From 27 to 31 October 2025, the fourth annual edition of the “Week of Democracy” took place across Luxembourgish high schools. EMN Luxembourg organised 4 workshops in 2 different high schools for 53 students.
On 28 October, two workshops on migration were organized at the Lycée Technique de Lallange, in which 38 students participated. The young audience was introduced to the topic of migration by reflecting on their own mobility, learning about Europe’s extensive migration history and discovering different definitions and migrant types, such as asylum seeker and refugee. In a second step, the students explored the Destination Europe learning tool, focusing on the aspect of labour migration, taking on the roles of different stakeholders and discovering the impact of their decisions for 3 migrant personas; Ahmed, Yasmine and Femi.
On 31 October, two members of the EMN Luxembourg team held Destination Europe sessions at the Lycée Technique d’Ettelbruck. Across the two workshops, 15 students discussed migration policies and their impacts while taking on the roles of different stakeholders on the EU, national and local level.
We would like to thank both schools for their excellent collaboration and their interest in the learning tool and are looking forward to discussing migration and policy decision-making with students in the future.
"Week of Democracy" in Luxembourg
The fourth Week of Democracy, launched in 2022 for secondary school pupils, took place from 27 to 31 October 2025.
By offering opportunities for reflection and participation at all levels of the education system, it helps to prepare children and young people to become responsible citizens who play an active part in strengthening democratic values.
A dedicated website has been set up for this year’s edition to optimise communication and provide teachers with centralised information about the various offerings.
