Cultur ‘All asbl

Cultur’all works at several levels:

Raising awareness of the benefits of culture and the various obstacles encountered by Kulturpass beneficiaries, and creating an interconnected and dynamic network of cultural and social partners.

The association tries to develop different approaches depending on the objective pursued.

The a.s.b.l. Cultur’all has set itself the following missions:

sensitize society and political leaders to the provisions of Article 27.1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: “Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits”;
promote and facilitate – in particular through the Kulturpass ¬¬– access to all forms of culture for people who are remote from it, in particular those living in a difficult social and/or economic situation;
encourage the participation and contribution of all – in particular the most deprived and/or excluded people – in cultural life, not only as consumers, but also as actors;
promote cultural diversity as well as intersocial and intercultural dialogues;
promote cultural mediation and the development of synergies between the political, social and cultural fields.

Cultur’all believes that participation in cultural life, whether as an actor or as a consumer, is not only a right, but also an essential need for human development. No human being should be excluded from it for any reason. However, a large part of the population, whether they have a disability or are isolated, are from a minority culture or economically disadvantaged, do not yet enjoy this fundamental right.

However, respect for and the implementation of cultural rights are necessary conditions for the development of individual and collective capacities, cohesion and social justice. These rights have an important role to play in the fight against poverty and social exclusion.

In addition, culture is inseparable from identity. The particular demographic context of Luxembourg makes intercultural dialogue and the recognition of its particularities linked to immigration a fundamental necessity.
Culture, art and creation allow civilizations to meet, and showcase themselves. Cultural diversity must be considered an asset and be valued.

We are convinced that intersocial dialogue is an important aspect of intercultural dialogue. It is therefore a question of fostering encounters not only between people from different cultural origins, but also between people from different social backgrounds.

Cultur’all a.s.b.l. continues to sensitize partners as well as public authorities to this issue, hoping that one day resources will be released to reach all vulnerable people.
