Another Legacy Links treat is landing with a bang!💥 Each episode links a historical figure from Luxembourg’s past to someone working in the same field today: this time, we're looking at John Grün, the strongest Luxembourger of all time from 1900s💪, and Elodie Covella, a yoga instructor from Luxembourg🧘♀️ John Grün, Luxembourg’s most famous strongman, became a symbol of physical strength and resilience in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His dedication to body mastery, endurance, and discipline made him a legend. Today, Elodie Covella, yoga instructor and Luxembourger, embodies a modern approach to physical and mental strength through yoga, promoting holistic well-being, mindfulness, and body awareness. While John Grün focused on raw physical power, Elodie represents a contemporary evolution of strength – rooted in balance, flexibility, and mental resilience. Both figures, in their own ways, inspire people to push their limits and discover the full potential of their bodies.

The Luxembourg Allergy Network (LAN) turned 10 this week! Emile and Tamara, members of the LAN want to spread awareness about the issues and severity of food allergies, but also show that there is support here in Luxembourg. The LAN focus predominately on children and have good advice on how to spot when a child has or may grow into food allergies. They are a patient facing organisation that attempts to educate, inform and support people about and with allergies. Allergies and tolerances change over time, this can be confusing but also can expand your palette, something Emile has experience with. He was able to confront his pine nut allergy that used to be life threatening, now he jokes about how he could eat a whole bag. At different ages children start to exhibit different intolerances and allergies. Emile shared his experience about one massive impact his food allergies has had on him, socialising. He has had a variation of responses from people when he has to tell them about his food allergies. Tamara adds that children notice they are the odd one out or different very early on. For example, not being allowed to have the same birthday cake as everyone else, or even not being invited to the party so no one there has to worry about the risk.

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. Now we tackle multiple dimensions of identity and experience,” he said. Marc emphasised that these initiatives are not only ethical imperatives, but also strategic for attracting top talent. “Well-being is business-critical,” he added. May is recognised as European Diversity Month, and PwC Luxembourg sees it as an opportunity not just to celebrate, but to reaffirm its values. “Repeating the message matters,” Marc said. “If we want real inclusion, we can’t just talk, we have to act every day.” The message was clear: diversity at PwC isn’t about ticking boxes, it’s about building a culture where everyone can bring their full selves to work. *This is sponsored content…

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 makes the movement unique is its structure: there are no official leaders. Students make decisions through horizontal organisation and direct democracy. This is a new model for activism in Serbia. The protest has expanded rapidly to include university professors, high school students, and professionals across sectors. The ultramarathon to Brussels aims to raise international awareness and prompt pressure from the European Union. The students recently attended a session in Strasbourg, where MEPs affirmed core democratic values and voiced support for their cause. Their demands include an independent judiciary, freedom of the press, transparent elections and checks on executive power With a final stop in Brussels this week, students are calling for the EU to turn its words into action.…

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 partnership with three local mental health charities: SOS Detresse, Kanner Jugend Telefon and Ligue Sante Mentale. Representatives from each organisation will be on site to offer information, support and a listening ear. Participants are encouraged to arrive by 4:45 a.m. at the Omnisports Hall in Luxembourg City. The route covers approximately five kilometers through the city, with accessibility options available for those who need them. After the walk, refreshments will be served and attendees will have the opportunity to connect with support services.

Lilian Steichen, the sister of the world famous photographer Edward Steichen who emigrated with their parents from Luxembourg at the end of 1800s, was a pioneer in sustainable agriculture, introducing goat dairy farming to the U.S. and advocating for its health benefits at a time when it was not widely accepted. Her work emphasized the importance of natural food sources, gut health, and self-sustaining farming. Similarly, Samantha Dula’s dedication to beekeeping follows a parallel path – promoting natural, sustainable food production and raising awareness about the critical role of pollinators in human and environmental health all the way from the U.S. to Luxembourg. Both women, though separated by time and industry, share not only a nationality, but also a passion for ethical and sustainable food production, environmental stewardship, and public education about the unseen benefits of nature’s smallest contributors – whether through goat milk or honeybees.

