Rock de Rack

by | Dec 10, 2024 | Equality, Featured, Youth

The “Rock de Rack” is an annual youth festival in Luxembourg dedicated to promoting gender equality. Organized by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Diversity (MEGA), the event engages young people through workshops, discussions, and cultural activities centered on various equality-related themes.

Each year, the festival focuses on a specific topic. For instance, the 2024 edition, held on October 24 and 25 at Kinepolis Kirchberg, explored “STEAM” (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) and their intersection with gender equality. More than 600 participants from secondary schools and Cycle 4 of primary education attended three workshops from a selection of twelve, facilitated by partners such as the University of Luxembourg and the Scienteens Lab.

In 2023, the theme was “Inequalities in Sport,” attracting over 450 students and offering 13 diverse workshops.

A central feature of the festival is the “Rock de Krees,” an interactive roundtable where participants share their experiences and discuss the day’s topics, fostering open dialogue and reflection.

Through these initiatives, Rock de Rack aims to sensitize young people to gender equality issues, encouraging them to challenge stereotypes and contribute to a more inclusive society.

And today’s youth?! – How it used to annoy me in high school when someone said that to me! But how is it possible that today, so many older people have the exact same phrases on the tip of their tongues? As a young person, you build references and a framework in which...
