About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Ateliers are part of the National Youth Service. The project offers young adults (16-30) that are not currently in education employment or training the opportunity to develop skills and remain active. Participants can develop woodwork or sewing skills. The main philosophy of the workshop is to upcycle materials that are donated, giving them a second life. Two designers work with the young people teaching them different techniques and helping them to realize projects on their own. A social worker supports young people in their daily lives and gives them advice, empowering them to reach their future goals in education or the labour market. The volunteer will be part of the team and participate in all aspects of the workshop including befriending participants, participating in the crafting, updating the Instagram and preparing meals. Activities vary and depend on the volunteers strengths and interests. !!APPLICATIONS ONLY ACCEPTED when sent to this email: [email protected]!!

Transport: Access to public transport between the accommodation and the atelier. All public transport in Luxembourg is free. You will have access to shared bikes and there is the option of using a shared car.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteer will gain hands on experience of social work, particularly youth work and will have the option to learn about various concepts and theories, with a focus on the needs of young people in a NEET situation and how to react in a professional context. The volunteer can develop sewing and/or woodwork skills. There is the option of taking French, German and/or Luxembourgish language courses as well as other relevant courses. SNJ organises activities which allow you to discover Luxembourg and network.

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).
