Mirabel and Natalie from LUCA (Luxembourg Center for Architecture) joined the Breakfast Show to discuss Lisières Vivantes (Living Thresholds), a thought-provoking new exhibition examining how humans, animals, and plants coexist in urban environments. Now open at LUCA, the exhibition invites visitors to reimagine cityscapes not solely as spaces for human activity, but as dynamic ecosystems shared with non-human life. Through projects from the fields of architecture, urban planning and the visual arts, Lisières Vivantes explores how built environments can support biodiversity and promote coexistence. The exhibition highlights urban thresholds, like walls, gardens, and green belts, as vital zones of interaction between human and non-human species. One example focuses on the city’s stone fortification walls, which have become vertical gardens, sheltering insects, birds and plant life. These intersections, Natalie explained, represent mutual territory that challenge the traditional separation between the built

Pride isn’t just a celebration, it’s a reminder that visibility, allyship and inclusion matter all year round. That was the message from Rose Cano Ruiz and Nicolas Sarrons, two PwC Luxembourg employees and active members of Shine, the firm’s LGBTQ+ network. As Pride Week swept through Luxembourg, Rose and Nicholas joined PwC People Pulse on the Breakfast Show to talk about what Pride means to them, how Shine is making a difference, and why inclusion in the workplace is more than just a nice-to-have... it’s essential. Both Rose and Nicholas started their careers at PwC as interns. Today, Rose works full-time in internal communications after recently landing a promotion and Nicholas is a senior tax advisor. But beyond the day jobs, both are deeply involved in shaping a more inclusive workplace. For Nicholas, inclusion was non-negotiable from the start. “When I was applying for jobs, it was important to find a company that wasn’t just neutral about LGBTQ+ rights, but actively supportive,” he explained. “That’s

Amnesty International Luxembourg has renewed calls for the government to take decisive action on human rights issues, both internationally and domestically. In an open letter titled “18 Months of Silence. What Now?” Amnesty, along with over 50 other NGOs, urged Luxembourg to recognise the State of Palestine and advocate for the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement due to alleged human rights violations in Gaza. The letter, timed ahead of an EU-level discussion in June, reflected widespread concern from civil society, with support from groups like Jewish Calling for Peace and a strong response from artists, former politicians, and cultural figures. Although Luxembourg has joined a coalition of EU countries pressing for more assertive diplomatic action, it has stopped short of backing a full suspension of the agreement. This is what Amnesty continues to campaign for ahead of the next international meeting on July 15. In addition to international advocacy, Amnesty Luxembourg has expressed deep con

Europe is a road tripper’s dream. Whether you're cruising through the snow capped Alps, winding through Tuscany, sun drenched wine yards or following the coastal cliffs of the Cote d'Azur, the scenery is nothing short of breathtaking. No two routes are ever the same, and that's what makes it so magical. But if you want to keep that magic alive without unexpected roadblocks or fines, there's one thing you'll need to sort out before you hit the gas. Motorway vinettes. These little stickers are your key to accessing Europe's most iconic roads, and without them, your trip could take a detour into headache territory. Fortunately, it's easier than you think, especially if you pass by the ACL or give us a call. Not only can we sell you the right sticker, but we'll also explain exactly how to place it on your windshield. Yep, even that part has rules. Misplace the sticker and you could be facing fines even if you bought the right one. Trust us, this happens more often than you'll think. So let's break down what you
