Details:

The LEILU project - Learning to be in the new environment - launched by the multi-LEARN Institute, is a holistic approach for youngsters in Luxembourg in 2016, aiming to promote the socio-cultural development of young people in Luxembourg, within the mateneen initiative financed by the Œuvre Nationale de Secours Grande-Duchesse Charlotte.

LEILU will hold an event in the form of a High Tea Debate on Thursday 3 May 2018 starting at 15.30 around the topic of refugee integration in the European host societies, at the Centre sociétaire de Bonnevoie (Room 1, @ 2 rue des Ardennes, L-1133 Luxembourg).

LEILU was launched in 2016, aiming to promote the socio-cultural development of young people (age: 15 – 30) in Luxembourg, focusing on, but not limited to persons requesting international protection and other vulnerable population. In line with the project’s 2017 activities and outcomes, e.g. Religious Tolerance, Visual Discovery of Luxembourg and Self-Discipline, the debate intends to bring together actors, stakeholders and the general public.

Following a brief presentation of the project outcomes and recommendations, the event will address, with guest speaker Christian Linker, critical writer and author of Der Schuss (2017) and Dschihad Calling (2017), issues often perceived as controversial and pertaining to belonging, addressing acceptance by the host society, possible radicalisation attitudes of newcomers and local residents, and the positioning and visibility of religious expressions in the public space.

The event, supported by Deutscher Verein Luxemburg, will be followed by tea time for convivial exchanges. Translations to and from German, English and French will be offered.
