"Truly Impressive": UNESCO Spotlights Emblem

On March 16, 2026, UNESCO published the story "Sparking dialogue on Luxembourg's streets, one emblem at a time," featuring Emblem's Luxembourg Passport in its official Youth for Peace web story series. The article describes the project's progress as "truly impressive" and frames it as a promising response to contemporary intercultural challenges. Through digital souvenirs made by Emblem creators linked to real locations, Emblem invites residents, newcomers, and visitors to explore Luxembourg's cultural landscape while transforming everyday places into shared cultural reference points. The feature follows UNESCO's review of interim reports, where projects across the programme were evaluated for "strong activities" and "early achievements." Emblem was identified among those demonstrating the most compelling momentum, leading to its inclusion in UNESCO's official web story series designed to "amplify" impactful initiatives and "encourage wider audiences to engage" with them. While independently developed, the Luxembourg Passport gains international visibility through this recognition, reinforcing its role as a cultural platform responding directly to the realities UNESCO has identified.
