Settling in Luxembourg involves much more than just finding a place to live or a job. It also means discovering a new environment, building a network, understanding the country’s customs and finding your place within an international and particularly dynamic community such as Luxembourg’s. To mark the Spuerkeess x Paperjam Expat City Rally, which will bring together more than 3,000 participants in the streets of the capital on 9 July, three event partners share their views on welcoming newcomers.

How does the China Cultural Centre contribute to strengthening cultural exchanges between China and Luxembourg?

China Cultural Center – “The China Cultural Centre in Luxembourg strengthens cultural exchanges by creating opportunities for people to experience Chinese culture in an authentic and engaging way. Throughout the year, we work closely with local institutions, schools and communities to organise exhibitions, concerts, workshops, festivals and tourism events that showcase the richness and diversity of Chinese culture. We believe cultural exchange is most meaningful when people actively participate, discover shared values and build lasting connections through dialogue, curiosity and mutual understanding.”

Luxembourg is a highly international country. What role does Luxair play in facilitating mobility and connections for this community?

Luxair – “In a country as international as Luxembourg, connections matter every day - for work, family, friendships, and holidays. Luxair helps make these connections easier for people living in Luxembourg and the Greater Region, with direct flights to more than 100 destinations in Europe and beyond. Whether it is travelling for business, visiting family back home, welcoming relatives and friends to Luxembourg or discovering new places from here, Luxair connects people with the places and communities that matter to them.

At the same time, Luxair continues to invest in quality. As part of its major fleet renewal programme, new aircraft are gradually joining the fleet, bringing passengers quieter cabins, modern interiors, and enhanced onboard comfort.

As a full-service airline, Luxair offers a more complete travel experience from the start: essentials such as cabin luggage and onboard catering are already part of the journey, so passengers know what they are getting when they book.

With Luxairtours packages, customers can travel with extra peace of mind: flight, hotel and selected services are taken care of in one package. They also benefit from carefully selected hotels, flexibility and local support from the Luxairtours team if assistance is needed.

Our multinational teams are used to welcoming customers from many different backgrounds and making them feel at ease when they travel.”

As a partner of the Expat City Rally, why was it important for My Ways to support an event that encourages people to discover Luxembourg and connect with other residents?

My Ways – “The Expat City Rally perfectly reflects our vision: discovering Luxembourg, creating meaningful connections, and embracing a more modern way of moving around. It is a great opportunity to showcase the innovative and sustainable mobility solutions available today, while helping newcomers make the most of their experience in Luxembourg from day one. By supporting this event, we also contribute to the integration of new residents and encourage them to explore the country in a different way.”
