The Luxembourg Allergy Network (LAN) turned 10 this week! Emile and Tamara, members of the LAN want to spread awareness about the issues and severity of food allergies, but also show that there is support here in Luxembourg.

The LAN focus predominately on children and have good advice on how to spot when a child has or may grow into food allergies. They are a patient facing organisation that attempts to educate, inform and support people about and with allergies.

Allergies and tolerances change over time, this can be confusing but also can expand your palette, something Emile has experience with. He was able to confront his pine nut allergy that used to be life threatening, now he jokes about how he could eat a whole bag. At different ages children start to exhibit different intolerances and allergies.

Emile shared his experience about one massive impact his food allergies has had on him, socialising. He has had a variation of responses from people when he has to tell them about his food allergies. Tamara adds that children notice they are the odd one out or different very early on. For example, not being allowed to have the same birthday cake as everyone else, or even not being invited to the party so no one there has to worry about the risk.

At PwC Luxembourg, diversity, equity, inclusion, and well-being (DEI&W) aren’t just buzzwords. Last week, staff gathered for “Diversity Day,” a flagship event highlighting the company’s evolving commitment to workplace culture that is open, inclusive, and supports worker's wellbeing.

Organised largely by Gaia, a recent intern from Italy, the event brought together internal diversity networks including: Shine (LGBTQ+), Ability (disability and neurodiversity), LatAm (multicultural backgrounds), Women & Men (gender equity), and Generations (age inclusion). Held in PwC’s central atrium, the day featured interactive stands, games, and open conversations.

For Marc, a partner with over 30 years at PwC, the DEI journey has been long but meaningful. “We’ve come a long way from only focusing on gender balance. Now we tackle multiple dimensions of identity and experience,” he said. Marc emphasised that these initiatives are not only ethical imperatives, but also strategic for attracting top talent. “Well-being is business-critical,” he added.

May is recognised as European Diversity Month, and PwC Luxembourg sees it as an opportunity not just to celebrate, but to reaffirm its values. “Repeating the message matters,” Marc said. “If we want real inclusion, we can’t just talk, we have to act every day.”

The message was clear: diversity at PwC isn’t about ticking boxes, it’s about building a culture where everyone can bring their full selves to work.

After a deadly train station collapse and ongoing government inaction, students have taken their message across Europe on foot. Maria came on the Breakfast Show to tell us more about this.

The students running from Serbia to Brussels, Belgium are nearing the end of an 18-day, 1,500-kilometer ultramarathon in a dramatic protest against systemic corruption and democratic decline in their country. Over the weekend, they were greeted by a crowd of 200–300 supporters in Luxembourg, including members of the Serbian diaspora and local officials.

The student movement began last November after the roof of a newly renovated train station in Novi Sad collapsed, killing 16 people. The tragedy, widely seen as the result of corruption and mismanagement, followed two school shootings in 2023 that had already shaken public confidence in Serbia’s institutions.

“This was the tipping point,” said Maria, a protest supporter here in Luxembourg. “Young people are saying, ‘We don’t want to live in a country like this.’”

What makes the movement unique is its structure: there are no official leaders. Students make decisions through horizontal organisation and direct democracy. This is a new model for activism in Serbia. The protest has expanded rapidly to include university professors, high school students, and professionals across sectors.

The ultramarathon to Brussels aims to raise international awareness and prompt pressure from the European Union. The students recently attended a session in Strasbourg, where MEPs affirmed core democratic values and voiced support for their cause.

Their demands include an independent judiciary, freedom of the press, transparent elections and checks on executive power

With a final stop in Brussels this week, students are calling for the EU to turn its words into action.
