​Amitié Portugal-Luxembourg (“APL”) was founded in 1969 and started its
intercultural activities in 1996. APL’s focus has been the promotion of European
values and crucial role of the European citizens in building an integrated Europe.
APL’s intercultural, short and long term, projects have involved people from different
ages and cultures living in Luxembourg and working together.
APL is active at both a national and European level.
Through its different activities and international work-camps, APL plays a role and
contributes in building an open and tolerant society. APL’s objective is to show
that prejudices existing among people with different backgrounds can be reduced
and even eliminated through their direct interaction. Through our projects, we have
noticed and strongly put forward the huge capacity of young people to contribute in
community’s life. Our experience has shown that youth’s new ideas and philosophy
of inclusion helps in acknowledging and further promoting cultural diversity as an
enrichment of communities. This can be easily observed in the role they have and
the impact they make in the realization of our projects. In this perspective, our
initiatives actively contribute at a European level.
