FOR YOUNG PEOPLE LIVING IN PERIPHERAL AREAS IN LUXEMBOURG
GOT AN IDEA? WE’VE GOT UP TO €1000 FOR IT 💥

FSL, in the frame of the project Spark, is handing out group grants of up to €1000 to teams of young people who want to make something happen in their community — together.
What’s the catch? There isn’t one, but it’s a team effort: this grant is for a group, not an individual — so gather your crew before you apply. We’re looking for teams of at least 10 young people, working alongside 1–2 youth workers or mentors who’ll support you along the way.
Your initiative should put young people from peripheral areas of Luxembourg at the centre — not just as participants, but as the ones shaping the idea, planning it, and deciding how it goes. More voice, more visibility, more of a say in what happens around you. Sports tournament, art jam, clean-up day, podcast, workshop, flash mob, community garden — if your group designs it, drives it, and it gets young people more active in community life, it counts.

Here’s the deal:
📅 Projects run on any date in October–November
📝 Deadline to apply: September 20
📄 To apply, send a one-page description of your idea to [email protected] — tell us who’s in your group, how you came up with the idea together, and how it will boost youth participation in your area
⚡ Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis — the earlier you apply, the better your chances (spots fill up!)
🎓 Selected teams get invited to free online workshops on project management — so you’ll actually know how to pull it off
📸 Along the way, we’ll ask you to keep track of what you tried, what worked, and what you’d do differently — this helps other young people across Europe learn from what you build
You don’t need experience. You don’t need a fancy plan. You just need an idea, a group of at least 10, and a mentor or two who’s got your back.
Got questions? Reach out anytime at [email protected].
So — what’s your Spark? 🔥
Apply now, don’t wait until September 20

🎓 Day 5 of the Youth Exchange SPARKling (YES) in Druogno, Italy was dedicated to reflection, recognition, and celebrating the learning journey that participants have shared throughout the week.

The day began with a session on the importance of visibility and how young people can make their initiatives, ideas, and actions more visible within their communities. Participants then worked in international groups to revisit the activities of the exchange, creating visual summaries and posters that captured key moments, lessons learned, and memorable experiences from the project.

One of the most anticipated moments followed with the reveal of the Secret Friend game. Since the very first day, participants had been anonymously supporting, encouraging, and surprising one another through small acts of kindness. The final reveal brought many smiles, laughter, and heartfelt moments as everyone discovered who had been looking out for them throughout the week.

The afternoon focused on personal learning and evaluation. Participants received their YouthPass certificates, completed self-assessment forms, and wrote follow-up letters to their future selves, reflecting on what they had learned and how they hope to apply these experiences after returning home. The group also evaluated the project using the Pizza Method, sharing feedback on different aspects of the exchange in a creative and engaging way.

The official activities concluded with a group photo and a closing circle, marking the end of an intensive week of learning, friendship and participation. In the evening, participants are gathering one last time for a farewell dinner, celebrating the connections they had built and the memories they will carry home from SPARKling (YES). ✨

🌿 Day 4 of the Youth Exchange SPARKling (YES) in Druogno, Italy combined learning, communication, and shared experiences in nature.

The day began with a series of non-formal education activities exploring different aspects of participation and the many ways young people can contribute to their communities. Through interactive exercises and discussions, the group reflected on what encourages participation, what barriers exist, and how active engagement can take many different forms.

Later, the group took part in a language animation activity that brought together communication, creativity, and trust-building. Through playful challenges and multilingual interactions, participants discovered new ways of connecting beyond language barriers while strengthening their confidence in working with people from different cultural backgrounds.

In the second half of the day, the participants moved outdoors as participants visited a nearby waterfall nestled in the mountains. Surrounded by nature, the group enjoyed fresh mountain water, refreshing swims, and informal conversations that continued to strengthen friendships and intercultural connections.

The evening offered a different kind of learning space, with participants gathering around board games, sharing strategies, laughter, and friendly competition. Beyond the fun, the games encouraged cooperation, communication, and social interaction - skills that are at the heart of meaningful participation. ✨

✨ This week the Maison Communautaire in Differdange opened its doors to a group of the association Formation et Sensibilisation Luxembourg - FSL.

It was not the building that impressed our visitors most, but the voices of three young people who shared — simply and with clarity — what this space means to them. They spoke of the Maison as the place where they grew up, where their parents found true friends, and where together capacities and attitudes are cultivated to foster welcoming communities and mutual support.

Their reflections highlighted what animates the life of the Maison communautaire:

🌱 an attitude of learning, where every experience — success or challenge —becomes a stepping stone toward growth;
🌍 an outward-looking posture, seeking to serve and to walk alongside all those striving for the betterment of society;
🌟 youth as protagonists, shaping the present and future of their communities with vision and determination;
🤝 universal participation, where every individual, regardless of age or background, finds a place to contribute and belong.

Moments like these remind us that building vibrant, welcoming communities is not the work of a few, but the shared endeavor of all.

We would like, therefore, to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Formation et Sensibilisation Luxembourg - FSL for this precious opportunity to learn from each other in the context of community-building and we are very happy to continue these visits in the future.

FSLux organizes a long-term training entitled "Community Development Tools" which allows participants from all over Europe to learn together about community engagement, mental well-being and resilience.

🎲 What happens when learning becomes a game?

During the SPARKling Youth Exchange in Druogno, young people experienced ON FIRE, the participatory board game developed within the SPARK project.

More than a game, ON FIRE creates a space to play, discuss and reflect. Through questions, choices and shared challenges, participants exchange perspectives, collaborate and explore youth participation in an interactive and accessible way.

Around the table, learning becomes active: energy turns into dialogue, interaction into collaboration, and play into meaningful reflection. 🔥

Swipe through the carousel to see ON FIRE in action, and tell us in the comments: what makes learning meaningful for you?

ON FIRE was developed within “SPARK – From Inspiration to Action: Empowering Youth in Peripheral Regions”, an Erasmus+ KA220-YOU project.
