Describe the multi-stakeholder consultation process established for the preparation of this report, including consultations with relevant ministries, public institutions, local governments and civil society organizations.: 

Au regard des nombreuses mesures et ramifications qui touchent de près ou de loin aux objectifs de la Convention de 2005, le rapport a été établi en consultation avec les différents acteurs concernés.

Executive summary: 

Le Luxembourg étant un pays plurilingue et multiculturel, la promotion des objectifs de la "Convention sur la protection et la promotion de la diversité des expressions culturelles" est omniprésente parce qu’intrinsèque aux préoccupations et politiques en particulier culturelles.

En effet, la diversité culturelle est une réalité quotidienne au Luxembourg où, sur quelques 2586 km2, des citoyens de quelques 170 pays (env. 47,7% de la population sont d'origine non luxembourgeoise) se côtoient au travail, à l'école ou dans les domaines sociaux, culturels et sportifs. Promouvoir et mettre en œuvre la Convention de 2005 équivaut donc à affirmer la pluri-culturalité du pays tout en ancrant sa propre identité culturelle dans cette diversité enrichissante.

Ceci étant, la mise en œuvre de la Convention de 2005 s'oriente avant tout par rapport à la réalisation des objectifs fixés dans le programme gouvernemental, l'actuel datant de 2018. Celui-ci retient notamment que "l’intégration et l’inclusion socio-culturelle seront au coeur de l’action gouvernementale. Le Gouvernement augmentera ses efforts en faveur d’un vivre-ensemble harmonieux des différentes composantes de notre société par le biais d’une politique d’intégration et d’inclusion. Il promouvra la diversité culturelle tout comme notre patrimoine et nos traditions qui sont autant d’éléments constitutifs de notre identité."

Par ailleurs, le programme gouvernemental souligne que la politique culturelle poursuit une approche ambitieuse qui prend en compte le fait que la diversité des cultures, la liberté créatrice, les arts, les droits culturels, le respect du patrimoine culturel et naturel sont essentiels au développement du débat démocratique, d’une véritable ouverture d’esprit et des droits fondamentaux en général.

La diversité culturelle est un des atouts du Luxembourg et fait partie de son identité. Les activités culturelles aident les personnes issues de milieux différents à se rencontrer et à avoir un échange les uns avec les autres. Ainsi, la culture aide à construire des ponts à travers la société, à stimuler l’intégration et la cohésion sociale. Pour cette raison, les événements et les programmes interculturels qui contribuent au dialogue entre les différents membres de notre société, seront promus. Il sera e.a. veillé à ce que les institutions culturelles publiques dédient une partie de leur programme et de leurs ressources à des activités interculturelles.

En date du jeudi 23 juillet 2020, le Conseil de gouvernement a approuvé la création et la nomination des membres de l'association sans but lucratif Kultur:LX. Le même jour cette association a été constituée par onze membres fondateurs du secteur de la Culture et de représentants de l'État en vue de la préfiguration de l'établissement public du même nom. Le Luxembourg s'est ainsi doté de sa propre structure de diffusion et de rayonnement de la culture luxembourgeoise au Grand-Duché et à l'étranger. Construisant sur de nombreux efforts et d'expériences dans ce domaine, l'association reprendra sous son toit les missions de music:LX, Reading Luxembourg, du Focuna ... et tant d'autres. L'idée est de rendre plus transparente, plus professionnelle et plus structurée l'aide au secteur culturel dans son ensemble. Kultur:LX aura e.a. pour tâches de soutenir des tournées et des expositions à l'étranger, de promouvoir des traductions littéraires et de diffuser la création dramaturgique, de renforcer la participation du Luxembourg à de grandes manifestations culturelles à l'étranger. Des programmes d'échanges et des résidences permettront d'entretenir des relations culturelles et le dialogue avec d'autres cultures. En amont de leur exportation, un accent particulier sera mis sur le développement de la carrière des artistes et des créatifs, ceci en collaboration avec les institutions culturelles du pays. Parmi les nouveautés, la possibilité de soutenir les industries créatives et l'allocation de bourses de longue durée sont prévues. L'association, et plus tard l'établissement public, veilleront à encourager la diversité des expressions culturelles, à identifier de nouveaux talents et à rester ouverts aux approches les plus variées pour mettre à l'honneur la créativité luxembourgeoise.
