ARTS THREAD Partners with Mikser and British Council Serbia to Launch 'Design Link' Initiative for Young Creators
London, United Kingdom – January 2026 – ARTS THREAD has announced a strategic collaboration with Mikser to launch Design Link, a transformative project supported by British Council Serbia.
This new initiative aims to bridge the gap between skill development, digital visibility, and international opportunities for young creatives, empowering them to become catalysts for positive societal change.
Design Link is designed to equip emerging talent with the concrete knowledge, digital tools, and professional networks necessary to ascend to the international stage.
By integrating these essential elements, the partnership seeks to foster a new generation of design leaders capable of addressing contemporary challenges through innovation and ethical practice.
The project addresses the urgent need for structured support systems that allow young creators to transition from local environments to global platforms.
Implementation of Design Link is made possible through support from the British Council’s WB-UK fund, operating within the framework of the Creative Economy programme.
This programme explicitly recognises the creative sector as a vital engine for social transformation.
It places a strong emphasis on empowering youth through skills development, ensuring that the next wave of creative professionals is prepared to contribute to a sustainable and inclusive future.
This collaboration underscores a shared commitment to elevating the voices of young creators. By providing a platform for digital visibility, ARTS THREAD and Mikser are ensuring that the next generation of design talent is not only heard but is also actively shaping the dialogue around sustainability and social responsibility on a global scale.
The initiative represents a forward-thinking approach to creative education and industry integration.
