After the organisers of the event met with government representatives, they concluded to set up a number of afternoon discussion rounds with students at several schools. A total of 5 are planned, the first of which took place on Wednesday.

The first meeting took place at the Forum Campus Geesseknäppchen and students from various schools had the opportunity to present their ideas and put forward proposals for more sustainable policies to three ministers: Carole Dieschbourg, Claude Meisch and Romain Schneider. They discussed the themes of "environment", "climate", "agriculture" and "education" in different workshops and sought solutions together. After two hours, students presented concrete steps that they would take.

In total, 5 afternoons of discussions are planned. The next ones will take place in Diekirch, Luxembourg City, Grevenmacher and Dudelange.

On March 15, young people marched for the "Youth for Climate" protest. The next climate demonstration "Fridays for Future" will take place on 24 May, two days before the European elections.
