The winners of the 2022 UP Grants contest for sustainability and innovation in cultural centres have been announced during an awards ceremony at our Make Space for the Future international meeting in Turin, Italy.

The winners are to receive a 3,500 € grant to boost their initiatives and inspire others. They discussed their projects with the conference participants during a World Café that took place right after the awards ceremony. Here are our winners, and the strand and focus of their projects:

Strand 1 - Focus 1 : Education and Raising Awareness

Materia - La Capagrossa : Giorgia Floro : giorgia.floro@gmail.com

MATERIA intends to build a point of territorial reference for training, research and small prototyping in the context of 3d making and sustainable design, with a focus on the reuse of plastics.The entire community of Ruvo di Puglia is involved in a process of collecting plastic wastes which are then used in laboratories dedicated to children and adults. The aim is to realise and produce a city gadget made of 100% recycled plastic that can represent the city.

Materia: A community practice that aims at the systematic use of secondary raw materials.

Rifiò - Educadora ONLUS : Alessandro Zianni : info@cecchipoint.it

Rifiò collects vegetables that are no more suitable for human consumption and uses them to regenerate plants that, with their flowers, provide food for pollinators; thanks to the regenerated plants we are creating a pollinators' garden in Cecchi Point Multicultural Hub courtyard and distributing plants in reused plastic boxes to the people of the neighbourhood.

Strand 1 -  Focus 2 : Arts and Sustainability

Esseri Reciproci - Banda Larga APS : Lorenzo Ricca : lorenzo@imbarchino.space

“Esseri Reciproci” is an educational path consisting of workshops, public talks, music performances and an artistic installation held across the city of Turin between July and October 2022 in order to engage the inhabitants of cultural centres - workers and regulars - and reach a broader local audience. We believe multidisciplinarity is a key element in raising awareness of current environmental issues. By bringing together artists, scientists and environmental activists we want to encourage the community of our cultural centres to act in their context.

Esseri Reciproci:  Art, science, activism: raising environmental awareness through multidisciplinarity.

Le Jardin (The Garden) - La Station - Gare des Mines : BATAILLE Gilia : gilia.bataille@mu.asso.fr

Le Jardin combines composting and gardening spaces, and works for an urban (agri)culture, creative and productive of social links. This project, led by cultural professionals, associations, and young exiles, benefits from its position at the crossroads of Porte d\'Aubervilliers to extend its circularity to the northeast of Île-de-France.   It will be as much a vector of development for the inhabitants and a local productive ecosystem, as a cultural project of awareness and emancipation, fully integrated into the programming of the place.

Le Jardin: A transdisciplinary and educational garden at la Station - Gare des Mines.

Strand 2 -  Focus 1 : Organising an Event

Slowfest in New Aquitaine - Slowfest : David Carroll : david@slowfest.org

Slowfest is a project which aims to tackle the environmental issues through culture and tourism, by taking into account the economic aspects, as well as the well-being of the participants of a 1-month regional tour in green mobility. Since 2015, Slowfest has been experimenting with new ecological and less energy-consuming ways of producing events. Together with 7 cultural centres in New Aquitaine, from La Rochelle to Bordeaux, we aim to design and implement an experimental low carbon tour (by bike, train), in order to inspire the organisation of future eco-designed touring events.

Sign up for news and be the first to access the resources

We're looking for festivals and event professionals to test the self-assessment tool that Julie's Bicycle and Native Events have created for the Future Festival Tools project. It gives you an overview of where you are now when it comes to sustainability at festivals and your next steps. Improving sustainability performance is a continuous journey rather than an end-goal, so whatever your results, the supporting recommendations can help you to make progress.

Who we are We are a group of leading organisations in events and sustainability from across Europe. Future Festival Tools is a project that bring us together to tackle the industry's environmental impact by creating tools, resources & training for the festival industry.
