THE FOUNDATION

Founded in 2014, ACT ON YOUR FUTURE is a Swiss non-profit foundation based in Geneva that works to foster civic engagement among the next generation of socially active youth. Through social and cultural projects, the Foundation harnesses the power of visual arts to transform the way the youth learn about human rights and engage in social causes.

OUR PROJECTS

The Foundation currently undertakes three main projects: the Human Rights Photography Prize for young European artists, the Human Rights Watch Prize for high school students of the Geneva area, as well as cultural mediation activities to gather testimonies of refugees in Geneva.
