Through a grant from the European Commission, the Luxembourg Organization Committee created the possibility to invite from a large number of European countries four youth members -almost free of charge- to participate in the program "Youth in Action".
In addition to visiting the festival there will be organized workshops and other activities especially for them.
Participating countries
As far as now known there will be delegated four youth members from each of the following European countries:
Germany
Estonia
Luxembourg
The Netherlands
Slovakia
Sweden
The Czech Republic
Switzerland
And as a special guest one participant from Rwanda and one from Armenia.
Youth Coach
A youth coach will be appointed by each of the participating countries as acting guide for youth members from his or her country.
If during the "Youth in Action" programme a problem might arise, which cannot be solved on the spot by the youth members themselves or by the staff, then the youth coach may be contacted.
Stay in Luxembourg
The youth programme will take place in and around the "Centre de Jeunesse" in Eisenborn, a (very) small village about 15 km northeast of Luxembourg-City.
The "Centre" is a building of the Service National de la Jeunesse especially adapted to host groups of youth and that is widely used for youth exchange programmes and (film)-workshops.
A professional staff is present, which (along with some youth leaders) will run the programme.
During "Youth in Action" the Centre will entirely be at the disposal of the UNICA-youth participants.

Thanks to the subsidy from the European Commission, the costs for the youth participants are very limited:
