Participation of our "FÖJler" Philon Hagelberg in the workshop "Solidarity Project lab - Solidarity projects step by step" in Luxembourg
Date: 16. Feb. to 17. Feb. 2024
Place: Luxembourg
The workshop "Solidarity Project lab - Solidarity projects step by step" aimed to teach the participants basic concepts and techniques for a project that is to take place in their home town.
The workshop began with an introduction to the meaning of
- Solidarity
- Impact & sustainability
- Skills development & learning experience
- Inclusion & Participation
There was a lot of debate in the group, especially about solidarity - which actions are solidary.
Ultimately, it turned out that solidarity is difficult to define and depends on the individual.
The participants then worked on their idea individually with the help of the workshop leaders. The leaders gave the participants good feedback and guided them step by step through the project planning. Furthermore, the leaders taught the participants a lot about project management, including the financial part.
At the end of the workshop, the participants showed an increased motivation and capacity for the different aspects and methods of the project. There was also a deeper understanding of the idea of solidarity and its capacity. The participants now understood how to build the project step by step. The majority are motivated to apply what they have learnt in their environment.
The workshop "Solidarity projects step by step" was a great success and helped to strengthen the motivation and possibilities for realising the solidarity project.
