The Biergerpakt is based on the Law of 23 August 2023 on intercultural living together, which entered into force on 1 January 2024.

This law defines intercultural living together as a participatory, dynamic and continuous process that enables every person living or working in Luxembourg to live, work and decide together.

Intercultural living together is based on mutual respect, tolerance, solidarity, social cohesion and commitment against racism and all forms of discrimination. It establishes diversity as a source of richness and strength for the development of an intercultural society (Article 1 of the Law of 23 August 2023 on intercultural living together).

The Gemengepakt is signed by a municipality. Through this process, a municipality commits to intercultural coexistence. The Gemengepakt is structured in thematic cycles, each of which takes place in several stages

Even if your municipality has signed the Gemengepakt, you are not automatically a member of the Biergerpakt. Joining the Biergerpakt is a personal step that each citizen must take individually. However, municipalities receive a subsidy for each resident or worker who has joined the Biergerpakt.
