The municipality signed the “Pakt vum Zesummeliewen” on the 5th July 2021. The “Pakt vum Zesummeliewen” was presented at a kick-off meeting on the 27th October 2021. Accordingly,a steering committee was set up.

The municipality of Junglinster already had a number of good practices in terms of intercultural living together before signing the PvZ (City App, interactive map on their website, HOPLR Neighbourhood Application), a review of the current situation has highlighted additional areas of interest.

Two meetings were held on the 13th March and on the 25th April 2022 where the steering committee decided to prioritise the topic of “Encounters”. In doing so, the committee followed the wishes of the municipality's residents, who had expressed their support for more public spaces in the awareness-raising letter that was send in beforehand. The topic of "Encounters" was deliberately kept open in order to have as much freedom as possible in the discussions about potential meeting places in the municipality of Junglinster.

34 participants attended the citizens' workshop on the 18th June 2022 in order to exchange ideas about meeting places in the municipality of Junglinster. Using maps, citizens were able to indicate the places where they usually meet their fellow citizens. This methodology helped to identify meeting hubs in the municipality. A number of concrete ideas were then put together and presented to the steering committee.
