Youth engagement Lab

Organizator of the project: Coconutwork

The project will take place between 21-29.11.2022 in Weicherdange, Luxembourg.

Young people upload photos, videos, and stories on soсial media every day. These feeds are shared further and forwarded to thousands of people. In some сases, young people do not possess the sensitivity, сompetenсies, and skills needed to generate suсh media сontent, whiсh aссurately refleсts the events happening around them. They also сan сreate unintentionally fake and inappropriate news that сan lead to misinformation.Therefore, the overall goal of the projeсt ‘Youth Engagement Lab’ is to foster сommunity engagement of young people through new media teсhnologies.

Working language: English

Partcipant requirements:

4 participants + 1 goup leader

Participants profile

Age - between 18-25 (group leader preferably older than 23)

We are looking for young people who are interested in the topic, motivated, with a proactive attitude. A good command of English is not required to expand access to the greatest number of young people and is not required a previous experience. Instead, it is desirable that the leader has a good level of English and that he/she has gained some previous experience in projects Erasmus+, in order to ensure an expert figure able to guide and support their group throughout the whole process, from preparation to the end of the dissemination activities.

Gender balance: It is important that the participants’ selection process take into consideration also the gender equality criteria.

All participants (including group leaders) must be vaccinated against COVID-19 with a complete vaccination scheme or to hold proof that they had COVID-19 in the last six months.

Important info:

Accommodation, meals, and the program throughout the project are fully reimbursed according to the rules of the Erasmus + program through the project organizer.

Travel costs will be reimbursed to the participant.

Each participant is individually responsible for the planning and implementation of the trip. Extremely important: The participant is obliged to keep the travel document to and from the destination and hand it over / send it to the project organizer according to his instructions.

Reimbursement of travel costs will only be done upon full attendance of the program and presentation of all original (+return tickets) tickets, receipts, invoices, and boarding passes.

Insurance: Travel insurance is NOT paid by the participants or subsequently reimbursed. Each participant is obliged to take out health insurance, which is valid in Luxembourg
