The DAjEE ELO! Zesummeliewen Ouni Rassismus non-profit wants to support Luxembourg communes and their Intercultural Living Together Commissions – CCVEI – in setting up an effective living-together policy, focused above all on raising awareness of the problems of racism and discrimination. Our mission is to promote equality, diversity and intercultural living together by making citizens aware of the issues linked to racial discrimination. To do this, we offer communes and CCVEI advice, a set of educational projects, awareness workshops and community events aimed at creating an open and constructive dialogue, all year round, between the different cultures and communities living side by side in the communes.
We want to redefine a fair Luxembourg society, without racism or discrimination, through awareness.
The regional forums offer interactive workshops to develop a sense of belonging and identify concrete ways to strengthen it in local communities. CCVEI members, political representatives and municipal staff are invited to take part.
As part of the Intercultural Living Together Pact, the Commune of Clervaux is hosting an evening to share experiences and ideas and reflect on concrete actions to promote mutual respect, social cohesion and the fight against discrimination.

"United in diversity" has been Europe's motto since 2000. This motto describes how Europeans came together, by creating the European Union, to work for peace and prosperity, enriching themselves with the continent's diverse cultures, traditions and languages. Europe Day is an international day celebrated on 9 May in the member states of the European Union to commemorate the Schuman Declaration of 9 May 1950; this speech, delivered before the birth of the European Economic Community, is considered the founding text of the Union.
From light beige to very dark brown, there is an infinity of shades and skin colours. Giving skin-colour pencils to children shows a refusal to tolerate racism and discrimination, and aims to actively contribute to an inclusive society where diversity is valued. It lets children discover the value of diversity for themselves and helps parents, teachers and educators raise the new generation with diversity in mind, without passing on stereotypes.
A passionate and particularly effective team supporting communes in setting up a community without racism or discrimination.
My name is Alcinda Lopes. I was born in Luxembourg to Cape Verdean parents who have lived here for more than 50 years. I am a counter manager at POST Luxembourg, in charge of the northern region. I am also an elected municipal councillor in Schieren and chair of the local Living Together Commission. As a Luxembourg woman with an immigrant background, I have faced the realities of integration and diversity first-hand. That personal, on-the-ground experience motivated me to commit actively to a more inclusive society. In that continuity, I am a co-founder and treasurer of the DAJEE ELO! Zesummeliewen Ouni Rassismus non-profit, which works against ethno-racial discrimination and promotes intercultural dialogue in Luxembourg communes. Through concrete projects, we want to contribute to a respectful, supportive and lasting way of living together.
My name is Caty Diop. I am French of Senegalese origin and have lived in Luxembourg for about fifteen years. I like to say I am from here and from there. I am a mother of three children who grew up in Luxembourg and are from here. I have worked in the social field for about ten years and was a project manager promoting living together at Caritas Luxembourg and then at HUT-Hëllef Um Terrain. I therefore have a particular sensitivity for everything concerning cultural and social diversity, and the problems of racism and discrimination. I am Secretary of my commune's Intercultural Living Together Commission and a member of the Conseil Supérieur du Vivre ensemble Interculturel. Wanting to go further in the actions I wish to carry out, I am a founding member and president of the DAJEE ELO! Zesummeliewen Ouni Rassismus association. My calling? A dream... the dream of a life where we no longer need an association to raise awareness of living together without racism or discrimination.
