L’ASTM et le CITIM,, ont le plaisir de vous inviter à une conférence intitulée : ### «Enseigner en 2026 : mission impossible face à des publics dont l'attention est de plus en plus volatile ? » Jeudi 18 juin à 12h30 à L’Altrimenti (Salle Rheinsheim) 5 avenue Marie-Thérèse, Luxembourg Centre (Plan d’accès [ici](https://map.geoportail.lu/addresses/Luxembourg/Avenue%20Marie-Th%C3%A9r%C3%A8se/5/?lang=fr)) Alors que les algorithmes de recommandation saturent notre quotidien, tant privé que professionnel, les études convergent : la "guerre de l’attention" fragilise nos facultés de concentration et favorise l’apathie. Si ce phénomène nous touche tous, il est particulièrement délétère pour les jeunes, dont le cerveau est encore en plein développement. Pourtant, rien n'est une fatalité. Des méthodes de transmission existent pour reconquérir ce précieux "temps de cerveau disponible". Jean Lou Fourquet, spécialiste de ces enjeux, nous proposera des pistes pour réinsuffler le goût de l’apprentissage et apprendre à apprivoiser la frustration nécessaire à tout effort intellectuel. Au-delà du savoir pur, il s'agit de remettre au centre de l'éducation des valeurs de solidarité, de sobriété et de lenteur, en opposition au culte de l'immédiateté et de l'individualisme. Avec l'intervention de : Jean-Lou Fourquet, formateur et co-auteur de l’ouvrage [La dictature des algorithmes](https://www.tallandier.com/livre/la-dictature-des-algorithmes/) co-écrit avec Lê Nguyên Hoang, qui analyse comment les algorithmes de recommandation favorisent les contenus clivants et sensationnels et comment nous pouvons bâtir un système de recommandation favorable à l’intérêt général.

⚡ **Circle** by **AI & Coffee — Luxembourg's In-Person AI Community** AI is moving faster than any of us can keep up with alone.

Hello Friends! This time, we're going to explore a forest I've seen many times from the balcony of a dear friend during his legendary house parties, and I've always wondered whether there's a good hiking trail. Today I looked that place up, and indeed, there's one: Bertrange Autopedestre. No idea whether it's a new AP or whether I just did not see it before, but let's check it out, hiking boots on the ground! 🥾🥾 I've added an experimental part, to get to an adequate distance. After around 8km, there is a spot that looks suitable for our lunch break. 8km, Beatrice, not before! **Meeting Point:** We will meet near the bus stop "City Concorde", in Bertrange/Helfent, and we will start right after the bus arrives. https://maps.app.goo.gl/Lug56zn6Ywy8zEYc9 **Public Transport:** You can take Bus 6 from "Hamilius", leaving at 10:36, towards "Bertrange Gemeng". **Carpool:** If you can offer a seat or look for one, here's the link to the carpool: https://groupcarpool.com/t/sy9f4d There should be plenty of parking available on the City Concorde parking lot. **Please note:** It's tick season. Be careful, use some repellent product, and check yourself after the hike. As usual, the hike is at your own risk, and please take enough water for yourself. Looking forward to hiking with you! Jens

**Bloody Immigrant - Stand Up Comedy Show by Krzysia Balinska** Tickets https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bloody-immigrant-i-standup-comedy-show-by-krzysia-balinska-tickets-1989175465364 Start summer feeling good and watch Krzysia Balinska in her debut English comedy solo! After sold outs in Stuttgart, and in Berlin, Bloody Immigrant is taking off and coming to Luxembourg! Krzysia’s comedy is deeply observational as she figures out her life in Germany, fearless in speaking truth to power, sprinkled with a generous amount of warmth and a little off the wall. Come and laugh at stories about finding yourself at the crossroads of multiple cultures, reflecting on the oh-so-stable world we live in and being a cheeky little shit. Enjoy Krzysia’s charm in her sharing stories of love, sex and relationships where the endless ritual of trial and error is performed. There will be a wonderful opening act from Luxembourg's finest Ceren Tosun and audience's sweetheart MC Ken Park. If all we have is laughing together, then we have it all together, right? Door opens: 6:30pm Show start: 7pm **Headliner bio :** Krzysia is Polish by way of Great Britain and performed internationally from London South Bank Centre to Tokyo Comedy Bar. She has opened for Bengt Washburn (Comedy Central, Dry Bar Comedy), Elena Gabrielle (Top Secret London), Dima Watermelon (Gotham Comedy Club, Comedy Store) and Thomas Henry (The Comedy Cellar, Comedy Store). She prefers riots to diets unless the diet is exclusively croissants. **Opening Act** Ceren is a Turkish comic and one of Luxembourg’s rising stars, chronicling the chaos of singlehood in her thirties, where her relationship status refreshes every 24 to 48 hours. Her comedy dives into expat struggles, working life, and the absurdities of trying to settle down abroad. A former alcoholic who traded bottles for marathons, she brings a dark, cynical edge to the stage that’s as strong as a double espresso.

One room. Different cultures. Different stories.

Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
