The National Student Conference of Luxembourg (CNEL) represents more than 40,000 students. The CNEL, through its delegates, represents all pupils in secondary education in Luxembourg. In a country known for its multiculturalism, it goes without saying that the school population reflects this reality and it is the same within the CNEL. It is the spokesperson of the students vis-a-vis the Ministry of Education and other education partners (teachers’ unions, parents associations, etc). The CNEL is composed of an official representative and one substitute from each high school and technical school. There are 41 permanent members (the number of high schools), aged between 12 and 19/20 years. The monthly meetings of the committee of the CNEL is a time where young delegates can discuss among themselves and with experts, on topics relevant to them, through working groups and presentations. In addition, members of the CNEL will pass the information gained from these meetings to their respective committees, and vice versa, committees can transmit their grievances to the CNEL. The day for the student committees is, meanwhile, a day dedicated to all the members of student committees of the 41 high schools, in which all young local representatives (468 students in total) will have the opportunity to obtain information on their rights and duties as a student committee and bring them into contact with people who can support them in achieving their missions throughout their term. Upon reflection, the delegates of the CNEL finally decided to organize not one, but four days of student committees at the regional level to enable committees of students in the same region, to better know each other. Another change was the number of participants in these four days. In order to use the most appropriate methodologies, as well as to offer a true space of exchange, the CNEL has opted to invite only half of the committee members of a region, which is equivalent to a maximum of 287 participants. The idea was, first of all, that half of the members, who attend these days, exchange themselves with their comrades in the committee on what they have learned during this event and that the other half of the Committee participates to the days of the students’ committees the following year. Recall that a student committee is elected for a term of two years. This method has the advantage of not overloading or bore young people through training every year Considering the magnitude of this structure and the influence it has on young people, an adequate guidance to train and prepare these young leaders, is essential. The main objectives are: a) to educate young people for democratic citizenship by providing them with skills that they will need throughout their lives and make them active and critical citizens, and b) enable us through networking and exchange, to publicize and promote the views of students in our country. The CNEL’s mission is more specifically to highlight the students’ needs and problems, support them during possible discord with teachers, and play the ombudsman in conflicts between students. Our young people need to develop skills and find tools to deal effectively with problem-solving in everyday student life. In addition, the CNEL is a major support group for the structured dialogue on youth. Indeed, by promoting a dialogue between young people, teachers and school administration, both in their school and with the Ministry and other national institutions, we can truly advise students, respond to their needs and demands, and address their grievances to people which are responsible to act in their interests. Students will not only attend, but really play a role in the planning of student life and contribute to the discussions which affect them directly. Moreover, considering that the CNEL must perform regular consultations under the European and national structured dialogue, it would be important to give the CNEL practical and intellectual means to carry out these consultations.
