On Wednesday 23 September 2026, the Municipality of Niederanven announced that the “Artists for Mental Health – Concerts with Commentary” event will take place at the “A Schommesch” Multipurpose Centre in Oberanven at 20:00 on Saturday 10 October 2026.
The concert will serve as the flagship event of the fifth edition of Mental Wellbeing Weeks, taking place from Monday 5 to Monday 26 October 2026. For the first time, the initiative will have an intermunicipal dimension, with the municipalities of Betzdorf, Junglinster and Niederanven joining forces in partnership with CNAPA and the Luxembourg League for Mental Hygiene.
Held under the slogan “We all carry baggage; together, let us move forward more lightly”, the fifth edition forms part of the national Mental Health Weeks 2026. The programme will include conferences, workshops, training courses, film screenings, creative activities and opportunities to meet. According to the municipality, these activities aim to “improve understanding of mental disorders, encourage dialogue, strengthen public awareness and combat the prejudices and stigma that still surround mental illness”.
The Mental Wellbeing Weeks programme will notably include:
- mental health first aid training in Luxembourgish, French and English, as well as for adolescents;
- a conference followed by a round-table discussion on menopause and puberty;
- a workshop dedicated to understanding depression;
- creative workshops such as watercolour painting;
- intergenerational activities encouraging exchanges;
- a screening of the film The Intouchables;
- sports and outdoor activities, including walks and a canine gathering at Groussebësch in Niederanven;
- an evening dedicated to mental health in sport, with a screening of the film Strong.
The main event on Saturday 10 October will bring together Luxembourg-based artists Eva Marija, Maz Univerze, Nicool, Ninon, Lata Gouveia, Josh Island, Daniel Balthasar, Pink-Knife, Blame Emeraude and Krick.
According to the organisers, the artists will share their musical worlds while addressing the topic of mental wellbeing. Through musical performances interspersed with testimonies and discussions, the public will be invited to discover how art and music can contribute to expressing emotions, dialogue and strengthening mental health.
