***The LuxBuzz Integration Breakfasts are back - New 2026 Series*** **Dear community,** We are happy to announce the return of the **LuxBuzz Integration Breakfasts** - a new series of warm, informal morning conversations designed to make life in Luxembourg easier to understand and navigate. We begin with a topic that touches everyone who arrives in this country: **Education, Languages and Integration in Luxembourg** For many newcomers, building a life here means learning how the system works and especially how languages shape everyday experience. · Which language should you focus on? · How does the education system function? · And how do these elements influence your integration journey? This first Breakfast is an opportunity to explore these questions together openly and without pressure. **Our guest speaker** We are delighted to welcome **Lorraine Duong**, foreign language educator and audiovisual project manager at the Institut de formation de l’Éducation nationale (IFEN). Lorraine brings a unique perspective combining: * deep knowledge of the Luxembourg education system * practical experience supporting language learners * and a genuine passion for helping people integrate with confidence **☕ What to expect** * a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere * practical insights you can actually use * space to ask your own questions * meaningful conversations with others navigating a similar journey **📍 Event details** **Date:** 27 March 2026 **Time:** 09:00 – 10:30 **Location:** The Office Charlotte, Luxembourg Participation is limited to keep the discussion personal and dynamic. This initiative is organised by **The LuxBuzz Academy ASBL** within the framework of the **Biergerpakt for Intercultural Living Together by MIFA**. We are grateful for their support in making these community moments possible. If you are navigating life in Luxembourg or simply curious to understand it better - we would be very happy to welcome you.

**Our April novel is: *The Hong Kong Widow* by Kristen Loesch** **This month’s novel blends gothic atmosphere with historical fiction and chilling horror, set against the haunting backdrop of China. The book is 368 pages in print and 10 hours and 42 minutes on audiobook.** In 1950s Hong Kong, Mei is a young refugee of the Chinese Communist revolution struggling to put her past in Shanghai behind her. When she receives a shocking invitation—to take part in a competition in one of the city's most notorious haunted houses, pitting six spirit mediums against one another in a series of six séances over six nights, until a single winner emerges—she has every reason to refuse. Except that the hostess, a former Shanghainese silent film star, is none other than the wife of the man who once destroyed Mei’s entire life. It is promised the winner will receive a fortune, but there is only one prize Mei wants: revenge. Decades later, the final night of that competition has become an infamous urban legend: The police were called to the scene of a brutal massacre but found no evidence, dismissing it as a collective hallucination. Mei knows what she saw, but now someone else is convinced they know what she did. She must uncover the truth about the last night she ever spent in that house—even if the ghosts of her past are waiting for her there. . . .
