Project Description
Our project in Luxembourg is aimed at young people aged 13-30, regardless of gender identity, educational background, socio-economic status, or cultural background. It also targets a core team of 15 young leaders aged 16-19, who will play the role of young trainers, accompanied and supported by adult trainers.
The project aims to drive positive change by raising awareness of crucial community issues and empowering young people to take an active role in their communities. Over 17 months, we aim to engage and teach 60 young people how to identify and address youth needs, express their opinions, and advocate for change. Through events, pictures, and meetings with decision-makers, we will raise awareness among 200 community members and present actionable recommendations to 12 local decision-makers. Additionally, we will seek to educate 200 community members on active citizenship and community participation, creating safe spaces for young people to discuss issues and interact with leaders, fostering a sense of belonging and enhancing their soft skills for future success.

What We Expect to Happen
We are committed to addressing the pervasive issue of bullying and fostering emotional intelligence among youth through a comprehensive project spanning several key phases.
In Work Package 1, our project management activities kick off with a crucial three-day meeting to align our team on goals, timelines, and responsibilities, ensuring efficient coordination throughout the project duration from February 1, 2024, to July 31, 2025.
Work Package 2 focuses on raising awareness and enhancing understanding of bullying. We begin by promoting the project and attracting participants through targeted actions at schools and leveraging social media presence.
- Opening events in Luxembourg and France officially introduce the project, encouraging local engagement through art submissions reflecting personal experiences of bullying.
- Drama scenarios development follows, aiming to create relatable and impactful scripts based on submitted artworks and shared experiences.
- Invitations for workshops are sent out to encourage active participation from youth, setting the stage for awareness workshops facilitated by trained youth workers.
In Work Package 3, we prioritise the development of emotional intelligence skills as a prevention method. A comprehensive curriculum focusing on Daniel Goleman’s five elements of Emotional Intelligence is tailored for young people, with specialised training kits designed for youth workers. A national training session equips these workers with the necessary skills for effective implementation, followed by pilot workshops to assess and refine the training kit’s impact. Regular feedback sessions and mentoring support ensure continuous improvement and learning.
Finally, Work Package 4 encompasses closing and follow-up activities from March 2025 to July 2025. We enhance training materials and awareness toolkits, host a closing event to showcase achievements, and conduct international evaluation meetings to document learnings and recommendations.
A final evaluation report and informative brochure are disseminated, ensuring the project’s outcomes and resources reach a wide audience online and offline, ultimately fostering community engagement and support for our mission.
Description of beneficiaries, partners and founder
The primary beneficiaries of this project are 25 dedicated youth workers, representing a diverse range of countries including Luxembourg, Romania, France, Lithuania, and Italy. These youth workers were carefully selected for their passion and commitment to supporting young people. Throughout the project, they underwent a transformative learning experience designed to refine their professional skills, broaden their understanding of youth work, and equip them with innovative strategies to better engage and empower young learners. In addition to the youth workers, the ultimate beneficiaries are the young people they train, who will directly benefit from the enhanced expertise and knowledge of their mentors. By improving the skills of these youth workers, the project aims to have a long-lasting impact on the youth they serve, ensuring that the positive outcomes ripple through their communities.
