**Weekly stand-up comedy open mic night, featuring short sets from multiple comedians. FREE ENTRY!** Every Thursday at 9pm at Updown Bar ! Free tickets https://www.eventbrite.com/e/comedy-open-mic-luxembourg-tickets-1216566646589?aff=ebdsshcopyurl&utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=

Il nous arrive d’entendre cette formule : nos politiques ne sont pas à la hauteur. C’est évident dans le cas de l’écologie, puisque rien ou si peu n’est fait par nos gouvernements pour enrayer la machine infernale. Mais leur responsabilité, tout comme celle des multinationales et du fameux 1 %, n’est (presque) plus à prouver. Il existe pourtant d’autres causes, plus discrètes, qui conduisent l’écologie politique à l’échec : celles qui s’enracinent dans son propre camp. Structurellement, l’écologie, fruit de l’environnementalisme, s’est constituée comme une cause des élites. Dès les années 1970, ses militants, les ONG et certains politiques ont fait d’elle un objet de lutte pour privilégiés, morcelable, négociable et, surtout, profitable. Et, ce faisant, ils et elles ont réduit la lutte à une mise en scène, une morale abstraite, éloignée des citoyens et des citoyennes. À l’heure où les extrêmes droites s’organisent partout pour imposer leurs mots d’ordre identitaires et sécuritaires dans l’agenda politique — au détriment des mesures d’intérêt général pour le climat et la biodiversité — et alors que le discours anti-écologiste (*green backlash*) est porté très haut dans l’espace public, il est temps de contre-attaquer. Loin de se limiter à un constat d’échec ou à une distribution de bons et mauvais points sur l’action du mouvement écologiste depuis 50 ans, Clément Sénéchal proposera des pistes de solution pour sortir de cette impasse. Solutions qui devront nécessairement passer par une repolitisation du discours écologique, intégrant la question du traitement des inégalités aussi bien dans les pays industrialisés que dans ceux du Sud global.  Clément Sénéchal est un intellectuel et militant français engagé dans les domaines de l’écologie politique et de la critique sociale. Diplômé en sociologie et en philosophie politique, il a occupé le poste de porte-parole climat au sein d’une grande ONG environnementale pendant plusieurs années. Il est également auteur et chroniqueur, contribuant régulièrement à des publications telles que Reporterre et Frustration Magazine.​ En 2024, il a publié l’essai *Pourquoi l’écologie perd toujours* aux éditions du Seuil (aujourd’hui disponible en poche ), dans lequel il analyse les raisons structurelles de l’échec des stratégies écologistes dominantes. Dans cet ouvrage, aujourd’hui disponible en poche, il critique notamment la proximité entre certaines ONG environnementales et les grandes entreprises, qu’il considère comme un facteur de dilution des luttes écologistes.​ Clément Sénéchal est également actif sur les réseaux sociaux, où il partage ses réflexions sur l’écologie, la politique et les mouvements sociaux. Son parcours illustre un engagement intellectuel et militant en faveur d’une transformation radicale des structures sociales pour répondre aux défis environnementaux contemporains. **Entrée libre** :Nous offrons s un repas (sandwich) et les boissons. **Il est par contre nécessaire de s’inscrire avant le lundi 23 mars** en envoyant un mail à lunchtalk@astm.lu en précisant si vous souhaitez un sandwich végétarien ou traditionnel.

Moving to a new city is exciting at first — a fresh start, new opportunities, a new chapter. But once things settle, being new in town can feel lonely.

Percival Everett writes a brilliant reimagining of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn told from the enslaved Jim's point of view. « When Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a man in New Orleans, separated from his wife and daughter forever, he runs away until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile, Huck has faked his own death to escape his violent father. As all readers of American literature know, thus begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mississippi River toward the elusive and unreliable promise of the Free States and beyond. » While known as "Jim" to his enslavers, James is a self-educated, articulate man who reclaims his name, "James". He is depicted as simple, credulous, and superstitious, but secretly more literate and erudite than most of the white people around him. 💡the book is available in Luxembourg librairies

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. If the weather cooperates we will be meeting in the patio. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.

We'll be discussing what warm weather events you'd like to see such as hiking, biking, kayacking, etc!

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM. It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!
