First Prize at UNICEF Luxembourg’s #NetEleng Lycée-Edition!
What is the #NetEleng competition?
It’s part of UNICEF Luxembourg’s #NetEleng initiative (“You’re not alone”) focused on youth mental health in the school context. The Lycée-Edition competition invites secondary students - supported by teachers and/or SePAS/SSE - to pitch an innovative action idea in a short video that helps reduce school pressure and/or strengthens wellbeing, togetherness, and connection at school.
Five students from our S4 English class saw the call to make student voices heard-especially around feeling less alone in class. In their free time, they created a short film from start to finish: they wrote the script, developed the ideas, filmed, and edited the final video.
Their project turns student voice into two practical classroom tools:
The NetEleng Class Talk Box
A simple, anonymous way to share thoughts, ideas, concerns, or questions—anytime. Once a week, submissions are brought into a structured class discussion. This is not about grades or pressure; it’s about realizing you’re not alone with what you’re thinking.
The NetEleng Fidget Box
A set of discreet tools available in the classroom for moments of stress or nervousness—so students can regulate, refocus, and feel supported.
The team won €750 to produce these boxes for Lënster Lycée International School secondary classes. Implementation is coming soon: NetEleng Class Talk Boxes and NetEleng Fidget Boxes will be rolled out in close collaboration with the students- because it’s their idea, and their voice.
Bravo to the group for the dedication—and for turning our school pillars into real action: caring for others and their mental health, creating ideas that connect people, and choosing connection instead of staying alone.
Bravo also to Lycée Classique Diekirch and Atert-Lycée Redange
