Resumo: The organization is the umbrella organisation of youth organisations in Luxembourg, working with youth aged from 12-35 years. The organization has 27 member organisations, which are active in a great variety of different areas in the youth sector. The organization is an organisation of, for and by young people and gives youngsters the opportunity to voice their opinions and to raise common concerns.

The organizationis a privileged discussion partner towards the government and other official actors in decision-making and can as such do active lobbying for the opinions and interests of the luxembourgish youth.

We think that it is very important that young people keep voicing their perspectives and we want to make sure that they are heard and understood. One of the main objectives of the The organization is to increase participation of youth in society and in democratic life. To sustain this, the organization offers different thematic activities. In our eyes all participation is based on accurate information. This is why we try to give young people the opportunity to discuss specific subjects with experts and politicians.

Aware of the importance of intercultural exchange, which gives the opportunity to learn from other cultures and countries and to discover new perspectives, the organization puts, besides its work on national level, a lot of weight on the work with and for young people on European and international level. In the past years we’ve developed a variety of projects within different european programs and we see them as an important tool for our work.

In 2006 we first decided to start hosting two volunteers during the "All different - All equal" campaign, launched by the Council of Europe and coordinated in close partnership of the National Youth Service (SNJ) and the organization. This experience has helped us to improve and adapt the concept of our EVS-activities. Since that experience we have been hosting a volunteer every year.

We strongly believe that hosting volunteers from other countries contributes to the learning process of our organisation and to the development of new ideas and perspectives. The experiences we've had so far, not only affected the professional life of the staff of the organization, but have also touched it on a personal level.

Being the umbrella organisation of the Luxembourgish youth organisations, we would also like to act as a role model for our members by sharing our positive EVS-experience with them. We hope it gives them the taste and the necessary reassurance, to think about hosting an EVS as an interesting opportunity for their own organisation.
The organization is a non-governmental organisation, lead by an executive board and run by a fulltime staff of 6 employees: a director/coordinator, a secretary, an administrative person and three project officers. The director and one of the project officers in charge of the project “Structured Dialogue” will be in charge of closely framing the volunteer throughout the activity.
