The Minister thanked the institutional actors, associations and individuals, who participated in the study and who agreed to give their opinion: "I would like to express my gratitude and respect for having accepted to share your experience, your background, your knowledge and your expertise in this area.

The study is the result of a fruitful collaboration between the Department of Integration of the Ministry of Family Affairs, Integration and the Greater Region and researchers from LISER and CEFIS, who conducted the study.

Focusing on the main areas of residents' social life (employment, housing, health, school, education, public administration, etc.), the report reflects the reality of living together and integration in Luxembourg's de facto multicultural society, draws conclusions, proposes concrete ways of improving the situation and provides rich and in-depth material for reflection and action.

On the one hand, the quantitative survey carried out by LISER makes it possible to measure the perceptions of the resident population and its so-called minority groups. On the other hand, the qualitative survey carried out by CEFIS identifies the dominant perceptions of field actors and experts, directly or indirectly related to racism and discrimination in Luxembourg.

The next steps

Following the publication of the report in March 2022, the Ministry of Family Affairs, Integration and the Greater Region has already planned several actions:

  • May 2022: An AMIF call for projects on raising awareness of the general public on the fight against racism and ethno-racial stereotypes and training in intercultural sensitivity for professionals. Projects to be submitted by September, project launch in January 2023.
  • 8 June 2022: A three-hour training and awareness-raising module on diversity and non-discrimination for trainee municipal staff, in the context of the reform of their training during the trial period;
  • Before July 2022: Feedback on the results of the study: Interministerial Committee on Integration, Interministerial Committee on Human Rights, UNESCO Commission;
  • July 2022: An inventory of training and initiatives in the field of interculturality. Publication of the report in July ;
  • September-December 2022: A series of four conferences for the general public on racism and ethno-racial discrimination;
