The Programme   How to ApplyAbout


In March 2025, ECHO continues with its Academy in Barcelona, bringing together young creatives and thinkers from across Europe, to focus on 
climate change. An urgent challenge that requires innovation, creativity and collective action.



ECHO is an exciting opportunity for a selected group of 15 participants aged 18-35 from various disciplines and experiences. Over approximately 12 weeks, you'll engage in workshops and activities led by artists and experts from various fields to support and inspire you in the development of your creative campaign. 

Climate change is not just a distant concern—it is an existential threat that demands urgent attention, especially for us younger generations who will inherit the consequences.

Urban heat islands —where densely built areas trap heat— are becoming more severe, posing serious health risks to residents in cities around the world. While these issues highlight the urgency of the climate crisis, they also underscore the importance of proactive environmental policies that reduce air pollution, promote green spaces, and support biodiversity.

During the program, you’ll work in teams to create and launch your own campaign around this theme, using a dedicated campaign budget to drive real change and inspire your peers. You’ll receive training from renowned artists, campaign experts, and industry leaders on how to craft effective campaigns and make a meaningful impact.
