💡 What is the programme about?

CCC Switzerland 2026 is a transformative leadership programme for creative people who want to make a difference through their work.

The five-day residential week combines learning, exchange, and collaboration. CCC is grounded in core values of reciprocity, care, and climate justice.

What does the programme offer?

The CCC Switzerland programme includes:

An inspiring 5 day residential programme of learning and peer-to-peer exchange for 24 motivated participants living and working in Switzerland who want to take a lead on climate transformation, taking place 29 March – 03 April 2026.

Networking, peer-support, knowledge sharing and group coaching through a Swiss CCC alumni network, focusing on building new relationships between the CCC Switzerland 2024 cohort and the new CCC Switzerland 2026 cohort.

Participants will also have an opportunity to apply for one of up to three CHF 10,000 collaborative CCC Seed Grants to support emerging projects and ideas.

The programme will:

Explore the role of culture and creativity in responding to climate change and environmental challenges.
Offer a powerful opportunity to collaborate and develop creative ideas in a serene environment, and a space to develop cultural leadership on climate action and justice.
Share case studies, research, approaches and collaborative ways of working to maximise impact in the creative sector, civic society, and policy making.

Acknowledging the urgent need for renewal, our approach is rooted in reciprocity and care for an immersive experience to explore what kind of leadership is needed now, together.

By taking part, you’ll join a global network of more than 200 changemakers in over 30 countries – people shaping the future with passion, creativity, and responsibility. The programme also offers up to three collaborative Seed Grants of CHF 10,000 each to bring new projects to life.

The programme was formerly known as Creative Climate Leadership (CCL) – it is now called Creative Climate Changemakers (CCC). Why? Because change doesn’t depend only on “leaders”, but on everyone who is ready to take responsibility and imagine new paths forward.

That resonates with us – and we hope it resonates with you too!

The very first swiss edition was held in Morschach in March 2024: Foogy, rainy days assembled with the magic of snow gave an unsuspected charm to this extraordinary week, like a trip through Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky. Have a look at the trailer and/or the film and enjoy!
