For the past 40 years, French environmentalist and photographer Yann-Arthus Bertrand has been travelling the world, taking shots of planet Earth from the sky. This idea of revealing the beauty of our planet would bring him worldwide fame. “Our land is art, the photographer is only the witness”, he would say. In his exhibition on Bangladesh, Bertrand captures the vast water landscapes of this rich and diverse country. All of this can be discovered at the Friendship Pop-Up store in Luxembourg City.

This event at the Kulturfabrik marks the official launch of this children’s book. On this occasion, a signing session will be organised and the original works of the book as well as the sketchbooks will be exhibited. The book will be available for sale, too.

Are you familiar with the UK TV programme “Dragon’s Den”? Budding entrepreneurs get several minutes to pitch their ideas to top business folk who are willing to invest their own cash, time and expertise to kick-start the business. While a little less bombastic in terms of funding and prizes, Luxembourg has its own “Dragon’s Den”, called “Success Story”, produced by RTL. We’ve translated all Luxembourgish episodes into English, and they’re now available on RTL Play here. Some of the candidates are still around today!
What: Beer, snacks and movies!
Where: Online from home
When: Friday, 19 March - Sunday, 21 March - info & tickets here
The British & Irish Film Festival Luxembourg has teamed up with the Irish Film Institute to bring you two Irish films to enjoy online during St Patrick’s week: ‘The Winter Lake’ and ‘Wild Fire’ can be viewed online from 15 to 22 March (so this weekend is your last chance). Tickets are €9 per film screening. Each ticket allows your household to view the film, unlike in-cinema screenings when a ticket is just for one person. From the time of purchase the film will stay in your library for 72 hours. Cheers!
Is there an event you think we’d enjoy and like to share with our audience? Feel free to let us know through audience@rtltoday.lu and we may consider it for next week’s agenda.
