The “EarGlasses” project is an educational initiative designed to introduce students to podcast creation as a tool for cultural expression, language development, and enhanced media literacy.

Over the course of ten weeks, participants will take part in practical workshops led by a team of media professionals coordinated by Jess Bauldry. The program includes sessions on storytelling, audio production, and editing. Students will be encouraged to explore their cultural identities, share their experiences, and produce their own audio content in a supportive and inclusive environment.

The project will culminate in a public presentation of the podcasts in front of peers, teachers, and families, celebrating the students’ achievements and fostering intercultural dialogue.

Led by the association Youth Work Synergy, the project “Locked Out – Youth Lens on Housing” uses documentary filmmaking as a medium to give young people a voice in the face of the housing crisis in Luxembourg. Through a series of practical workshops led by professional artists, ten young participants aged 17 to 25 will be trained in filmmaking techniques (scriptwriting, filming, sound, editing) while exploring the structural challenges related to access to housing.

The project offers them not only artistic and technical skills, but also a platform to express themselves and bring their voices to the wider public and decision-makers. The documentary, co-created by the participants, will be presented at a public screening followed by a discussion with stakeholders from the housing sector to encourage collective reflection on potential solutions.

In partnership with Life asbl, this initiative combines arts education, civic engagement, and awareness of social inequalities, contributing to the empowerment of young people through arts and culture.

The Filmreakter Youth Ateliers project offered young people aged 16 to 20 from disadvantaged or underrepresented backgrounds a unique opportunity to dive into the world of cinema by co-creating a short film. Through a pedagogical and immersive approach, the program guided participants through every stage of the filmmaking process—from scriptwriting to final editing. Supported by industry professionals, the young participants developed their skills while benefiting from a free and creative space for self-expression. The result was the short film “De nos jours”, which was publicly presented at the Rotondes on May 27, 2025.

Filmreakter embraces an approach in which young people are fully involved in the creative process, applying three core principles: free experimentation, collaborative work, and caring guidance. In a context where access to film professions is often limited to certain social groups, Filmreakter Youth Ateliers seeks to reduce these inequalities and foster greater diversity in the audiovisual landscape.

“Infra” is an educational project led by Le Ballet Populaire asbl and directed by dancer and choreographer Brian Ca. It explores the perception of the body in various contexts, questioning its constraints and freedoms.

Through educational activities linked to artistic creation, “Infra” invites secondary school students (aged 12-19) to discover a unique creative process and enhance their artistic expression. The project takes place in partner schools, including Lycée Nic-Biever de Dudelange Annexe Alliance, Bouneweger Lycée, and the National School for Adults.

“Infra” is an immersive experience that encourages reflection on movement and the interaction between the body and its environment. It features the participation of renowned artists, including Brian Ca (dance, choreography) and Ivan Pavlov (composer, musician).

The project “L C Danser – Warriors 360°” is an educational, cultural, and participatory initiative of the Lycée Classique de Diekirch, aimed at students from various educational backgrounds, with particular attention to students from technical education and Clija classes. By combining contemporary dance and hip-hop with martial arts and physical expression, this project promotes social inclusion, well-being, and personal development for the participants.

Building on the success of the “L C Danser – Au rythme des couleurs” project, supported by the Sommer Foundation in 2023-2024, “Warriors 360°” capitalizes on the positive impact of dance at the LCD revealed by this first experience. This new edition enriches the project by incorporating martial arts, offering students the opportunity to push their limits, explore new forms of expression, and boost their self-confidence. Through the involvement of external artists, the students participate in all stages of the creative process, becoming active participants in their own artistic expression.

Through the project “Sustainable art as a bridge for social integration in Luxembourg,” the non-profit organization ARK uses art as a means of inclusion and empowerment. By providing children and families in vulnerable situations, including refugees, with access to art workshops inspired by sustainable techniques, this project promotes their social and cultural integration.

During the 2024/2025 school year, thanks to multilingual teaching and creative activities, participants build self-confidence, learn French, and benefit from a safe and supportive space for self-expression. Currently, 23 young people are enrolled in the program. While “Express Yourself Through Art and a Sustainable Lifestyle” was the motto of the first semester, the second focuses on “Famous Artists from Around the World Using Sustainable Materials and Techniques.”

The exhibitions and events organized each semester strengthen community bonds and raise awareness of the importance of a sustainable lifestyle.
