About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The Service National de la Jeunesse (SNJ) (National Youth Service) is a state agency under the Ministry of Education, Children, and Youth. It supports young people in their personal development through educational programs and volunteering opportunities. The Schengen Vibes project celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Schengen Agreement by engaging young volunteers in exploring Europe’s borders through media and music. Participants will receive an introduction to European borders and gain practical skills in journalism, media production and songwriting. They will interview people about life before open borders, learn to edit interviews and collaborate with artists Sacha Hanlet and MAZ Universe to compose a song about Europe’s borders. The project will culminate in a live performance at the Fête de la Musique and a visit to the Schengen Europe Museum, including the historic ship where the agreement was signed.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will stay at the Scout Center "Badboeschelchen" near Mondorf in shared rooms. Participants must purchase food for breakfast and dinner themselves (the costs will be covered) and will cook dinner together. The next supermarket is 15min. away from the Center. Lunch is always organized by the team or either in the youth hostel in Remerschen. The project activities (interviews and songwriting/performance) will take place in Remerschen and Schengen. Public transport in Luxembourg is free of charge, making it easy to travel between locations.

🎒 Leisure activities

The first week includes an On-Arrival Training, covering teamwork and an introduction to Europe’s borders. Volunteers will receive media training at the Mediafactory (SNJ Center - Marienthal), learning how to conduct and edit interviews. Artistic coaching will be provided by Sacha Hanlet and MAZ Universe, guiding participants in songwriting and stage performance. SNJ staff will offer continuous support throughout the project.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for volunteers with an interest in Europe and its borders, as well as in media and music. Experience in music or playing an instrument is a plus, but not required. More important is motivation to explore interviews, songwriting and performance connected to the topic of Europe and its borders. Participants should be curious, creative, open-minded and enjoy working in a team. Basic English skills are required.
Deadline: 13/04/2025 00:00

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
