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

As summer festivals and nightlife events draw thousands across Luxembourg and Europe, growing concerns around needle spiking have prompted renewed calls for vigilance and education. Needle spiking refers to the act of injecting someone with a substance, often without their knowledge and in crowded settings such as concerts, nightclubs, or large gatherings. Although the motivations behind the phenomenon remains poorly understood, isolated reports continue to surface, including a high number of incidents during France’s Fête de la Musique and a recent case in Luxembourg. Authorities and harm-reduction organisations stress that while the actual number of confirmed cases remains low, the threat and the fear it generates are significant. The non-profit group PIPAPO, which promotes safety and well-being in nightlife settings, has been actively raising awareness and offering support at festivals and clubs. Their “Safer Night” initiative encourages partygoers to look out for one another, stick with friends, and rep

A thousand school children have been in rehearsals for months getting ready to take to the stage at the Luxembourg Philharmonie as part of the Lëtz sang! programme. They will be joining Tali for a multilingual concert with songs in Luxembourgish, French, German and English, including Tali's own song 'Dear Parents'. Tali has a background in teaching and has a deep passion for youth engagement. She talks about how excited she is for the collaboration, especially hearing a thousand voices joining her on stage. Having first performed at the Philharmonie as a teenager in a choir, Tali now returns as a professional artist, hoping to ignite a love of music in the next generation. “This might be their first time singing with an orchestra or standing on stage,” she shared. “Moments like these can shape a child’s dreams.” Although the performance is sold out, fans will have several opportunities to see Tali this summer. She is slated to open for Zoe Wees at this year’s EchterLive concert and will also appear at the

Nada Jelic and Nicolas Payet were the featured guests on the latest edition of the PwC People Pulse themed around international mobility, in particular where it concerns work. Nicholas, originally from France, and Nada, who transferred from PwC’s Belgrade office in Serbia, are among the many professionals who have chosen Luxembourg as their destination for personal and professional growth. PwC Luxembourg, home to over 4,000 employees, offers global mobility programmes that allow staff to explore opportunities abroad while gaining diverse experiences. For Nada, who relocated just six months ago, the choice was intentional. Drawn by the ability to work in English and Luxembourg’s close ties to her home office, she describes her transition as both challenging and rewarding. One of the biggest adjustments, she noted, was moving from a tightly-knit 300-person office to a much larger environment where connections take time to form. In contrast, Nicholas, who has been with PwC for nearly two decades, first moved
