The event was facilitated by Douglas Russell, with presentations from Hilary Carty, Director Cultural Leadership Programme, Oliver Nyumbu, CEO Caret and Kate Worley, Head of Sales and Lettings East Homes. The audience was a gathering of clients and associates.
The visit was part of the monitoring and evaluation of the placements of Harpreet Kaur, Associate Producer Beijing Modern Dance Company, and Valerie Chang, Marketing and Development Associate, 501 Art Centre, Chongqinq. It demonstrated the value and mutual benefit of these unique learning and leadership development opportunities to both the leaders and the host organisations.
