At PwC Luxembourg, diversity, equity, inclusion, and well-being (DEI&W) aren’t just buzzwords. Last week, staff gathered for “Diversity Day,” a flagship event highlighting the company’s evolving commitment to workplace culture that is open, inclusive, and supports worker's wellbeing. Organised largely by Gaia, a recent intern from Italy, the event brought together internal diversity networks including: Shine (LGBTQ+), Ability (disability and neurodiversity), LatAm (multicultural backgrounds), Women & Men (gender equity), and Generations (age inclusion). Held in PwC’s central atrium, the day featured interactive stands, games, and open conversations. For Marc, a partner with over 30 years at PwC, the DEI journey has been long but meaningful. “We’ve come a long way from only focusing on gender balance.

After a deadly train station collapse and ongoing government inaction, students have taken their message across Europe on foot. Maria came on the Breakfast Show to tell us more about this. The students running from Serbia to Brussels, Belgium are nearing the end of an 18-day, 1,500-kilometer ultramarathon in a dramatic protest against systemic corruption and democratic decline in their country. Over the weekend, they were greeted by a crowd of 200–300 supporters in Luxembourg, including members of the Serbian diaspora and local officials. The student movement began last November after the roof of a newly renovated train station in Novi Sad collapsed, killing 16 people. The tragedy, widely seen as the result of corruption and mismanagement, followed two school shootings in 2023 that had already shaken public confidence in Serbia’s institutions. “This was the tipping point,” said Maria, a protest supporter here in Luxembourg. “Young people are saying, ‘We don’t want to live in a country like this.’” What

Over 500 people are expected to take part in the Darkness Into Light walk this Saturday, as Luxembourg joins a global movement to raise awareness about suicide prevention and mental health. The event, which begins at 5 a.m. in Luxembourg City, invites participants to walk from darkness into sunrise as a symbolic gesture of hope and solidarity for those affected by suicide and mental health challenges. Louise and Claire joined the Breakfast Show to talk more about the event as it enters its 8th edition locally. Darkness Into Light originated in Ireland in 2009 and has since spread across five continents, drawing more than 150,000 participants worldwide each year. The Luxembourg edition continues to grow, with returning participants and new walkers of all ages, including families and young people volunteering as stewards. The walk is designed not only to show support for those impacted by suicide but also to reduce stigma and promote open conversations around mental health. This year’s event is held in partne
