In 2022, together with 10 Pro-Sud municipalities, and 8 municipalities in France, in the Communautée de Communes Pays Haut Val l’Alzette (CCPHVA), Esch-Alzette, Luxembourg’s second largest city, will be European Capital of Culture. Each year this label is awarded to a different city or area within the European Union.

Esch2022 will share this title with Kaunas, the second largest city in Lithuania and Novi Sad, the second largest city in Serbia, which will be partner cities for Esch2022.

Under the slogan Remix Culture and its four sub-sections Remix Art, Remix Europe, Remix Nature and Remix Yourself, Esch2022 aims to create synergies, guarantee sustainable development and, most importantly, ensure that the general public gets actively involved.

Over the coming months, make sure you keep visiting the website on a regular basis to find out about the exciting, innovative projects taking place in the heart of this lively, multicultural region.

WHAT ARE THE OBJECTIVES OF Esch2022?

At the local level, Esch2022’s watchwords are: Provide access. Empower the population. Inspire confidence. Change perspectives. Turn to innovation. At European level, Esch2022’s message is to draw strength from within. Believe. Take back control of your own destiny and build a sustainable future. Applied to the four sub-themes, these objectives translate as follows:

REMIX YOURSELF

Esch2022 offers a space of freedom and recreation that encourages us to bring new perspectives to our lives in order to strengthen this sense of common identity and trust and thus create a legacy of which we can be proud. Esch2022 encourages cultural diversity to foster personal growth. Inspire others and let others inspire you.
