European Year for Development

Young people
The launch of the European Year for Development in Luxembourg took place at the Athénée in Luxembourg with 120 students of the school in attendance. Some of these young people also attended the EYD closing ceremony.
Another particularly fruitful partnership was created last year with the Conférence Générale de la Jeunesse du Luxembourg (CGJL) and the Centre information Jeunes (CIJ) which resulted in the participation of the Directorate for Development Cooperation and the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Infrastructure in the debates at the Luxembourg Youth Parliament via a question and answer session on the Addis Ababa Financing for Development Conference, the Sustainable Development Goals and COP21. Romain Schneider, the Minister for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Action, also appeared before the plenary session of the Youth Parliament in October last year.
The Directorate for Development Cooperation was also one site of the 2015 “Rallye citoyen” devoted to the European Year for Development. This collaboration with the CGJL/CIJ enabled this particularly important target audience to be reached throughout the year.
