On Friday 21 November 2025, Luxembourg’s Ministry of Gender Equality and Diversity announced that the new “megaLab” and the “Positive Actions” programme had teamed up for an initiative to promote more equal and inclusive workplaces that embrace diversity.
Around 800 young participants and more than 40 speakers participated in the new megaLab, formerly Rock de Rack, on Thursday 20 and Friday 21 November 2025.
The programme featured nineteen thematic workshops aimed at reflecting, experimenting and proposing concrete courses of action for a more inclusive society, as well as learning together and adjusting practices in order to build professional environments that are balanced, open and sustainable.
This initiative, led by the ministry, follows the work initially carried out by the Positive Actions programme, which has been supporting companies and organisations with implementing practices for several years.
One of the goals of this joint edition was to create a space for mutual exchange between the young participants and professionals and organisations.
During the Positive Actions ceremony, Yuriko Backes, Luxembourg’s Minister of Gender Equality and Diversity, recalled: “Equality can no longer be thought of in silos. It must become a collective reflex, a shared culture. By supporting companies, by engaging in dialogue with young people, by supporting administrations, we are weaving together a new framework: one of social progress based on cooperation rather than competition. Because an economy does not become stronger by excluding but by including. Because a society does not progress by levelling but by recognising differences as assets. This is the spirit of the combined megaLab and Positive Actions: uniting generations, professions and visions around a single motto: acting for equality and diversity in the world of work.”
During the official ceremony, Minister Backes awarded the “Positive Actions” label to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LuxSE), POST Luxembourg and POST Telecom, acknowledging their tangible commitments to equality and diversity in the workplace.
