Biergerpakt
The Biergerpakt (citizen's pact) is open to anyone of legal age who lives or works in Luxembourg. It gives me access to the intercultural living together programme.
My registration for the Biergerpakt is voluntary. By joining it, I actively participate in intercultural living together in Luxembourg. Through the Biergerpakt, I discover Luxembourg, its languages, customs, values, associations and much more!
I have already joined the Biergerpakt. Now I can get started with the intercultural living together programme. Here is what to expect from the programme:
Intercultural living together programme
The intercultural living together programme is free of charge and gives me access to three introductory modules to life in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and to a catalog of individual modules (or advanced modules) on key topics of living together in Luxembourg.
Introductory
modules
The Intercultural Living Together programme consists of the following three introductory modules:
- Orientation Day: a day to help me find my way around daily life in Luxembourg.
- Language Module: this module enables me to learn the country's languages.
- Discovering the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg: I get a first overview of the country, its history and customs.
→ Important information: The completion of the three introductory modules is taken into consideration, under certain conditions, for an application to obtain long-term resident status and for an application to acquire Luxembourg nationality by option.
Individual
modules
I also have access to a catalogue of individual modules. In this catalogue, I can choose from a wide range of courses and activities according to my personal situation, needs and interests. The catalogue will be further developed over time and includes the following areas, among others:
- Language learning and practice
- Civic engagement and active participation
- Understanding administrative procedures
- Combating racism and all forms of discrimination
- Discovering Luxembourg's values and the range of social, economic, political and cultural activities
- Learn more about life in Luxembourg, its history and cultural heritage
... and much more!
"Welcome to Luxembourg" module
I have just arrived in Luxembourg and I do not yet have the language skills to participate in the introductory modules of the Biergerpakt. However, I would like to find out more about life in Luxembourg.
→ I can sign up for the "Welcome to Luxembourg" module.
→ Important information: This module is offered to adults residing or working in Luxembourg and is aimed primarily at applicants and beneficiaries of international protection and beneficiaries of temporary protection.
Module duration: 6 hours
Language(s): French (easy), English
Intercultural living
together
On 1st January 2024, the law of 23 August 2023 on intercultural living together came into force.
Intercultural living together is a participative, dynamic and continuous process that enables everyone living or working in Luxembourg to live, work and decide together.
It is based on mutual respect, tolerance, solidarity, social cohesion and the fight against racism and all forms of discrimination. It establishes diversity as an asset for the development of an intercultural society. (*Art. 1: Law of 23 August 2023 on intercultural living together)
