Luxemburg

Our Common Future aims to enhance democratic participation, in particular of young people, by giving them  the means to express themselves through modern media and communication channels. During our projects, participants are provided with access to communities, networks, and policy makers, that shall allow them to gather in depth information and footage on the issue at hand. Participants can initiate their own topics, and Our Common Future aims to evolve into a worldwide participation platform, designed to strengthen democratic decision-making processes. We put particular focus on documentary film-making and involve professionals in that field to teach participants fundamental and expert elements of this medium, including  journalist skills,  research, interview techniques, camera, sound, and more.

The main objectives of the Association include: Raise awareness among the Luxembourgish population about the importance of diversity in politics and the benefits it brings to society as a whole. Encourage citizens, especially foreign ones, to actively engage in politics as candidates or voters, by facilitating their access to information on the political system and helping them overcome linguistic and cultural barriers. Work in collaboration with political parties, public institutions and civil society organizations to promote a more diverse and inclusive political representation, by supporting the implementation of concrete measures such as quotas or mentoring programs. Organize events, visits to the Parliament/Chamber of Deputies and other institutions, training sessions, a political leadership academy, awareness campaigns such as "Let's demystify politics!", in order to encourage debate and reflection on diversity issues in politics, and to promote fair and inclusive electoral practices. Collaborate with the media and civil society actors to highlight the successes and challenges of candidates from diverse backgrounds, and to raise public awareness about the importance of their representation within political institutions. ​ Furthermore, the association "Politics for all" also aims to promote European identity and values within Luxembourgish society. This is reflected by: Organizing awareness and education actions on the fundamental principles of the European Union, such as democracy, human rights, solidarity, and cultural diversity, in order to strengthen the sense of European belonging among citizens and residents of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Encouraging active participation of Luxembourgish citizens in the decision-making processes of the European Union, by informing them about the functioning of European institutions and encouraging them to express their voice in European debates. Promoting exchanges and partnerships with European organizations and transnational initiatives, in order to foster intercultural dialogue, cooperation, and mutual understanding among European peoples. Highlighting the successes and good practices of European policies that contribute to the well-being and prosperity of Luxembourgish citizens, to emphasize the concrete benefits of EU membership. Actively participating in initiatives promoting European identity, by organizing events and specific activities to celebrate the cultural and linguistic diversity of Europe and strengthen the sense of European pride among the Luxembourgish population.

Access to information without language barriers is essential for everyone, the pandemic and the war in Ukraine has shown us that no small community should be forgotten. There are volunteers who currently work on our multilingual show project and we have identified others who are willing to work with us, alongside Ryse and Passerell asbl on this new Podcast Project. We will create an Outreach Platform where we host small 3.5-minute podcasts in different languages. Each podcast offers bitesize accurate information that will help vulnerable people understand and navigate the situation they find themselves in and where they are in the legal process. We believe the access to accurate information will alleviate much of the stress and misunderstanding that occurs, in this way alleviating potential tensions that may arise for society. Much of the development within Radio ARA in the past years has been due to changes in Luxembourg as a society, and it is important to recognise the support we have received from Oeuvre and the important work we have achieved since the first the Salaam Show, then through the addition of the multilingual shows is extremely important and valued by many in Luxembourg. Our integration projects have been pivotal in stabilising and solidifying Radio ARA’s role as a community radio for all in Luxembourg.
