LONDON, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

The Swarovski Foundation announces the second year of Creatives for Our Future,

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.

Swarovski Foundation Creatives for Our Future commences with a four-week open

call to all creatives worldwide aged 21 to 30 from disciplines including

fashion, design, art, architecture, science, technology, and engineering – with

no limit to creative medium. Successful applicants will have a keen interest

in, demonstration of, or exemplary potential to use the creative process to

accelerate awareness, technologies, or solutions for sustainable development.

The Swarovski Foundation aims to draw in a diverse pool of applicants globally

and bring new voices and perspectives to the creative process.

Selected grantees will receive financial support to further their projects and

design new pathways for a better world. The funding is paired with an

educational program in collaboration with top international institutions,

tailored mentorship, and industry networking connections with guidance from the

Swarovski Foundation. Each participating Program Advocate, leaders in their

field, will represent the broadest range of creative disciplines from fashion

and art to technology and science.

Throughout the program, grantees will be provided support to develop the

innovations and practices outlined in their applications and drive progress

toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The successful grantees will

be invited to New York in September 2022 during the United Nations General

Assembly for their first high-level industry network engagement to not only

announce the Creatives for our Future program's second year but to also meet

their fellow participants.

Further details on the program, application process and grants can be found on
