DISCOVERING MACHINES AND TOOLS!
From July 16 to 18, 2025, the CNCI invites children aged 8 to 12 to experience a unique adventure in the heart of Luxembourg's industrial history with the second edition of the MINI SCHMELZ Summerschool.
For three days, young participants will explore historic industrial sites and discover the machinery used by miners and workers. They will learn the skills and trades involved in mining and ironmaking. To enhance the experience, a local artist will lead them each afternoon in creative workshops inspired by the industry.
An enriching and creative experience!
