Formation et Sensibilisation de Luxembourg

“Formation et Sensibilisation de Luxembourg” Association was registered in 2020 on the basis of the non-formal group "Foreign Students of Luxembourg" (FSL) which was created in 2013. The main objectives of the Association are: to establish, promote and support social awareness regarding the importance of education with a view of strengthening skills and capacities and to promote education and awareness that contributes to the development of personality. Our team brought together researchers and practitioners in the fields of youth research, youth policy and youth work. The team members conducted their activities particularly in the framework of the Council of Europe (as members of the CoE Pool of Trainers’) and European Union in the three geographical dimensions: EU, EECA and Euro-Med. Thanks to personal practical experience of members of our group in conducting projects for young people with special needs (deaf, young people with mental and physical disabilities), as well as for young people from minorities (social, national, language and religious) and majority as a group of young people, we developed competencies not only on theoretical, but also on practical levels. Becoming member of the ALF network will enlarge our cooperation and will allow reaching much more beneficiaries in Euro-Med and partnership within the network.

Mission and Objectives

L’initiative Forum Culture(s) s’etait donné deux objectifs :

Au cours de l'année 2008, Forum Culture(s) a travaillé sur un texte de réflexion, le Manifeste pour un Pacte culturel, qui a constitué la base du Pacte culturel signé par les partis politiques le 6 décembre 2008 en vue des élections législatives de juin 2009.

General Information

The GrAFiTi Asbl is a non-profit organization that draws it's members from students and artistically engaged people of the Greater Region and beyond. The focus of our associations structure, as well as our actions lies on the four main cities of Luxembourg, Metz, Trier and Saarbrücken.

The associations budget is comprised in general of project-related fundraising, that covers our projects from our yearly theatre festival to our Erasmus+ project "Play Europe", amongst some other activities like workshops or cultural conferences and meet-ups. There is some small overhead for website and comms that we try to keep as small as possible. The festival as our main endeavour has an average budget of some 40.000€ a year, paid for almost in full by fundraising.

For funding of our projects, we work with the main cultural institutions of the Greater Regions, this being the ministries of culture of Saarland, Rheinland-Pfalz, Luxembourg and Grand-Est, the city network of QuattroPole, several university-related and other cultural funds. Some private sponsors have also funded our projects in the past. Ca. 70% of our budget stem from public funds.

For the last 2 1/2 years, we have undertaken an Erasmus+ Project with 5 partners from all over Europe, comprising 6 project implementations in 5 countries. Our theatre festival meanwhile has been our yearly flag-ship project since 2010. Our next project will be the "TAG Festival - Théâtre d'Automne de GrAFiTi", which is set to take place October 22-25. In the past, there have been other smaller ventures, like the organization of a cultural conference with FairTrade groups, several workshops revolving around theatre, as well as travels to our partners from all over Europe, such as Cambridge, Crakow, Córdoba, Marseille and others.

Perhaps our most important parnter in realizing our projects and our mission is the QuattroPole e.V. city network of Luxembourg, Metz, Trier and Saarbrücken. The ministries of culture of the Greater Region have also contributed in the shape of the Espace culturel de la Grande Region. Since our festival switches location between the above mentioned four cities each year, there are numerous changing partners on a regional and local level.

Mission and Objectives

The GrAFiTi Asbl has as it's mission the cultural exchange of young people, especially students across national borders, mainly in the Greater Region of Germany, France and Luxembourg. Through various cultural and artistic format, mainly a yearly international festival of theatre, we aim to connect students from the Greater Region and Europe with one another and give them a represenatitive platform to express themselves and their European identity on stage or in other artistic ways. The main edition in pursuit of this mission is our yearly festival of student theatre.

The GrAFiTi festival is a student initiative and considers itself a participatory forum for students‘ cultural expression at the universities of the Greater Region. The annual festival is organised cross-border in alternation and offers student ensembles a representative stage. GrAFiTi’s goal is to enhance the dialogue and exchange in this unique cultural space and to promote european citizenship in a playful manner.

Main Projects / Activities

- GrAFiTi - student theatre festival of the Greater Region (annually since 2010, in Metz, Trier, Luxembourg and Saarbrücken)
- "Play Europe" - Erasmus+ project in association with the European Union and 5 partners from different European cities (Luxembourg, Saarbrücken, Marseille, Córdoba, Crakow), set to end in early 2021

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Everyone working for and with GrAFiTi and our projects shares a love for connecting in some way, shape or form, with other people from different countries and cultural backgrounds. We have a well-established network of contact between students and young people, that exceeds even the Greater Region. Our efforts of organizing cultural and theatrical projects in Luxembourg and the Greater Region brings many young people to Luxembourg and other parts of the region. We thus encourage getting to know other countries, that are often right around the corner, we promote the learning and understanding of different cultural, countries and languages, and we provide some experience and knowledge in the frame-work of theatre, arts and culture, as well as the managing of related projects.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We feel that broadening our horizon, seeking and maintaining contact with organizations and people who share our values and our goals can only help us in our mission. We hope to mutually benefit from the connection to the ALF Network and its protagonists, visitors and projects.

General Information

There is no doubt that industrialization, alongside globalization and standardization have enhanced our quality of life, eased communication, and facilitated exchange. However, there is always two sides of a coin. The industrial revolution kick-started global warming, and globalization, together with colonialism and cultural imperialism, depleted our global cultural diversity and indigenous knowledge of sustainable practices.

At Intangible World Heritage Organization ASBL, we work on balancing this coin. We preserve the diversity of our global cultural legacy and technological heritage of sustainable practices, adapt them to bridge with modernity demands, promote cross-cultural communication, and remove barriers of exchange.

- Structure of the organization
3 board members (president, secretary, & treasurer)

- Budgetary resources available in a year
Project based (variable)

- Sources of funding:
Project based: University of Luxembourg, ESCH22

- Modalities of action (concrete projects, exchanges, seminars, scholarships etc.)
We work on two main pillars, those are arts and culture, as well as science and technology. We are currently involved in three main projects, those are ANASEA, BELONG, and MusAIc. Please see below for details.

- Main partners involved in the organization's projects/activities
National partners: University of Luxembourg, Esch22, CCSA ASBL, AACE ASBL, AEL ASBL
International partners: Egyptian Center for Culture and Arts, Egycom, Stockholm Sangeet, Sharda music Sweden

Mission and Objectives

We preserve the diversity of our global cultural legacy and technological heritage of sustainable practices, adapt them to bridge with modernity demands, promote cross-cultural communication, and remove barriers of exchange.

We aim to enrich accumulative knowledge by:
- Preserving and promoting the endangered intangible heritage
