Three new national action plans to promote an inclusive society
The Luxembourg government is adopting three national action plans to promote social inclusion, all led by the Ministry of Family, Solidarity and Living Together. The plans are expected to address the needs of the wider population, including migrants, who remain an important focus of national inclusion policies.
The National action plan to combat poverty aims to reduce poverty and social exclusion through measures supporting income, essential services, education, and employment, including for migrants who may face additional barriers. The National action plan against discrimination and racism sets out measures to prevent and address discrimination, with particular attention on protecting vulnerable groups. The Plan on living together aims to strengthen social cohesion and intercultural dialogue, promoting civic participation and mutual understanding among all residents.
New toolbox helps municipalities to tackle racism
The Ministry of family, solidarity, living together and hospitality, in collaboration with the Association de Soutien aux Travailleurs Immigrés (ASTI) and the Association Luxembourgeoise pour le Dialogue Interculturel (ALDIC), developed a dedicated anti-racist toolbox for Luxembourg’s municipalities.
The toolbox offers a concrete, comprehensive guide to combatting racism at the local level, providing clear, accessible information and actionable strategies to promote respect and tolerance. It guides municipalities through four key phases: informing themselves, questioning their practices, training their teams and taking practical action.
The Biergerpakt: A voluntary commitment to an inclusive society
On 20 September the Biergerpakt Orientation Day brought together 659 participants at the European Convention Centre in Luxembourg to advance a more inclusive, connected city. The event featured interactive workshops on social entrepreneurship, volunteering, combating discrimination, and fostering political participation, providing practical tools for community engagement and active citizenship.
The Biergerpakt is a voluntary citizens’ pact introduced by the 2023 law on intercultural living together. It invites adults living or working in Luxembourg to commit to promoting intercultural living. Migrant signatories can access the programme’s free modules on life in Luxembourg, languages, civic participation, cultural norms, and administrative procedures.
