Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : Zanter ongeféier zeng Joer woren an der Stad d'Nationalmuséeën - Musée um Fëschmaart a Musée Dräi Eechelen - gratis. Zanter dem 1.1.2026 awer net méi. Dofir dës Petitioun, fir datt jiddereen nees fräien Accès zur Kultur kritt, wéi dat elo iwwert zéng Joer de Fall wor.

OBJECT : The Luxembourgish language is a central element of the national identity and social cohesion of Luxembourg. According to Article 4 of the Constitution of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Luxembourgish is the national language of the country. However, in everyday life it is increasingly observed that communication in Luxembourgish becomes difficult or even impossible. This concerns not only the public sector, but also many areas of daily life. In sensitive situations in particular, it is important that people can express themselves in their own language and also be understood. This applies especially in: • hospitals and healthcare institutions • retirement homes and care facilities • schools and childcare structures for children and young people • pharmacies • shops and services • public administrations • and many other areas

OBJECT : We wish to draw the attention of the relevant authorities to growing concerns regarding the safety of children within and around educational institutions. On the one hand, it has been observed that certain playgrounds and school surroundings, when accessible outside of school hours, may be exposed to vandalism or the presence of hazardous waste such as broken glass, syringes, or other harmful substances. These elements pose a direct risk to children's health and safety. On the other hand, the issue of safety among students themselves requires urgent attention. Incidents of physical violence can occur from a very young age. Some children are subjected to blows or aggression, sometimes repeatedly, without adequate responses being provided. These incidents are not isolated and are part of a broader context in which violence can manifest at different stages of the educational journey. Recent events, including those in secondary schools, highlight the need for early intervention. We firmly believe that education in respect, conflict management, and kindness must begin at an early age. Prevention is essential to ensure that such behaviors do not become entrenched over time. In light of these concerns, we call for: Effective securing of playgrounds outside school hours; Systematic and thorough cleaning of school premises before students arrive; Increased supervision within schools and their surroundings; Serious and consistent handling of incidents of violence between students, including in daycare and kindergarten; The implementation of prevention and respect-based education programs adapted to each age group; Improved communication between educational staff and parents on these matters. The physical and emotional safety of children must remain an absolute priority. Schools must remain safe environments where every child can grow, learn, and thrive without fear.
