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.
