Who We Are
Alternative Wee was born from lived experience — from the quiet challenges of starting over in a new country, and the strength it takes to rebuild a life from unfamiliar ground.
We know what it’s like to arrive in a place where everything feels different — the language, the system, the expectations — and still hold on to the hope that something better is possible. That hope carried us forward, and it continues to guide the work we do today.
At our core, we are people who have walked the same uncertain paths as the young adults we now support. We’ve felt the weight of not knowing where to turn or how to begin. That’s why we created a space that offers more than just answers — a space built on understanding, respect, and belief in each person’s potential.
Alternative Wee is not just an association. It’s a promise — to walk alongside young migrants as they shape their own stories, with guidance, clarity, and the courage to keep going.
“Every journey deserves direction. We’re here to walk alongside those finding their way.”
Our Mission
At Alternative Wee, our mission is to empower young adult migrants aged 18 to 25 on their educational journey by making it easier to access information, navigate school systems, and explore real opportunities — in Luxembourg and beyond.
Integration means being understood, supported, and equipped to make informed decisions in a new environment.
That’s why we walk alongside young people at every step — offering guidance, clarity, and motivation. With the right tools and encouragement, we believe each of them can thrive and build a future they’re truly proud of.
