The Creatives For Our Future Programme provides support to young creatives worldwide with grants and development opportunities to advance projects accelerating sustainable development.

The initiative seeks to harness creative disciplines to accelerate awareness, technology, and solutions for sustainable development, directly supporting progress toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Six selected participants will each receive a €20,000 grant, an immersive week in London with workshops and exclusive activations, and access to a year-long development programme featuring one-to-one mentorship, expert-led masterclasses, and networking with leading industry professionals.

The programme is open to creative individuals worldwide, aged 21 to 30, working in fields such as fashion, design, art, architecture, technology, and engineering. Applicants must be developing their own project or product that uses a creative medium to advance sustainable development. Projects at all stages, from new ideas to market-ready enterprises, are welcome, provided the applicant is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the intellectual property involved.

Performing arts and literature projects are not eligible, nor are projects proposed by co-founders or on behalf of companies. The grant cannot be used to finance university costs such as tuition or housing. Applicants must have a bank account in their name and be able to travel to the United Kingdom for programme activities, meeting all applicable entry requirements.

Applications must be submitted in English and include a video presentation. Selected cohort members are required to attend all programme events, both virtual and in-person, and to submit progress and final reports as specified. Grant funds must be used exclusively for the CFOF project, and participants are responsible for any taxes on the grant.
