Atelier du Futur

Shape your future!

The first Ticino edition of the Atelier du Futur was a success of creativity and an explosion of new ideas aimed at the future. 

For three days, 50 girls and boys between the ages of 13 and 15 met in the picturesque setting of Villa San Quirico in Minusio, taking part in a rich program made up of meetings with prestigious guests, moments of reflection and discussion on topical issues, official screenings of the Locarno Film Festival and a series of creative workshops, including fashion, music, cinema and culinary art, to shape their own future...

Mom, you don't even realize how beautiful it is. Everything is so beautiful I can’t even explain…

Ateliers

Culinary Art

Searching for raw materials and processing in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way. A workshop that raises awareness of the use and knowledge of the natural elements that make up our food.

Music

Innovation and environmental issues come together to create the Atelier du Futur soundtrack. Accompanied by a young singer-songwriter, participants created a song and video clip.

Fashion

The importance of upcycling. Not only recovery and recycling, but new life to old fabrics and garments. In this workshop, participants understood the ethical and aesthetic value of dressing consciously and sustainably. 

Cinema

In contact with the great filmmakers present at the Festival, participants were inspired by their stories and experience, putting the lessons to use to make a first short film. 

The Atelier du Futur is already looking to the near future! Many practical aspects of the second edition will be confirmed in the coming months, so we cannot reveal more at the moment.
