The Swarovski Foundation has launched Swarovski Foundation Institute: Creatives for Our Future, a new global grant program designed with the United Nations Office for Partnerships to identify and accelerate the next generation of creative leaders in sustainability across fashion, design, art, architecture, science, technology and engineering.
The institute is dedicated to amplifying voices, spreading awareness and creating solutions for global social and sustainable development. The global grant program launched with an open call for submissions to all creatives aged 18 to 25 who will bring new voices and worldwide perspectives to the process.
The nine grant winners will receive a bursary, personal mentorship, educational training and industry networking in support of their developing practices, including an opportunity to present their work at the UN General Assembly in September.
The deadline for applications is April 9, 2021.
