Overview
Swarovski Foundation Creatives for Our Future is a global mentorship and grant program designed with advisor the United Nations Office for Partnerships to identify and accelerate the next generation of creative leaders in sustainability.
Details
Creatives for Our Future extends the Swarovski Foundation’s mission to advance creative talent and support education and advocacy collaborations that address social and environmental issues. We aim to empower the next generation of creative talent to unlock innovative new approaches to our global sustainability challenges and drive progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
Creative expression is a vehicle for evolution – not only for concepts and products, but also for changes in thinking and behavior. Creatives for Our Future harnesses the unique critical thinking and problem-solving abilities of young creatives in this pivotal era.
How it works
The program is open to all creatives worldwide aged 21 to 30 at the time of application from across disciplines including fashion, design, art, architecture and engineering. Successful applicants should be working on a project or product that uses the creative process to accelerate awareness, technology or solutions for sustainable development.
Once the call for applications has closed, the successful applicants will be notified and announced publicly in September 2024.
The six successful applicants will be required to attend a series of events in New York. All applicants must ensure they have a valid passport, US VISA and have read the program terms and conditions.
Throughout the program, cohort members are required to complete their projects outlined in their applications and drive progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals set out by the United Nations. At the end of the program, cohort members will have the opportunity to present their accomplishments in an online graduation ceremony with their peers around World Innovation and Creativity Day.
