“With UA Days in Luxembourg, we open a door to Ukraine’s living culture – its music, film, art and cuisine – so that people of Luxembourg and the visitors could meet Ukrainians not only as headlines from the front, but as partners in ideas and imagination,” shares Inna Yaremenko, Vice‑President of LUkraine asbl. “Every concert ticket, every film screening, every gathering is a small act of solidarity that strengthens Europe’s shared democratic fabric. We invite everyone to come, listen and celebrate with us, because when cultures talk to each other, societies stand together.”
The festival is supported by the City of Luxembourg, Œuvre Nationale de Secours Grande-Duchesse Charlotte, European Commission, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Family Affairs, Solidarity, Living Together and Reception of Refugees, among others.
Media representatives are invited to schedule interviews with the festival organisers from LUkraine asbl. This is an excellent opportunity to gain insights into the festival’s mission, the significance of this year’s theme, and the broader context of Ukrainian culture in Luxembourg.