ACL knowledge bites, because there's so much more to the ACL In the picturesque Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, an artist who never sleeps is capturing candid moments of unsuspecting drivers day and night. But don't worry, this isn't about an avant garde street photographer. It's the ever watchful speed and red light cameras making sure our roads stay safe and you too. Luxembourg's roads are closely monitored by 20 fixed speed cameras scattered across the country. On top of that, there are seven mobile radar units known locally as Radar transom. These units track a vehicle's average speed over long distances, making sure drivers don't just slow down near fixed cameras and then speed up again. In 2023, these combined forces flashed more than 350,000 times, handing out over €15 million in fines. That is about 965 reminders per day. So yeah, quite a lot. With fines ranging from €49 for minor infractions to several hundred euros for serious offences, ignoring cameras can be pretty expensive. And where are they? If you're driving through the tunnels on the A7 motorway, keep an eye on your speed. Speed cameras are set up in tunnels. The speed limit is 90km/h, and the cameras are there to ensure that drivers don't turn the thrill of tunnel driving into costly mistakes. In the heart of Luxembourg City, traffic enforcement is stepping up. Three red light cameras have been installed at key locations in the Hollerich district, while an additional one keeps watch at Place de l'Étoile. So specifically, you'll find those in the rue d' Esch and the Boulevard Doctor Charles Marks a spot where drivers often rush through out of impatience, especially in the boulevard Doctor Charles Marks a section where stepping on the gas a bit too hard can quickly become a problem. Do you have some? Also, in the intersection of the A4 motorway and the Boulevard Pierre du Pont There is a tricky, tricky conjecture where the yellow light often tempts drivers to push their luck. Place de l'Étoile located at one of the city's major transport hubs, this red light cameras ensures drivers stay alert during rush hour. It helps prevent cars from blocking tram railways, keeping traffic flowing smoothly and avoiding potential hazards. During their test phase, these cameras detected an average of over 800 violations per day. Clearly, they're not just there for decoration. Sure, nobody likes speed cameras, but it's hard to argue with the results. The markusbierg Tunnel, for example, on the A13, caught 74,000 speeding drivers in one year, making it the most effective camera in the country. So the next time you're driving through Luxembourg's scenic roads or urban streets, remember to smile. And if you want to avoid traffic, or at least be prepared for it. Tune in to Radio Ara during morning rush hour twice a morning. ACL will give you the latest traffic updates to help you steer clear of any unpleasant surprises on the road.…

Hembadoon is a singer, songwriter, radio host, and all-around creative powerhouse who is performing at the much-anticipated Radio ARA Crowdfunding Concert: A Lux Mini Fest, a special fundraising event featuring Luxembourg-based talent. Hembadoon joined the studio not only to perform live but also to share her inspiring story. Originally from Nigeria, Hembadoon began her music career in 2002 and has worn many hats in the industry since. Now based in Luxembourg, she balances her roles as front woman of her band and host of the Africulture Mix show on Radio ARA. She emphasises how the local radio and music scene have provided her with a platform and a sense of community unlike any other. This is a contrast to the highly competitive media and music environment she experienced in Nigeria. She delves into the formation of her current band that came about through a serendipitous journey of weekend jam sessions that turned into collaborations. Hembadoon recalls meeting musicians organically through gigs and studio visits, leading to a synergy that quickly evolved into a creative force. Their bond grew stronger through rehearsals and eventually culminated in a well-received debut concert that cemented their commitment to making music together. Throughout the conversation, Hembadoon celebrates the unique blend of cultural influences that shape her sound, staying true to her African roots while exploring new sonic landscapes with her multicultural band. She highlights how this creative process has expanded her songwriting, allowing her to draw from deeply personal experiences and transform them into resonant stories and songs. Live in the studio, Hembadoon performs two powerful tracks: “Lady,” an anthem of self-actualization and feminine identity, and “Kule Kule Hemba Ayem,” a soulful song in her native dialect about perseverance and staying grounded. Both performances showcase her dynamic vocal presence and the rich, textured sound of her ensemble.

Gabrielle Antar, the co-founder of Déi Aner is excited to celebrate the 2nd birthday of the media company with a zine making event. Déi Aner translates to "the other" in English and that is who they are trying to include. The Birthday celebration is happening with a Zine making workshop at MUDAM, the idea was to take the online zine and create something in-person that everyone can touch. Gabrielle feels that there was a need for a new kind of media because "we are being dominated mostly by a vibe of more bougie, patriarchal, heteronormative, society or structures. She and her co-founder started Déi Aner as it was their dream to own their own media, and from the basic idea grew more motivation and more political engagement than they expected. Does calling the zine alternative mean it is automatically political? According to Gabrielle, yes it does. She has found it a struggle to be outspoken about certain topics because of the nature of the country of Luxembourg. However, being politically openly is something that she feels people are craving, and it is because of this that they join the Déi Aner community. The organisation grew last year when eight people joined through an open call. This gave Gabrielle a community, something she thinks is incredibly important in hyper individualistic countries like Luxembourg.…
