Mentorship Award: Building Beyond 2023

12 individuals received a Mentorship Award Building Beyond. This programme was implemented in collaboration with the Creative Industries Fund-NL (Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie). The Mentorship Awards were granted to creatives from a range of African countries who are reimagining the future of African cities through design and creative problem solving. In this programme we invite participants to define the future of public space, community and functionality on a growing continent by activating the imagined possibilities of their local contexts. This theme was developed in conversation with the Creative Industries Fund-NL, based on Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. The call was further developed based on input from members of the Prince Claus Fund network based in the target countries in Africa and with practices rooted in design and urbanism.
