Purpose of the project: The National Youth Service, founded in 1984, is the national agency for youth in Luxembourg. It is a point of contact, information, counseling, and support for young people and actors in the field of youth work. The project is part of the unit of “Support for school-to-work transitions” and offers young people that are currently not in any education employment or training program the opportunity to do voluntary work in a workshop. The workshop is located in Luxembourg city and participants can work with either wood or fabric (sewing). The main philosophy of the workshop is to upcycle materials that are donated and give them a second life. Two designers are working with the youngsters teaching them different techniques and helping them to realize projects on their own. There is a social worker in the workshop to support the youngsters in their daily life as well as giving them advice and empowering them towards an active life in the labor market or a school.
