Development education and awareness raising
2015 was quite a remarkable year for Luxembourg development cooperation in terns of communication, due to the Luxembourg Presidency of the Council of the EU and European Year for Development.
The first step was the migration of the internet site to the government internet portal and a new URL, www.gouvernement.lu/cooperation.
Luxembourg development cooperation supported the Fundamental Monodrama Festival for the fourth consecutive year and continued its communication activities such as News! (the Luxembourg development cooperation newsletter), sending press releases and updating brochures on bilateral relations. The annual report was produced in French in hard copy and online on the minisite www.cooperation.lu, and in English in electronic form.
