État civil

The offices of the État civil (Civil Registry) will be closed on Friday, 1 November 2024.

Waste collection and resource centre

The collection dates for mixed municipal household waste, waste paper, glass, organic waste and blue Valorlux bags will be changed. Throughout the week after a public holiday, the municipal waste collection services run with one working day's delay. In this case, the waste collections will be postponed from Friday, 1 November to Saturday, 2 November 2024.

Residents are asked to take these changes into account and put their bins out according to the amended waste collection schedule, which is available at dechets.vdl.lu.

Resource Centre

To take full advantage of the service, you need to be a member of one of the partner libraries. To access a document, simply look it up as you normally would on the Luxembourg libraries network's unified search engine (a-z.lu), then follow the link to the platform displayed on the page ("Online access"). To further refine your search, we recommend that you restrict your search to "bibliothèque numérique" (digital library) only. You can also sort the search results by document type (e.g. videos). It is also possible to access these platforms directly via the links below.

• The US-based platform Kanopy features a collection of audiovisual documents in English, including documentaries, fiction films and movies for children. Users can view up to five movies a month. For the children's content (Kanopy Kids) and the documentaries (The Great Courses), viewing is unlimited. The Germany-based platform Filmfriend features a collection of audio-visual documents in several languages – fiction films, movies for children, Luxembourgish movies, etc. – with unlimited viewing. The France-based platform Divercities is divided into two sections: Tënk, for documentaries, and DiMusic, for musical content. Access is unlimited.

The theme of the "Inégalités & Injustices" (Inequalities and Injustices) exhibition, which will be displayed on sixteen panels in Merl Park until January 2025, refers to the unequal distribution of wealth as perceived by students at the Athénée de Luxembourg, a phenomenon that reinforces existing social inequalities and fuels feelings of injustice.

The workshop will be rounded off with practical work, including the creation of a large Christmas wreath.
