Moldovan diaspora comes together in Luxembourg

On the evening of 13 September 2025, nearly 200 Moldovans from Luxembourg, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, and Portugal gathered at the Drescherhaus Cultural Centre in Dommeldange to celebrate Moldovan culture and traditions, as well as the Romanian language. The event featured a vibrant artistic programme that brought together generations and included the presence of the much-loved Moldovan poet Vasile Romanciuc.

Organised by the nonprofit Impact Moldova in Luxembourg, with financial support from the Government of the Republic of Moldova through the Diaspora Engagement Hub program, the evening was a joyful occasion for reunions, cultural exchange, and appreciation of shared heritage in the heart of Europe.

Highlights included traditional music and dance performances, children’s art workshops, and the inspiring presence of the Moldovan diaspora community coming together to celebrate their roots.
