Paris, France | October 28-29, 2025

InnoPolis Centre for Innovation and Culture will participate in the official kick-off meeting of the FUTURE-ART Project at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM) in Paris on October 28-29, 2025. This gathering will bring together all seven consortium partners from across Europe to formally launch this Erasmus+ initiative dedicated to combating human trafficking through youth empowerment and creative expression.

The FUTURE-ART Project (Sentinelles de l’Avenir: Ensemble pour Éradiquer la Traite des Humains) is a three-year collaboration uniting organizations from France, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, Greece, and Turkey. With a total budget of 400,000 euros, the project aims to raise awareness about human trafficking, empower young people to recognize and combat this issue, and advocate for stronger anti-trafficking policies across Europe.

InnoPolis to Lead Work Package 3

During the two-day meeting, partners will establish coordination frameworks, review Erasmus+ requirements, and present detailed plans for all four Work Packages. InnoPolis is honored to lead Work Package 3: Youth Engagement, Advocacy, and Public Awareness using Art, which will run from March 2027 to March 2028.

WP3 will deliver interactive art workshops across six partner countries, art competitions and public exhibitions engaging over 3,000 visitors, augmented reality installations and a mobile game, street art campaigns reaching 6,000 people per country, and youth advocacy workshops empowering 120 young leaders. The total expected reach is over 20,000 people directly engaged across Europe.

InnoPolis will specifically lead the public art exhibitions, coordinate the content meeting for AR installations in Greece, and oversee the dissemination of WP3 results.

The consortium partners include CNAM (France) as coordinator, IPS/Qualify Just (Portugal), UNICAL (Italy), Spin System (Belgium), MDS (France), InnoPolis (Greece), and SEHA (Turkey). Together, these organizations bring expertise in research, education, digital innovation, youth work, and community engagement to address one of Europe’s most pressing human rights challenges.Retry
