The ‘Locked Out, Youth Lens on Housing’ project is a creative documentary initiative by Youth Work Synergie asbl that brings together young people living in Luxembourg to explore the housing crisis through their own eyes. The young people learnt the basics of documentary filmmaking, ranging from storytelling to camerawork, cinematography, lighting and editing. Through practical workshops, they acquired technical skills whilst developing their ability to tell personal and socially engaged stories.

The project went beyond mere technical training: it established itself as a genuine space for expression, enabling young people to take ownership of their stories and actively participate in public debate. The final documentary, enriched with interviews with experts and young people directly affected, was screened publicly, followed by in-depth discussions with the audience.

These discussions, which were often in-depth and enriching, brought together key figures from the housing sector, offering participants the opportunity to share their perspectives directly with those involved in this issue.
