AutismConnect Luxembourg:
Building Inclusion
We shape an inclusive society together with and for autistic people.
We have signed the contract with the Ministry of Digitalisation. Now we can officially start our work! We are very happy to be able to develop the app ALBI for autistic people and their environment.
Ready to participate? We’ll see you in the focus groups!
We are developing an app for autistic people and their environment. It should enable an improved exchange of important and individual information. In addition, people should be supported well and quickly in everyday life! In this way, we are developing a competent and autism-friendly community together and everyone can contribute their knowledge, needs and skills.
What do we discuss in the focus groups?
- What barriers and challenges do you encounter in your daily life?
- What is missing in existing offerings / services related to autism and inclusion?
- What are important features for the ALBI app in your opinion?
- What colors and fonts do you find practical?
- Which operating system does your phone use?
- What do you expect from the volunteers who will support the SOS function?
How and when can I participate?
“Hey, you got a moment? Let’s apply with our project!”
That’s how it all started. Some intense days and long nights later we sent off the applications.
How it’s going? Starting in July 2023 this year we’ll start working on another project to unleash human potential.
Meet ALBI – AutismConnect Luxemburg: Building Inclusion. A digital application to create awareness, offer tools and support in challenging situations. For both autistic people and their social environment.
On June 13 2023 was the first official step to launch the project together with the ministry of digitalisation. Thanks for creating such an amazing opportunity to drive positive impact in Luxembourg 🙏
What is the project about? Watch our video!
ALBI was developed to achieve three objectives:
– Information and awareness raising on the topic of autism
– Developing a community and connecting autistic and non-autistic people
– Offering support to autistic people in challenging situations that are not adjusted to their needs

PRESS & COMMUNICATIONS
PRESS
Are you from the press and interested in our project or autism? Then please feel free to contact us so that together we can bring the topic and the app to the wider public, grow the community and enable people to get the support they need to live a dignified life with access to education, work and participation in society.
“We have read your description and find it super interesting and we would be very happy to support and collaborate with you!”
“That means you can become a volunteer for the app later? I would be interested in that.”
“I think the idea is simply ingenious. It will definitely work well. When it’s published, I’ll give this to my child. (…) I don’t know how the users will ever thank you enough for the support! Keep me posted on when the app comes into use.”
“I find your project super and inspiring. I don’t know if I am your direct target group, but I would be interested in learning more about volunteering with the ALBI project, to possibly help out.”
OUR PARTNERS
Inclusion does not happen by itself. It needs the cooperation of many contributors. Knowledge and competence are needed, as well as time and budget. Thanks to the call for projects from the Ministry of Digitalisation and the cooperation with competent partners, we now have many good resources to implement an ambitious large-scale project. List of partners follows.
