This summer, for the 5th time in a row, young refugees that Caritas Luxembourg follows in its homes and services for refugees, had the opportunity, if they wished, to participate in educational projects.
About sixty young people between the ages of 16 and 25 volunteered to take part in these projects, supervised by educators and technical agents. Among young people, some of whom become bored during the school holidays due to their weak network of social contacts and lack of resources to organise outings. Others feel lost and need to be valued.
The educational projects of Caritas Luxembourg are offered in professional fields such as building work (painting, minor repairs ....), maintenance of green space, cleaning, moving and storage. As a result, while making their own living space and that of other refugees more pleasant, young people acquire professional skills that will be useful for their future, developing their manual skills, broaden their vocabulary, learn to work in a team, respect schedules and instructions, people and equipment. At the same time, they feel valued and grateful for this first professional experience.
