On 17 September, we officially started the first working day of the 📊 Training Course “Evidence to Action: Research & Data in Youth Work” (E2A-RDYW), taking place in 📍 Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg, from 16 to 22 September 2026.

💡 The day began with the FSL team introducing the main idea behind the project: exploring how research and data can help make youth work more evidence-based, effective and reliable. Participants were also introduced to the programme, daily schedule and the learning process planned for the week. 🗓️

🤝 The first part of the day was dedicated to getting to know each other. Through interactive activities, participants had the opportunity to connect, learn more about each other’s backgrounds and experiences, and start building a comfortable and collaborative learning environment. 🌍

🔎 After lunch, the group began exploring their own interests and questions related to research and data in youth work. This opened the discussion on research design as a journey - from an initial idea to meaningful findings. 📈

🧭 We also focused on one of the most important starting points of any research process: the research question. If research is a journey, the research question is the compass that helps us understand where we are going, what information we need and how we can reach useful conclusions.

✨ The first day gave us a common starting point for the days ahead: asking better questions, exploring evidence and learning how research can become a practical tool for better youth work. 🚀

The Training Course “Evidence to Action: Research & Data in Youth Work” is organized by Formation et Sensibilisation Luxembourg (FSL) and funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission - Luxembourgish National Agency Anefore.

In the framework of the Erasmus+ KA2 project INSPIRE (Integrating New Stories through Participation, Inclusion, Rights, and Expression), and in cooperation with the Municipality of Esch-sur-Alzette – Equality Office, this summer FSL organised two Ideas Canvas events in Esch. The first event took place at Bâtiment 4, followed by a second session at Maison Sourire.

The events brought together educators, artists, people with migrant backgrounds, and people with disabilities to exchange experiences and collect educational and artistic methods that could be adapted within the scope of the project. INSPIRE focuses on making existing methods more accessible and meaningful for people who may experience both disability-related and migration-related barriers.

As a result of the two sessions, we collected 13 different methods, which were further developed and adapted to strengthen their inclusivity before being submitted to the international INSPIRE consortium. The methods cover a wide range of educational and creative activities - from inclusive cooking, nature walks, podcasting and storytelling to language cafés, open-space gatherings, visual arts and collaborative group activities. In the next phase, the methods collected and adapted by partners in Luxembourg, Germany and Sweden will be brought together and published as a practical deck of activity cards for educators, facilitators, organisations and other actors working with diverse groups.

FSL is now looking forward to new collaborations with organisations, companies, community spaces and other actors in Luxembourg who are curious to explore new approaches to inclusion and discover how everyday activities can become more accessible to people with disabilities, different backgrounds and communication needs.

If your organisation would like to host a session, test one of the methods, or explore new layers of inclusivity together with us, we would be very happy to hear from you. 🤝

The project INSPIRE is implemented by Formation et Sensibilisation Luxembourg (Luxembourg), SwIdeas (Sweden), Newcomers with disabilities in Sweden (Sweden), Municipality of Esch-sur-Alzette (Luxembourg), Blended Learning Institutions Cooperative (Germany) and funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission - Luxembourgish National Agency Anefore.

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
