Whatever it takes<\/h2>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

2025<\/div>\r\n

\u201cWhatever It Takes\u201d is the result of an intercultural, youth-led creative journey, created in partnership with Luxembourgish artist Matthew Philip De Cae.<\/p>\n

Young people aged 12 to 26, from diverse cultural backgrounds, took the lead in designing, directing, and performing the official video. The song \u2014 written and performed in 110 languages \u2014 celebrates self-confidence, identity, and perseverance. This project gave young talents the chance to drive the full creative process, expressing themselves through music, movement, and video. More than a video, it\u2019s a celebration of collaboration across cultures and a testament to the power of creativity, unity, and resilience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t

B\u00e4erbelendag mat de Kanner<\/h2>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

2025<\/div>\r\n

\u201cB\u00e4erbelendag mat de Kanner\u201d is a school-based and intergenerational project by the National Centre for Industrial Culture (CNCI), which enabled primary school pupils from Esch-sur-Alzette to discover the traditions of Saint Barbara as well as Luxembourg\u2019s mining heritage.<\/p>\n

From 24 November to 3 December 2025, creative and educational workshops introduced children to the meaning and symbols of this celebration, ahead of their participation in the procession held on 4 December in the streets of the city. By engaging with the history and symbolism of Saint Barbara through various artistic practices, the children were able to express their ideas, make creative choices, and give meaning to a national tradition that is often little known. Discussions sometimes arose from their observations and questions. The story of Saint Barbara also provided an opportunity to address contemporary themes such as youth empowerment, freedom of thought, and the development of critical thinking.<\/p>\n

The project thus fostered cultural transmission and strengthened intergenerational ties around this tradition, which has been included since 30 November 2022 in the national inventory of intangible cultural heritage under the category of social practices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t

Mat Iech \u2013 Outreach and cultural mediation programme<\/h2>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

In progress<\/div>\r\n

“Mat Iech” is the title of a project launched in 2022, which embodies Elisabeth Schilling & Company’s passion for outreach and awareness-building. Today, this project has become an essential programme within the company Making Dances asbl, aiming to create a more flexible format that focuses on mediation and interaction, while preserving the performative aspect. It enables the presentation of Elisabeth’s larger-scale works to a different audience \u2014 one that does not have access to performances held in theatres or cultural institutions where these works are usually staged. The goal is to make dance accessible to a wide audience in diverse ways.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t

Locked Out \u2013 Youth Lens on Housing<\/h2>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

In progress<\/div>\r\n

The \u2018Locked Out, Youth Lens on Housing\u2019 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t
