Luxembourg: ESC: Die Kunterbunte: "Eine Zeitschrift von Kindern für Kinder"

Presentation of the programme

With the start of the 2026/27 school year, the Luxembourg Red Cross is placing a strong emphasis on non-formal education in its 16 Maisons Relais, which cater for circa 3,860 children aged between 3 and 12. Around 500 education professionals are committed every day to providing children with an environment in which they can freely develop their interests. Non-formal education, as practised in the Red Cross Maisons Relais, places the competent child at the centre of its concerns. ‘We see the child as a competent individual who is actively building his or her educational path. Our mission is to accompany them on this journey’. Our structures follow the concept of open workshops. In the Maisons Relais, there are different functional areas covering themes such as nature, rest, movement, media and construction. The children aare free to pursue their interests and use the spaces according to their needs. The educators play a central role in encouraging children to develop their own skills

About the leisure activities

We pick up the vol. from the train station or airport and accompany them to the apartment in Betzdorf. Once a week, the volunteer has an exchange with the supervisor, The supervisor accompanies the volunteer. During the first three weeks, observation placements are planned in early childhood institutions and with school-aged children. At the end of the first month ( October 2026), an official “kick-off” meeting will take place with the vol. and all contact persons from the different facilities. The vol. will spend 3 days with the graphic designer to gain insight into the different programs
