Information providers / counselling structures
The web page enfancejeunesse.lu is the main Internet platform on non-formal education for young people. It provides comprehensive information about trainings offered by different institutions of non-formal education, relevant publications (e.g. pedagogical guidelines, legal basis) and includes an agenda with important events.
The National Youth Service is an important player, as it offers a number of training programmes and support in the field of non-formal learning. It operates a web page where information, publications and application forms for these offers are available.
The Youth Information is the nationwide contact point providing general information for young people on non-formal and informal learning opportunities. The organisation runs an office in the capital of Luxembourg where young people can find information on-site. Information is also provided in different youth centres and youth information points (JIP; Jugendinfopunkt) throughout the country. Additionally, the Youth Information runs a web page where comprehensive information on non-formal and informal learning opportunities can be found.
The Internet page volontaires.lu provides available information on voluntary services for both interested young people and volunteering organisations.
Awareness-raising initiatives
Information providers and counselling structures are in charge of raising awareness with regard to non-formal and informal learning and quality youth work (see: Information providers / counselling structures).
Furthermore, there are some publications on non-formal learning in out-of-school settings by the Ministry of Family and Integration together with the National Youth Service. These publications contain the definition, concepts, features and fields of action of non-formal education.
