Welcome to our next conversation exploring a theme that many international residents eventually start thinking about: **How to integrate and give back to Luxembourg?** Integration is not only about finding your place in a new country. At some point it also becomes about **contributing to the community around you.** • How do people successfully integrate into life in Luxembourg? • What opportunities does the country offer to international residents? • And how can we give something back to the society that welcomes us? Our next **LuxBuzz Integration Breakfast** will explore exactly these questions. The event is organised by **The LuxBuzz Academy ASBL** within the framework and with the support of the **Biergerpakt for Intercultural Living Together** **by MIFA** We are delighted to welcome our guest speaker **Lyndsay Whitby** - professional coach and founder of **SQ Coaching**. Lyndsay will share his personal journey of settling in Luxembourg, the experiences that shaped his integration and the lessons he learned along the way. From navigating expat environment to building his private business through meaningful connections, his story reflects the opportunities Luxembourg offers to those who are willing to engage with its community. During the conversation we will explore: • the key steps to integrating successfully in Luxembourg • the opportunities the country offers to international residents • the importance of networks and community • how residents can give back and contribute to Luxembourgish society 📅 **Date:** 24 April 2026 ⏰ **Time:** 09:00–10:30 📍 **Location:** The Office Charlotte Participation is limited in order to keep the discussion **dynamic and personal**. Please, register using this link https://biergerpakt.zesummeliewen.lu/calendrier/luxbuzz-integrationbreakfast-comment-sintegrer-et-contribuer-au-luxembourg/ Our Breakfasts are designed as a **friendly conversation in a small group**, where everyone can ask questions and share experiences - ☕ coffee, ideas and honest talks around integration. Let’s create the buzz together! 🐝🐝🐝 #LuxBuzzAcademy #IntegrationInLuxembourg #Biergerpakt #CommunityDialogue #GivingBack #LifelongLearning

Hi Everyone, this Friday's drinks are at Ziegels - as they write about themselves: *"With the move to the new location at Stockplatz, ZIEGELS was not only given a new central location right at the beginning of Trier's pedestrian zone - we also took the opportunity to retain the old atmosphere and the flair and charm of what "pub" is all about at ZIEGELS and to combine it with a modern-rustic style in "industrial design". Modern concept meets rustic "pub charm"!"* Sounds good to us - see you there! :-D

Join us in April for a cozy fantasy-horror-paranormal-mystery novel about a woman who flees her life to live in a tiny desert town in the US. *Goodreads summary* With only a few dollars to her name and her beloved dog Copper by her side, Selena flees her past in the city to claim her late aunt’s house in the desert town of Quartz Creek. The scorpions and spiders are better than what she left behind. Because in Quartz Creek, there’s a strange beauty to everything, from the landscape to new friends, and more blue sky than Selena’s ever seen. But something lurks beneath the surface. Like the desert gods and spirits lingering outside Selena’s house at night, keeping watch. Mostly benevolent, says her neighbor Grandma Billy. That doesn’t ease the prickly sense that one of them watches too closely and wants something from Selena she can’t begin to imagine. And when Selena’s search for answers leads her to journal entries that her aunt left behind, she discovers a sinister truth about her new home: It’s the haunting grounds of an ancient god known simply as “Snake-Eater,” who her late aunt made a promise to that remains unfulfilled. Snake-Eater has taken a liking to Selena, an obsession of sorts that turns sinister. And now that Selena is the new owner of his home, he’s hell-bent on collecting everything he’s owed.

Let’s meet in late April for a gentle, warm, and slightly unpredictable afternoon together.✨ As spring slowly unfolds, we often notice that certain thoughts keep returning, questions, ideas, small concerns, quiet curiosities, or reflections about life that don’t always find space in everyday conversations. This time, we’ll take a moment to explore: **What has been on your mind lately?** ☁️ Not everything needs to be fully clear or resolved. Sometimes it is enough to notice what is present and to hear how others experience their own inner worlds. ⭐ What to expect A small circle of open-minded people, with tea, coffee, or food in hand, sharing reflections, philosophy, psychology, or simply ideas and inspirations that arise naturally in the moment. The topic is gently suggested, and the conversation will flow organically. 🪄 We’ll explore the questions step by step, from light to deeper, in a roundtable format. For example: • What’s your name, where are you from, and what are you doing in Luxembourg? • What has been on your mind lately? • Is there a topic or question you find yourself returning to again and again? • Is this something new in your life, or something that has been present for a long time? • What makes this topic feel important for you right now? • Does this thought feel more exciting, heavy, confusing — or something else? • When this topic comes to your mind, do you usually want to act, understand, or simply observe? • Do you feel you already have clarity about it, or are you still exploring? • Is there something you wish you understood better about this topic? • Has anything recently influenced the way you see this topic? • If this topic evolved in a positive direction, what might feel different in your life? … and whatever else naturally emerges. There’s no pressure to share deeply…listening is just as welcome as speaking. ✨ 📌 Practical details 📍 Venue: Le Quai Steffen – Gare de Luxembourg | Restaurant 📅 Date: Sunday, April 26, 2026 ⏰ Time: 15:00 – 17:00 👥 Group size: Up to 12 people ☕ Food & drinks: Everyone orders and pays individually Since the topic invites reflection, the group will stay intentionally small. If you find that you can’t attend, please cancel your spot so someone else can join. If you enjoy authentic connection, gentle humour, openness to different perspectives, and curiosity about others — not just what they do, but how they see the world — you’re very welcome to join. 🫶
