About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The 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 sewing and cooking skills. The main philosophy of the workshop is to up-cycle 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 reacher 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, refining textiles, updating the Instagram and preparing meals. Activities vary and depend on the volunteers strengths and interests.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation: Shared living with other international volunteers and Luxembourgish students. Individual bedrooms with a shared kitchen and bathrooms (fully equipped and furnished). Food: We cook lunch together in the atelier during the week. The volunteer can suggest and cook meals. Dietary preferences can be accommodated. Volunteers receive monthly pocket money and food money. 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 textile finishing skills as well as cooking skills. There is the option of taking French, German and/or Luxembourgish language courses as well as other relevant courses. SNJ organizes 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).
