About

Who are we?

Mir wëllen iech ons Heemecht weisen 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. In our experience, cultural workshops and artistic expression have proven to be excellent vehicles to facilitate verbal and non-verbal communication amongst people from different backgrounds.

Ever since, we’ve collaborated with artists, musicians, dancers and other cultural actors. We are co-financed by the Ministry of Culture, foundations, and private donations. We commit to uphold the values and principles listed in the Ministry of Culture's Charter of Ethics, available here: Charte de déontologie pour les structures culturelles.

Theatre & artistic workshops

Artistic expression is a universal means to communicate, in which one can surpass limitations of language. With the support of local artists and actors, theatre and artistic workshops bring people together from various communities to express themselves non-verbally. No experience necessary!
