Discriminatory stereotypes and preconceived ideas are unconsciously passed on to new generations. There is still a lot to be done in terms of raising awareness in many contexts.<br \/>\nThe problem is well illustrated by the example of the pink &#8220;Hautfaarw&#8221; pencil: for a long time, only one shade was designated as &#8220;skin colour&#8221; in our children&#8217;s coloured pencil boxes, namely a light pink. This designation is common in Luxembourgish and in many other languages (for example, &#8220;Skin Tone\/Colour&#8221; in English). However, from light beige to very dark brown, there are an infinite number of skin tones and colours. So language is already setting a standard that excludes many people. Many children cannot realistically draw themselves, their friends or their parents with a single pencil declared as their skin colour.

Children and families take part in this tradition full of light, songs, and conviviality, symbolizing both the end of winter and the approaching spring. Of pre-Christian origin, this tradition \u2013 known in French as Chandeleur \u2013 conveys universal values such as sharing, conviviality, and intergenerational encounters, and is well suited to being developed as an intercultural practice.<\/p>\n<p>During \u201cLiichtm\u00ebssdag,\u201d children go from door to door, sing a song, and receive in return kind words, smiles, and small gifts such as sweets or money. This practice contributes both to welcoming people into the local community and to fostering intercultural encounters within neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cIntercultural Liichtm\u00ebssdag\u201d aims to raise awareness of this tradition among newcomers and to encourage participation from everyone, regardless of culture or generation. Through simple actions, it is possible to revive this custom in neighborhoods where it is sometimes fading due to a lack of information or initiative among neighbors.<\/p>\n<p>This good practice is intended for citizens, municipal committees, and municipal professionals who wish to revive this cultural practice while emphasizing its intercultural aspects.

Every inhabitant, every person with or without a commitment to an association or organization, has talents, skills or desires to share.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t                                        <div>\n                            <h3>Objectives<\/h3>\n\t                        <ul>\n<li>To strengthen social cohesion and intercultural and intergenerational exchanges.<\/li>\n<li>To combat isolation.<\/li>\n<li>Empower and actively involve residents.<\/li>\n<li>To encourage voluntary work and civic participation.<\/li>\n<li>Encouraging and supporting residents to offer all kinds of voluntary activities.<\/li>\n<li>Facilitating meetings and exchanges between old and new residents of the community, between Luxembourgers and foreigners, and between young and old.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n                    <div class=\"download-pdf\">\n\t                    [nectar_btn size=\"large\" open_new_tab=\"true\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\tbutton_style=\"regular\" button_color_2=\"Accent-Color\" solid_text_color_override=\"#054055\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\ticon_family=\"none\" text=\"Download pdf\" url=\"https:\/\/gemengen.zesummeliewen.lu\/en\/best-practice\/third-place\/\"]                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"post-image\">\n\t                <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/gemengen.zesummeliewen.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_1517-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"best practices intercultural living-together volunteering intercultural encounters third place \u00d4PEN Junglinster\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gemengen.zesummeliewen.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_1517-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/gemengen.zesummeliewen.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_1517-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gemengen.zesummeliewen.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_1517-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gemengen.zesummeliewen.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_1517-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gemengen.zesummeliewen.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_1517-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gemengen.zesummeliewen.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_1517-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\n\t                                        <div class=\"copyright\">\u00a9 MFAMIGR<\/div>\n\t                \n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\t        <div class=\"popup\" style=\"display: none\" data-practice-id=\"3800\">\n            <div class=\"backdrop\"><\/div>\n            <div class=\"grid\">\n                <a href=\"#\" class=\"close-popup\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Close Icon\"\n                         src=\"https:\/\/gemengen.zesummeliewen.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/salient-child\/includes\/mfi\/best-practices\/assets\/img\/close.png\">\n                <\/a>\n                <div class=\"left-side\">\n\n                    <div class=\"title\"><h2>Training for municipal agents \u2013 micro-aggressions<\/h2><\/div>\n\n                    <div><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Managing diversity in the workplace requires a set of skills from team members. Learning these skills is particularly important for municipal agents in order to improve the service they offer to citizens, as well as to make the municipality an employer of choice for everyone. One of the steps is to raise awareness of micro-aggressions that can occur intentionally or unintentionally in the day-to-day life of a team. This training focuses on the definition of micro-aggressions and its examples in the workplace, the different types of micro-aggressions (micro-aggressions, micro-insults, and micro-invalidations) and the difference between micro-aggressions and harassment. Participants can learn about the physiological impact of (long-term) micro-aggressions on a person, and to make the difference between the intention of an act and the impact of that act. In this way, team members are made aware of the power games that can take place in the workplace and learn how to respond assertively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t                                        <div>\n                            <h3>Objectives<\/h3>\n\t                        <ul>\n<li>To understand the concept of micro-aggressions (in the workplace) and their impact;<\/li>\n<li>Prevent micro-aggressions in everyday work life in order to improve the work climate;<\/li>\n<li>Promote more benevolent communication in the workplace;<\/li>\n<li>Understand how to act and react to micro-aggressions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n                    <div class=\"download-pdf\">\n\t                    [nectar_btn size=\"large\" open_new_tab=\"true\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\tbutton_style=\"regular\" button_color_2=\"Accent-Color\" solid_text_color_override=\"#054055\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\ticon_family=\"none\" text=\"Download pdf\" url=\"https:\/\/gemengen.zesummeliewen.lu\/en\/best-practice\/training-micro-aggressions-in-the-workplace\/\"]                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"post-image\">\n\t                <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/gemengen.zesummeliewen.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/jason-goodman-Oalh2MojUuk-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gemengen.zesummeliewen.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/jason-goodman-Oalh2MojUuk-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/gemengen.zesummeliewen.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/jason-goodman-Oalh2MojUuk-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gemengen.zesummeliewen.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/jason-goodman-Oalh2MojUuk-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gemengen.zesummeliewen.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/jason-goodman-Oalh2MojUuk-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gemengen.zesummeliewen.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/jason-goodman-Oalh2MojUuk-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gemengen.zesummeliewen.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/jason-goodman-Oalh2MojUuk-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/gemengen.zesummeliewen.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/jason-goodman-Oalh2MojUuk-unsplash-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\n\t                \n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\t        <div class=\"popup\" style=\"display: none\" data-practice-id=\"2075\">\n            <div class=\"backdrop\"><\/div>\n            <div class=\"grid\">\n                <a href=\"#\" class=\"close-popup\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Close Icon\"\n                         src=\"https:\/\/gemengen.zesummeliewen.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/salient-child\/includes\/mfi\/best-practices\/assets\/img\/close.png\">\n                <\/a>\n                <div class=\"left-side\">\n\n                    <div class=\"title\"><h2>Welcome brochure<\/h2><\/div>\n\n                    <div><p>A welcome brochure is an essential form of communication between the local authority and its residents &#8211; particularly newcomers.
