Lëtz Pack – Ecole Privée Fieldgen

Revenz – Lycée classique de Diekirch

“Luxembourg has a lot to offer, but too little is visible. Gastronomy, culture and events are abundant, but scattered information and outdated platforms make it difficult to find your way around. Especially for tourists and the more than 230,000 cross-border commuters who visit the country every day. For their part, service providers have little digital visibility and find it hard to reach their target audience. Revenz solves this problem. Our platform is free for all users and brings together gastronomy, events and culture in a centralised, clear and multilingual way. An interactive map and filters allow you to find targeted leisure offers”.

Unlike traditional volunteering, our model is based on fair remuneration, enabling them to supplement their pocket money, while raising awareness among young people of the value of community involvement”.
