contents This paper aims to extend to Orlicz-Sobolev spaces some results of integral representation for the simultaneous homogenization and dimensional reduction of integral energies defined on fields taking values on a differentiable manifold. Since our functional framework goes beyond the classical Sobolev's spaces, we also prove, via $Γ$-convergence, a general integral representation results in the unconstrained Orlicz setting. Due to $Δ_2$ and $\nabla_2$ conditions verified by the Young function $Φ$ (which modulated the growth behaviour), we prove that the density of the $Γ$-limit is a tangential quasiconvex integrand represented by a cell formula.
