Luxembourg is known to be a diverse country. Check at statistics and you will learn that approximately 45% of the population is non-luxembourgish.

I hope wherever you are, you continuously encourage diversity and inclusion. Stretching your hand to include one more people makes the world a better place. As they said, the more the merrier
Does the country you live in celebrate diversity? if yes, what do they do to encourage a diverse society?
