In the weeks leading up to summer break, a previously undeveloped corner of the playground at the Campus Kinneksbond elementary school was transformed into a perennial bed that will become, starting next summer, a flower-filled oasis that promotes biodiversity.

This project, carried out in collaboration with the school, the municipality of Mamer, and the SICONA association, involved about 60 students from Cycle 2.1, who planted nearly 650 perennials after learning about the importance of insects to nature.

Mayor Luc Feller, along with Aldermen Roger Negri and Ed Buchette, also came to learn about the project and, together with the children, listened to the explanations provided by the SICONA experts.

Starting next school year, a flower meadow and about 60 insect hotels—built by Cycle 4 students—will complete this project.

The closing ceremony at the Kinneksbond Campus marked the end of two weeks of summer activities for elementary school children from Mamer, Capellen, and Holzem. Under the theme “Kids on the Move,” the program offered a variety of activities and field trips.

On this occasion, Mayor Luc Feller, Councilman Roger Negri, and members of the municipal council thanked the staff for their dedication and wished the children and their families a wonderful summer vacation.

Dance performances and demonstrations by the various age groups brought the day to a close amid applause from the audience.

The Place de la Résistance hosted the second annual Holzem Village Festival, organized by local organizations with the support of the municipality.

Families, friends, and neighbors gathered to enjoy a pleasant summer evening in a friendly atmosphere. While the children enjoyed the many activities, visitors were able to enjoy some food, chat, and relax.

On the music front, the duo Lungo & Mil kicked off the evening before The Spaceminers got the crowd dancing.

Thanks to the dedication of the organizations and their volunteers, this second edition was once again a great success.

This year, food and drink were provided by the Vëlosclub Mamerdall and Café Kleng Gemeng.

Throughout the evening, a warm, village-festival atmosphere reigned over the square. In keeping with tradition, the Haemelmaus Trio provided the entertainment and helped create a wonderful musical atmosphere. Many visitors took to the dance floor.

The many Spanish fans livened up the evening with their flags, jerseys, and cheers. Despite several scoring opportunities, Spain struggled for much of the game against the opposing defense, while Argentina had a hard time creating any real danger.

Under the summer sun, a packed Place de l’Indépendance hosted the “A Tribute to Phil Collins” concert by the Military Band Big Band, featuring British singer Dave Whitehouse. The evening was one of the musical highlights of the summer in Mamer.
