Luxembourg Network

The Anna Lindh Network of Luxembourg and the Greater Region currently welcomes around 30 Member Organisations from within and around Luxembourg. Members consist primarily of associations and civil society organisations active in the fields of intercultural dialogue, culture, active citizenship, youth, inclusion, and informal education. The network also includes high schools, educational foundations, and institutions founded by municipalities.

The network meets around every two months, organising capacity building events for civil society, intercultural public dialogues, transnational cooperation projects, youth exchanges, and cultural events. Members mutually support one another in their activities and design new joint projects in the field of intercultural dialogue. Members also aim to strengthen cooperation between all networks of the Anna Lindh Foundation by designing and implementing projects which benefit from transnational cooperation.

L’histoire de votre réseau

neimënster (Centre Culturel de Rencontre Abbaye de Neumünster) has been the Head of Network since 2009, when it was first appointed by the Luxembourg Ministry of Culture. Since then, the cultural centre has been re-elected by its members every three years. In 2017, the association Our Common Future was elected as head of network acting in cooperation with neimënster.

The Luxembourgish network has always been a small network, gathering around 10 members who work closely together on a variety of projects including cultural weeks, youth exchanges, forums, conferences, theatre plays and more.

General Information

I am an entrepreneur. I am the founder of Luxembourg School of Contemporary Etiquette. I work in collaboration with coaches and trainers from Luxembourg, Belgium, France, the Netherlands.

Main source of funding - earnings and personal savings. The project is no yet on a full go, a yearly budget is very modest. This year I am looking for funding from local and international organisations to support in development of my project

Mission and Objectives

The initial idea of my school is to educate people in mutually beneficial ways of communications and building relationships based on the most important principle - respect. My project is now developing and currently I have created a Youtube channel to present influencers from Luxembourg to the world. It's a cultural & educational project . The goal is to promote diverse international community of great people from various countries and cultures living and working in Luxembourg .

Main Projects / Activities

My project is now developing and currently I have created a Youtube channel to present influencers from Luxembourg to the world. It's a cultural & educational project . The goal is to promote diverse international community of great people from various countries and cultures living and working in Luxembourg .

A few video interviews are already produced and published. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCm7U8NAsCA9nfDY8gZkDjA/playlists?view…

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

By creating video interviews with influencers living and working in Luxembourg for my Lux Etiquette & Service cafe YouTube channel, I aim to courage, support and inspire people by great examples of diversity and inclusion presented through true live stories of my guests.

In the form of a conversation we exchange ideas on real serious questions the answer to which could be very burning and practical for the audience. My guests are representatives of a local multinational community. By sharing their opinions, they raise such valuable issues as tolerance, self confidence, ways of enlarging our perspectives, defining our individuality, speeding up personal development, supporting vulnerable people.

Some of the topics of such interviews could be pluralism, cultural diversity, mutual respect between societies, religions and beliefs, rule of law and fundamental freedoms. Influencers are invited from various areas - education, politics, religion, etc.

The format of visual art helps making the idea sharing process accessible for people locally and globally as the world is becoming smaller now. Sharing videos on YouTube and other social media allows to cover great international audience.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

I want to be of help to the community and direct my efforts to the right direction. I support and share the main principles of ALF Network. It allows me to think that my ideas might also be of use for this community.
