On 30 May, we had the pleasure of participating in the Festival des Territoires Résilients, organised by Iwwerliewen in Differdange.
The festival brought together citizens, associations, researchers, artists and community initiatives around a shared question:
➡️ How can we build more resilient, sustainable and connected communities for the future?
The event aimed to create connections, showcase local initiatives and spark new collaborations across Luxembourg and beyond.
Engineers without borders Luxembourg set up a stand to present our mission and vision. Through interactive and playful activities such as a quiz on women in engineering and a lemon battery experiment we engaged visitors and sparked conversations with the crowd.
🚲 One of the highlights of the day was presenting our Smoothie Bike project 👇
Through a simple but engaging activity, participants could power a blender with their own energy to make a fresh smoothie, creating a fun and tangible way to start conversations about sustainability, energy, health, and active lifestyles. The project sparked curiosity among visitors of all ages and opened the door to many meaningful discussions about how small actions can contribute to a more sustainable future.
For us, it was a valuable opportunity to meet members of the public, share our organisation’s work and projects, exchange ideas with other inspiring organisations, and strengthen our network of people working towards positive social and environmental change.
The other highlight was seeing former member Max Schmit and Andrea Varas present the latest developments of their project, Edward Farm. It’s always inspiring to see community members turn ideas into action and create new initiatives that contribute to a more resilient future.
A big thank you to the team at Iwwerliewen for organising such a meaningful event and creating a space where citizens and organisations can come together, learn from one another, and explore new possibilities for collaboration.
