The SERVICE ENFANCE ETTELBRUCK amplifies the voice of Ettelbruck's children and brings together the city's educational actors and projects.

Ettelbruck's children's department ("Service Enfance") is a professional structure integrated into the city of Ettelbruck that aims to promote the positive development of the city's children.

Located at Beyserhaus, a building situated in Ettelbruck's primary school's yard, the new structure has three missions:

  • develop and support educational projects for Ettelbruck's children that encourage their active participation,
  • create a network of local educational actors that fosters local partnerships,
  • establish a presence in the city and increase the visibility of Ettelbruck's children.

A project dating back to 2021

Since 2021, the city of Ettelbruck has worked on bringing together individuals and institutions that work with Ettelbruck's children. Participatory workshops have helped consolidate existing resources and initiatives and identify the concerns and needs of the city's actors - and the new structure was born.

Since 2022, various projects have been developed for the children of Ettelbruck. Here is a selection:

  • Organisation of various workshops for children from the Ettelbruck primary school and Maison Relais, during which they developed "Ideas of Change" for the advancement of their town, school and Maison Relais & presentation of those ideas to politicians and educational players at the CAPE Ettelbruck
  • "Kannerrechter (er)liewen" ("living children's rights") project: organisation of various workshops for Ettelbruck's primary school children on their rights, as well as a big final show
  • "Kommunaal Netzwierktreffen" ("communal network meetings"): organisation of meetings bringing together Ettelbruck's educational players to discuss ways of more effectively involving the city's children
