The Association Luxembourgeoise pour le Dialogue Interculturel (ALDIC) has announced the launch of its new initiative, “MindArt Boost”, supported by the Fondation André Losch.
This thirteen-month project, running from December 2024 to December 2025, aims to provide resources and opportunities for young people to improve their mental well-being through creative arts and sports.
Promoting Mental Well-Being Through Creativity and Sports
MindArt Boost will organise five interactive workshops centred on stress and emotion management. These workshops will incorporate creative activities such as dance, music, drawing and painting alongside sports practices like yoga, pilates and other physical exercises. By combining these approaches, the project seeks to help participants develop skills for managing stress and emotions in a supportive environment.
In addition to the workshops, ALDIC will provide individual coaching to participants and conduct a social media awareness campaign to reduce stigma around mental health and encourage open conversations. The initiative aims to contribute positively to the mental well-being of young people by equipping them with practical tools for daily life.
Workshops for a Broad Audience
MindArt Boost is open to young individuals aged fifteen to 30, including those from diverse ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds, such as refugees, students, pupils and asylum seekers living in Luxembourg. Workshops will be conducted in either French or English and are limited to 20 participants per session. According to ALDIC: “Our workshops will go beyond verbal activities, encouraging creativity through painting, drawing, dance, and music. The aim is to help young people express their thoughts, stress, and emotions through art, fostering alternative and liberating modes of expression”.
