Engaging youth for creative climate action
Feed Your Future is a Creative Europe cooperation project empowering young people to shape sustainable food systems through art, design, and activism. Building on the legacy of the Food Wave prohect, it brings together artists, activists, local authorities, and communities across eight countries to explore how creativity can inspire food policy, climate action and fairer ways of producing, sharing, and experiencing food.
Through an international School of Artivism, public performances, collective residencies, and capacity-building programmes, Feed Your Future seeks to transform food into a space for dialogue, imagination, and policy innovation—nurturing a new generation of creators committed to climate justice, sustainable food systems, cultural exchange, and a more nourishing future for all.
Feed Your Future consortium
The Feed Your Future consortium brings together a diverse alliance of European cities, cultural organisations, universities, and civil society actors. Led by the Municipality of Milan, the partnership includes Xarkis (Cyprus), Rede DLBC Lisboa (Portugal), the Municipality of Almere (Netherlands), the Brașov Metropolitan Agency for Sustainable Development (Romania), BJCEM – Biennale des Jeunes Créateurs de l’Europe et de la Méditerranée (Belgium), ActionAid Hellas (Greece), and IED – Istituto Europeo di Design (Spain). Each partner contributes unique expertise—from youth engagement to public art, from sustainable food policy implementation to design education—creating a powerful ecosystem that supports emerging creators, strengthens local communities, and fosters cross-border collaboration.
