SCHUEBERFOUER

The Schueberfouer is THE big funfair in Luxembourg where one appreciates this event, which is more than a simple funfair. The event beginning principally the 23rd august, the day before Saint Bartholomew’s day is a very old luxemburgish tradition. It already existed while the Luxemburgish nation didn’t exist. Contrary to lots of funfairs that have a religious origin, the Schueberfouer is a worldly event, based originary on the trading of products. Nowadays it has changed to become a huge amusement event. The Luxemburgish love the Schueberfouer because it reminds most of them of their childhood. So it is nearly an attempt to the Luxembourgers not to attend the Schueberfouer, to eat a « gebaackene Fesch » (something like fish and chips), do some rides or the bumper cars and to return home with some Schappnougat.

ALL WE NEED

All We Need explores the world as a global market through the human efforts to dream, imagine and live a happy life. The exhibition shows, in particular through the fair trade example, alternatives in consumption and life styles. It provides reflections and proposals for action on the essential questions touching the future of mankind: which are our fundamental needs, and how can we satisfy them without endangering neither the survival of our planet, nor human rights?
