NETWORK DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

Our Dedicated Network
Members Portal

To create a high quality space for our network members to gather, access resources, stay in touch, self-organise into special interest groups and find their local ITAC Hub, we have built a bespoke portal!

Members can create a profile and use this Teaching Artist-specific space to help ensure ITAC remains an accessible and valuable platform for our sector.

The Young and Emerging Leaders Forum (YELF), created by ITAC and Creative Generative, aims to address the generational gaps and absences often seen in international networks and conferences. This 9-month peer-building program provides a platform for future leaders, actively tackles the exclusion of young people in leadership spaces within our sector, and creates the necessary pipelines for a sustainable and inclusive network and sector.

The ITAC Innovators initiative is an annual program that identifies and empowers leaders and ideas from within our network to address the lack of resources and tools in our sector. Each year, we invite our membership to propose projects, commission a select few, and have the leaders build the tools they envision alongside a volunteer working group from our network. This effort creates new resources by mobilizing small international subgroups who share an interest and take action together.
