OUR

MISSION

Swarovski Foundation Creatives for Our Future extends the Swarovski Foundation’s mission to foster and support cultural, education and advocacy collaborations addressing human rights and environmental issues, inequality and wellbeing.

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 (SDGs).


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.
