Effects of consumerism

 PARTICIPATIVE WORKSHOP "IT IS NOT DISPLAYED ON MY MOBILE PHONE"

GSM facilitates communication in the North, the South and between the two and increasingly dominates our social life. The mobile phone has become much more than a telephone. Through various fun and educational activities, students will be shown the link between production and consumption, as well as the role to play as a responsible consumer in everyday life in Luxembourg through small steps. 

  • For whom? 11 to 18 years
  • Languages: FR, DE, LU
  • Length: 2h

 PARTICIPATIVE WORKSHOP "RETHINK YOUR CLOTHES"

The aim of this workshop is to help people understand what lies behind the production of textiles and how we consume clothes. It's a subject that particularly affects young people, who are in the process of developing their identity, seeking to express their personality and meet their need to belong to social groups, partly through the clothes they wear.

  • For whom? High school students (from 15 years old)
  • Languages: FR, LU, EN
  • Length: 2h

Decent work and modern agE slavery

PARTICIPATIVE WORKSHOP "DECENT WORK AND MODERN AGE SLAVERY"

The aim of the workshop is to make young people aware of human trafficking, to familiarise them with the key concepts of (in)decent work, which exists both in the South and in the North, such as the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. This workshop invites them to sharpen their critical thinking through games and debate and supports them in finding solutions to improve the situation.

  • For whom? High school students (from 15 years old)
  • Languages: FR, LU
  • Length: 6 sessions of 2 hours each (customisable)

Agenda 2030

Our world, our dignity, our future (OWODOF)

OWODOF is a participatory workshop of nine NGOs. The theme is Agenda 2030, the global sustainable development plan, change rather than growth. Various activities enable students to understand the global context. A link is established with the world in which the students live, and they learn in a motivating way that they themselves can make a commitment to sustainable development. The project includes both plenary and group activities.

This workshop is explicitly aimed at several classes at the same time (50 to 100 pupils aged 12 and over) and lasts 4 hours.

prevention of school dropout

 "MEETING BLINDSPOT" project

In cooperation with various high schools in the city of Luxembourg, a meeting takes place between a school class and homeless people. The aim is to open up the life worlds of the homeless to young adults, to reduce prejudice and to prevent school drop-out. The meetings take place on neutral ground and in the absence of those responsible for the young adults (only during the programme itself) in order to be able to discuss in an open and informal way and to stimulate an honest exchange between the homeless and the target group.

  • For whom? High school students (from 15 years old)
  • Languages: FR, DE, LU
  • Length: 6h
