About Futura C

Futura C is a cross-border journey into the future of sustainable and inclusive culture. Bringing together artistic professionals from France, Germany, and beyond, the project empowers the cultural sector to rethink how events are imagined, designed, and produced.

At its core, Futura C equips cultural practitioners with the tools and confidence to create event formats that are environmentally responsible, socially fair, and creatively bold. Through an international workshop series and a hands-on digital toolkit, participants discover practical strategies inspired by the EU GreenComp Framework as well as the EU principles of equality, diversity, and non-discrimination.

Anchored in the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), Futura C supports professional development that truly makes a difference: participants learn skills they can apply immediately while shaping a more sustainable cultural landscape for the long term.

Futura C is not just a project — it’s a movement toward greener, fairer, and more future-ready cultural experiences across Europe.

What We Offer Festivals and Conferences

Futura C partners with festivals, conferences, and cultural platforms eager to push sustainability and inclusion from theory into action. When we collaborate with an event, we bring:

  1. Dynamic on-site workshops that activate teams and inspire new ways of working

  2. Expert knowledge on sustainable production, from low-impact logistics to smarter resource use

  3. Fresh perspectives on inclusion, accessibility, and equitable participation

  4. Ready-to-use tools and guidelines that help organisers implement improvements right away

  5. Transnational insights that open doors to new creative and organisational ideas

For host festivals and conferences, joining Futura C means strengthening their sustainability profile while offering their staff and partners a meaningful professional development opportunity.
