Halloween 2018 in the stable

by SocialYouth

Again this year: Halloween in the stable! Here is all the info and BIG NEWS. There are actually 2 celebrations this year, and you have to register. But be careful: the celebration from 5 pm is already full (since 4.12.), so there is a WAITING LIST. There is still enough space for the celebration at 6:30 p.m. Here it goes directly to the registration: REGISTRATION How are we doing in the stable? Rediscover the flair of Christmas: a small Christmas evening with music, stories and a prayer, designed by Linda and Paul, with music by Joss, for all those who – like to experience the atmosphere of Christmas – are prevented from family during the day and have a little time in the evening – want to experience something different, very original, in a stable with the animals, similar to how it might have really been back then – look forward to very beautiful music WHAT’S NEW THIS YEAR? – We will have 2 celebrations (one at 17:00 and one at 18:30), and we can admit a maximum of 100 people for each celebration. – VERY IMPORTANT: YOU MUST REGISTER! Here is the site: http://paulgalles.wixsite.com/hellegowend When we have reached 100 registrations, we will put you on the waiting list and let you know. Important information: – Where it is exactly: in Fischbæch at 6, rue Grande-Duchesse Charlotte (7430 Fischbæch) – Where to park: 2 options: either at the top behind the church or at the entrance from the direction of Miersch – Language: Luxembourgish (but all languages are welcome) – What’s left after the “Veillée”: mulled wine and warm milk straight from the cow, organic and fairly milked! Our proposal: you bring your own cup, then we stay sustainable. If you don’t have one, get a mug from us anyway.

My work in the city council

by PoliticsYouth

Since December 4, 2017, I am a councilor in the city council, in the faction of the CSV. I’m having a lot of fun, I’m discovering a lot of new things, and it’s also a lot of work. The elections of October 8, 2017 went very well for us, and after a lot of commitment, a lot of contact with the people and with a great program, we won 2 seats and were able to join the coalition with the DP. Here you can find the results of the elections: https://elections.public.lu/fr/elections-communales/2017/resultats/communes/luxembourg.html made me happy, which is also a great burden and responsibility. Thank you for the great trust! In the municipal meetings, I commit myself above all to all social issues, to participation and youth, to clubs and sports, to schools and sustainability. It is important to me that I try to be humble and listen a lot, to take everyone’s positions seriously, to add a lot of new information to the files, to deal with that information responsibly and intelligently and to put my emphasis more and more. I am very fortunate to belong to a faction that I experience as dynamic, open, rejuvenated and motivated. Serge Wilmes as First Alderman and Isabel Wiseler-Lima and Laurent Mosar as further members of the Aldermen represent our interests in a strong way. Our group speaker, Maurice Bauer, prepared the way for us in the new tasks and made the process very easy for us. I sit on the municipal council between Claudine Konsbrück and Elisabeth Margue, where I can look over their shoulder a lot and we can exchange a lot. Here you can see our faction: https://stad.csv.lu/fr/partei/gemengerot/ In the commissions I can be president of “sports et loisirs” and vice-president of the social commission. In addition, I am still on the school committee. In this context, it is very important to get to know the individual services and understand their priorities. I also represent our community in the syndicate of SIDOR. We have a lot of fun when we meet people in the city directly: at inaugurations, visits, visits, etc. For me it is also a very special big egg that I am allowed to marry people in the city as a municipal councillor. There I come into contact with many families and get to talk a lot about their expectations and experiences with the city.

Young Caritas in Armenia

by PoliticsYouth

Every summer at Young Caritas we organize European “Youth exchanges” with Erasmus plus. This summer we were in Armenia, where many refugees from Syria are arriving. They are the descendants of those Armenians who fled to Syria after the genocide in 1915. Here are some photos of this awesome project on our Facebook page.

Economic forum of young leaders 2017

by PoliticsSocialYouth

At the beginning of September I was a guest on a panel at the «Economic forum of young leaders 2017» in Novy Sącz in Poland. This forum is world famous as «Davos for young people» and gathers 400 committed young people. I was able to tell them about my experiences, how to get people excited about something and take them seriously. Above all, I met many interesting people and realized how much joy the young people take their responsibility seriously.
