When Joel Rollinger heard about this lovely house in Lorentzweiler that would be demolished, he immediately had an exciting idea that he bravely executed from the start to the final accomplishment of his project: THE (CON)TEMPORARY ART GALLERY; he decided to get it completely painted in white in and out, and gathered a collective of Artists that would each take possession of a room to make Art, by the motto: Carte Blanche.
The house excites the imagination the moment you see it from the road, and once you come close you enter an unforgettable playground for creative and brave minds
The event is revolving around the concept of failure, bravery, challenge and those who mastered their talent and learnt how to win – The Mentors.
The Mentors – Achievers: Artists, Musicians, Filmmakers, Entrepreneurs will share with You- The Braves their experience during the roundtables.
You will have a privileged opportunity to meet them, hear their story and chat with them as your future friends. You are invited to ask your specific questions, debate, get advice and share mottos, references and strengths.

“I have initiated 2030 WHEN i GROW UP in a paediatric hospital where I was teaching kids, who spent most of their time within 4 walls, how to let their imagination unfold and create their own story, a story without limits, but only limited by their own fear or courage. I started organizing creative ateliers as I highly believe participatory film-making teaches kids self-awareness, logic and reasoning, training the positive imagination, healthy scepticism, relationships, be it friends, family or future lovers, well… things we do not learn in school, but which we need in daily life. Its a tool to empower children by being the hero in their own journey. My dream is to help children create their own media, but more importantly to use it for creating their own hero’s journey, and spread their messages all over the world” Ladies & Gentlemen let me intriduce you Andra Maria Matresu – cross-media producer and Romain Guillaud founders of 2030 WHEN i GROW UP
Valery is not just your average Bartender. He is YourBartender! Fed up with the conventional Bartending job, he was convinced he was capable of much more than that. Driven by his ambition to the US to deepen his skills, he came back and decided tro create Your Bartender Luxembourg a little over a year ago. Today Your Bartender Luxembourg has been hired at not only corporate events hosted by Losch, BMW, Lotterie Nationale, among other, but also weddings or public events like Gala Tour de France. And many more to come, we are sure!

The festival gathers every year since, an impressive lineup of mindblowing reggae and hip-hop artists with all benefits going to the NGO. Being chosen as the ambassador in Tokyo for Pioneers Festival, a visionary organization originally in Vienna, last year, he also hosted the first edition of the entrepreneurial event for high tech start-ups called Pioneers Unplugged Tokyo. He will bring Pioneers to Luxembourg soon too, and is currently preparing the next Make Me Smile Festival for october in Vienna!

Marianne, a venezuelan young woman living in Luxembourg for 2 years, has decided to quit her job and recently found her company NUXNuxspreads, heavenly delicious handmade nut spreads, in January this year.
