Details: RIFF is a festival created in 2011. It started with 5 young people from different origins who found each other in Luxembourg searching for innovative ways to promote cultural diversity and bring people together, no matter their age or origin.

RIFF stands for Rocking Integration on Futuristic Festival and it is synonym of fun, creativity, imagination, networking, culture and integration. The main goal of this festival is to promote cultural diversity and integration through arts.

Ben Péporté and Irma Hadzalic were the forerunners of the project, but soon they invited other young people from different origins to be part of the team: Anne-Laure Gérard, Rita Alves and Ricardo Oliveira.  “We were bored and wanted to bring something new and fresh to Luxembourg”, explains Ben. “Living in a multicultural city is a unique experience that made us aware of the importance and need to building bridges between people from different backgrounds”, says Irma. “We wanted to shake Luxembourg and RIFF was born”.

And senses appeared to be the best way of reaching anyone. So, for the third year now, Riff Team is organizing its cooking and cinema workshops. The principle is simple: each evening has a country as a theme. In every workshop, people will have chance to learn how to cook typical dishes of certain region, they will see / hear music, dances, theatre and film about the countries involved. In a word, experience culture through all their senses.

Then, every year, to end the festival, Riff is doing a concert night, with bands from different countries.

Through all those activities, the aim of the young organisers is reached every time: connect people, represent different cultures and countries in a creative way, and promote art.

This year, Riff’s travels have already taken in Russia and Canada. But there are still few stopovers to come before the concert:

Ireland – 10 April

South Africa – 15 May

New Zealand – 18 June

They all take place at the Carré Rotondes, 1 rue de l’ Acierie, Luxembourg city. The journey starts at 18:30 with entry fee of €10. (The number of places is limited.)
