FUTURE-ART Project Launches in Paris: A United Effort to Empower Youth and Combat Human Trafficking

Paris, October 28, 2025 — The FUTURE-ART consortium officially launched its mission to empower youth and combat human trafficking with a dynamic first day of collaboration and planning at CNAM in Paris.

The opening day began with a welcome breakfast and an introductory address by host Jeanne Dubroca from CNAM, setting the tone for an event marked by shared commitment and vision. Representatives from all partner organizations across Europe and beyond presented their institutions and roles within the project.

Morning sessions focused on Work Package 1 (Project Coordination), led by CNAM. Discussions covered project reporting procedures, ethical guidelines, and key performance indicators. Participants were also introduced to the overall project timeline, including news about the upcoming content meeting in Turkey. The session concluded with a live demonstration of the online coordination platform by IPS, designed to facilitate effective communication and management throughout the consortium’s activities.

In the afternoon, attention turned to Work Package 2 (Capacity Building), coordinated by Militants des Savoirs. Partners confirmed their research topics, methodologies, and deliverables. This was followed by Work Package 3 (Youth Engagement & Art-Based Advocacy), led by InnoPolis, which explored the use of creative expression and digital media as tools to raise awareness, encourage activism, and mobilize young people across Europe.

The day concluded with a collective reflection on the consortium’s mission. Partners reaffirmed that FUTURE-ART is more than a collaborative project—it represents a movement of dedicated actors working together toward a safer and more equitable future.

The launch event continues with Day 2, focusing on impact assessment, community engagement, and the development of the project’s visual identity.
