Participation opportunities
- Organisations can take part as hosts, opening their doors to teams of young people on Digital Challenge day.
- Secondary schools can become partners and promote the initiative to their pupils.
- Young people aged between 16 and 19 can take part in the Digital Challenge day.
Objectives
The aim is to work together to tackle the new challenges facing the future of employment and to provide the best possible support for the future of young people in search of meaning.
Impact
This gives young people the opportunity to increase their exchanges with companies and deepen their knowledge and skills in the fields of digital technology and sustainable development, in a professional context. Businesses, for their part, have plenty of time for discussion, so that they can better understand and adapt to the interactions and collaborations with the new generations.
The project has a strong societal impact. The participating organisations make a financial donation to CARE Luxembourg, which is used to finance humanitarian projects in Niger and Laos.
Target audience
- Luxembourg organisations wishing to host young people (companies, associations, NGOs, cultural and artistic establishments)
- Young people aged between 16 and 19 attending secondary school
- School education staff
