Youth Upcycling Workshop
Service national de la jeunesse
Luxembourg, Luxembursko
Opis
The Ateliers are part of the National Youth Service.
The project offers young adults (16-30) that are not currently in education employment or training the opportunity to develop skills and remain active. Participants can develop sewing and cooking skills. The main philosophy of the workshop is to up-cycle materials that are donated, giving them a second life.
Two designers work with the young people teaching them different techniques and helping them to realize projects on their own.
A social worker supports young people in their daily lives and gives them advice, empowering them to reacher their future goals in education or the labour market.
The volunteer will be part of the team and participate in all aspects of the workshop including befriending participants, crafting, refining textiles, updating the Instagram and preparing meals. Activities vary and depend on the volunteers strengths and interests. Sport activities are also an important part of the offer.
