Shaping The Future is an international project, co-financed by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union, aimed to foster the capacity of artists to imagine and shape the future through visual arts, design and critical thinking. The project’s core goal is to provide a modular support path for empowering artists in producing, disseminating and marketing their creations at an international level. By educating them on the most recent technologies and digital methodologies, as well as supporting them in the development process of an artistic project, we aim to improve visual artists' skills and competencies spanning through analogue and digital areas.

The consortium brings together four partners from Italy, Slovenia, Hungary and Belgium, each active in the field of training, promoting and supporting visual artists under complementary aspects. Accademia di Belle Arti Aldo Galli is a Fine Arts Academy, offering a transversal and interdisciplinary education focused on synergies between visual arts, restoration, design and fashion textile. Ljudmila is a laboratory for developing art, science and technology based on community and open-source approaches. Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design is a community of designers, artists & innovators working together to tackle global challenges. Cityfab 1 is a fabrication laboratory that gives anyone, regardless of their level of knowledge, access to the tools and knowledge needed to carry out projects using computer controlled machines.
