) is a Creative Europe-funded training programme, created by Keychange—a global movement supporting underrepresented talents and leading collective actions to create a better, more inclusive music industry for present and future generations.
The programme equips future leaders with the tools to drive diversity, inclusion, equity and accessibility (DIEA). Through workshops, mentoring, and hands-on projects, participants gain practical skills, fresh insights, and the confidence to inspire change locally and globally.
The programme begins at Tallinn Music Week (Estonia) 3–4 April 2025 and wraps up at the Reeperbahn Festival (Germany) 17–20 September 2025. Successful applicants will be required to commit to the below:
- Mandatory attendance at the two in-person events.
- 24 sessions, 2 hours per week, between April and September 2025.
- An estimated average time of 4 hours of work a week (live sessions + independent work).
Eligibility
Applicants need to be based in one of the Creative Europe countries, the UK or Canada and have a minimum five years’ experience in the music industries and over one year of experience in the field of DEIA (Diversity Equity Inclusivity and Accessibility).
Support
Each participant will get a baseline travel bursary. The programme also allocates extra funds to participants with childcare needs and participants with accessibility needs.
