Description of the action

The Commune of Strassen has set up the distribution of a Welcome book for all newcomers. Available in French, English and German, this guide gives useful practical information in Luxembourg. At the same time, an accompaniment is planned in order to explain in more detail if necessary and to answer different questions. A CD is also available in the three languages.

Context

In Luxembourg, the number of foreigners arriving in the country is very high. Faced with all the questions they may ask themselves but do not dare to ask, the Welcome book condenses a first aid tointegration.

Objectives

The objectives are multiple:

- To facilitateintegration and contact with other inhabitants...

- Enable all practical information to be centralized in a single document

- Understand how the commune works

Approach

In order to facilitate theirintegration, the commune offers the same information to everyone with contacts in more specific areas such as sport or other activities available.
