In June this year we organised a film workshop in collaboration with the Am Sand School in Niederanven. The workshop was an additional part of the large-scale MASTERPLANG AM SAND project, in which all the children from the primary school were able to contribute their ideas for the redesign of the Am Sand area. Under the direction of Mireille Di Tullo, Veronique Kohnen and youth4planet Luxembourg workshop leader Tobias Hewer, 12 selected pupils were supported in three consecutive workshop sessions to translate the best ideas from the collected ideas into a film and illustrate their ideas for the public. The movie will also be submitted to this year’s LDE-Engagementspräis of the Foundation Zentrum fir politesch Bildung.

“In my view, the Masterplan Am Sand project has impressively demonstrated how genuine participation by children can be realised in practice at municipal level. We wish all the pupils at the school the best of luck for the Engagementspräis and, even more importantly, that their perspectives are taken into account as part of the construction work at Am Sand in Niederanven!” (Tobias Hewer)
