Finding people from Luxembourg near you
Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.
You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.
Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.
Luxembourg National Day
Every June 23, the national day brings the Luxembourg diaspora together. Wherever the diaspora lives, communities also organise concerts, meals and gatherings.
