Ensemble pour un Avenir Juste

Why This Project Matters

Context:

The Fondation Chrétiens pour le Sahel is the lead organization of the Ensemble pour un Avenir Juste (Together for a Just Future) Consortium. The consortium brings together the NGOs Guiden a Scouten fir ENG Welt, Iwwerliewen fir bedreete Volleker, and E.D.I. Madagascar. These organizations are active in several countries, including Senegal, Togo, Madagascar, and Burkina Faso, working in areas such as education, water supply, sanitation, agroecology and community development.

The program aims to contribute to the emergence of a more just, inclusive, and sustainable society in Luxembourg by strengthening citizens’ capacity to take action in response to today’s social, environmental, and climate challenges. It seeks to connect local and global realities, promote the diversity of knowledge systems, and encourage mutual learning between stakeholders from the Global North and the Global South.

The consortium is founded on the observation that many people are aware of global issues but face challenges in turning this awareness into meaningful and lasting engagement. The program adopts a participatory approach that links global challenges to everyday realities. It values diverse forms of knowledge, encourages intercultural dialogue, and fosters exchanges between stakeholders in Luxembourg and partners in the Global South in order to jointly develop responses to social, environmental, and climate challenges.

Expected Changes:

The program contributes to three long-term changes:

• Citizens are better informed, more critical-minded, and more actively engaged in promoting a society that is fairer, more sustainable, and more inclusive.
• An educational and scientific ecosystem is mobilized to experiment with, transmit, and disseminate diverse forms of knowledge.
• Institutions and organizations are actively engaged in societal transformation and the advancement of global justice.

Main activities:

The program encompasses a wide range of activities, including:

• Educational workshops on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the right to education, food system transition, and sustainable consumption
• Intercultural exchanges between young people in Luxembourg and in partner countries of the Global South
• Awareness-raising campaigns on major social, environmental, and climate issues
• Events such as conferences, photographic exhibitions, creative workshops, and citizen festivals
• Support for micro-projects and citizen-led initiatives carried out by young people, schools, and community groups
• Training sessions for teachers, educators, and other multipliers to strengthen the integration of Global Citizenship Education into their practices
• Networking and dialogue platforms bringing together civil society, educational, institutional, and economic stakeholders
• Research, knowledge capitalization, and dissemination activities aimed at enriching public debate and strengthening practices across the sector
