Swarovski Foundation Creatives for Our Future 2026: Global Grant and Education Programme for Young Creatives Advancing the Sustainable Development Goals

The Swarovski Foundation, in collaboration with the United Nations Office for Partnerships, is inviting applications for the next edition of the Creatives for Our Future programme. This global initiative is designed to identify, support, educate, and accelerate the next generation of creative changemakers working toward sustainable development.

The programme is aimed at young creatives who are using innovation, design, technology, and creative practice to address sustainability challenges and contribute to progress toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Selected participants will receive financial support alongside education, mentorship, masterclasses, professional networking opportunities, and access to industry events.

Rather than focusing exclusively on financial assistance, the programme combines grant funding with education, mentorship, and professional development across creative disciplines such as fashion, design, art, architecture, and engineering. This holistic approach helps emerging creatives strengthen their practices while increasing the potential social and environmental impact of their work.
