Mir wëllen iech ons Heemecht weisen is a grassroots NGO that was founded in 2015 when a large number of refugees suddenly arrived in Luxembourg. Initially a volunteer-led initiative, a program of intercultural activities quickly emerged to support refugees’ cultural integration and to create opportunities to meet locals. We create activities that foster inter-cultural dialogue between refugees and residents of Luxembourg through the arts. we have 3 employees who work closely to the board of directors, most of our funding comes from the Ministry of Culture but we also have private donors. We do monthly "soties culturels" to local arts performances as well as cooking or dancing ateliers. Some of our partners include many local artists, the Ville de Luxembourg, Ministry of Culture, Croix-Rouge, Caritas, MUDAM; CAPE, Esch Theatre and others.Mission and Objectives
