À la conference consacrée à l’entrepreunariat féminin francophone, j’ai souligné l’importance de renforcer le rôle des femmes comme actrices du changement. Investir dans l’entrepreunariat féminin, c’est investir dans l’avenir et profite à notre société toute entière. @megaluxembourg.bsky.social

Felicitatiounen un den Eric Lamhene, deem säi beandrockende Film “Hors d'Haleine” an d'Oscar Preselektioun gaangen ass!

De Film dréit derzou bäi, dass mir dat wichtegt Thema vun der haislecher Gewalt enttabuiséieren, an de schroen Impakt vun der Gewalt weisen.

Traditional commemoration in remembrance of the LGBTIQ+ victims persecuted, tortured & killed by the Nazis. We need a culture of remembrance. So that history does not repeat itself. Let’s work together to combat hatred & violence in our society. #NeverAgain ! 📷 Alex Loos @megaluxembourg.bsky.social
