Yasmin Labidi of Transition Minett asbl joined the Breakfast Show to talk about their organisation and the third edition of the Festival of Citizens in Transition. Transition Minett asbl started in 2011, bringing citizens together who wanted to start a community garden, now called "Breedewee". The city of Esch-sur-Alzette could support them in creating a citizen-led space to meet, talk and implement ecological solutions together. This year, 15 partners team up with Transition Minett asbl to organize the Festival of Citizens in Transition on Saturday June 29th (with a bat observation event in the evening on June 28th at the Garden Bredewee), with 16 different events scattered around Esch and with a treasure hunt!

Once upon a time in the magical land of Luxembourg, there was a linguistic wizard named Radio Luxembourg, who spoke in tongues that echoed far beyond the realm of English. NOT to be mistaken for RTL, that came in the picture much later👆 Picture this: back in 1933, when wireless telegraphs were cutting-edge and pet rocks were still a thing, Radio Luxembourg decided to grace the UK and Ireland with its presence. The radio itself started a few years earlier, and then they decided to add English to the equation. It was a rebel with a cause, thumbing its nose at British legislation that said, "Oi, BBC, you've got a monopoly on this radio business, and no advertising shenanigans allowed!" But fear not, for Radio Luxembourg was here to provide a loophole, a secret passage through the airwaves. Find out more at www.bourgmeisterin.com!

Once upon a time in Luxembourg City, there stood a majestic fortress of knowledge known as the Lycée de Garçons de Luxembourg, which translates to the Luxembourg Boys' High School for those who prefer their education served with a side of English😁 Nestled in the charming Limpertsberg quarter, this academic haven has been shaping young minds since who knows when (well, me, I actually know since when – since 1824😅).

Ah, the tale of Théodore-Charles-Joseph, baron de Gargan, one of the owners of the Villa Vauban back in the day, a gentleman of exquisite vintage hailing from the quaint town of Inglange, Moselle, where life was a potpourri of fine wine and cheese. Born on August 9, 1791, his earthly journey concluded with a final flourish on November 6, 1853. Why is his persona important for Luxembourg? Well, apart from the villa ownership fact, he was one of the first mining heralds – the sphere where Luxembourg made a bank on after his time. So you could say he was ahead of the curve, and figured way too early what would build a legacy (or a fat bank account, but those are technicalities😅). Find out more at www.bourgmeisterin.com!
