New technologies in support of creativity and innovation

The national strategy in new technologies, the Digital (4) Education initiative, and the BEE CREATIVE programme are key elements for empowering young people’s creativity. Digital (4) Education enables students to develop the skills necessary for responsible ICT use and promotes innovative pedagogical projects using digital tools in schools. The BEE CREATIVE programme aims to (1) teach young people to create with technical tools and new media (digital literacy) and (2) foster creativity, talents, and entrepreneurship in the context of ICTs.

Further initiatives encourage creative use of new technologies. The Digital Sciences project follows early initiatives like Lux Tech School, CodeStart and Coding4Kids, introducing secondary school students to six pillars: communication with machines, the internet, data management, games (analog & digital), robots & programming, and artificial intelligence. In 2024/25, this course has been implemented in all secondary schools. The program leverages expertise from Bee Secure (SNJ), the Center for Political Education (ZPB), and the Luxembourg Centre for Educational Testing (LUCET). Students develop computational thinking, digital literacy, and problem-solving skills, enabling them to respond to ecological, societal, and technological challenges. The course will be continuously reassessed to remain aligned with emerging digital realities.

Facilitating access to culture through new technologies

New technologies are being used more often to attract young people's interest in culture, the arts and the sciences. Information on cultural opportunities are disseminated online (see: 8.4 Promoting culture and cultural participation), and cultural offers can even be used online (such as audiovisual material from the National Audiovisual Centre or digital media from the National Library).
