Etika L’Action Solidarité Tiers Monde (ASTM) est une organisation non gouvernementale de développement luxembourgeoise qui lutte depuis 1969 pour l’émancipation politique, économique et sociale des peuples du Tiers Monde. Elle est guidée par la conviction que des obstacles majeurs à cette émancipation se trouvent localisés chez nous, dans les centres du pouvoir économique et politique. C’est pourquoi l’ASTM reconnait une égale importance aux trois volets de notre activité : appui aux populations dans les pays du Sud, information et sensibilisation au Luxembourg, et travail politique au Luxembourg.

SRI in the Rockies Our Town If you have questions about an Our Town application, please contact OT@arts.gov Art works to improve the lives of America’s citizens in many ways. Communities across our nation are leveraging the arts and engaging design to make their communities more livable with enhanced quality of life, increased creative activity, a distinct sense of place, and vibrant local economies that together capitalize on their existing assets. The NEA defines these efforts as the process of Creative Placemaking: "In creative placemaking, partners from public, private, nonprofit, and community sectors strategically shape the physical and social character of a neighborhood, town, tribe, city, or region around arts and cultural activities. Creative placemaking animates public and private spaces, rejuvenates structures and streetscapes, improves local business viability and public safety, and brings diverse people together to celebrate, inspire, and be inspired."
