NEWS
DIN - K
Koll an Aktioun is the culmination of a year-long effort organized by over 30 fully active, volunteer Kollibris, spread across 12 working groups.
Officially, we have 11 groups but new ones occasionally emerge in response to fresh ideas and evolving missions.
In 2023, Din K was born out of a new concept: “Casa Di Kollibri” a gastronomical experience designed to stage social interaction through the simple joys of life:
Pizza, Vino & Amore (or Pizza, Party & Amore depending on the mood!).
That same year, we began collaborating with “D’Kollektiv”, an association based at the VEWA in Dudelange. We needed plates to serve our homemade pizza alongside fine wine (or grape juice). The plates? Crafted from recycled wood collected over 15 years ago and lovingly reactivated together with members of D’Kollektiv in their atelier.
At the same time, we were forced to vacate our storage barn which held all our festival gear: materials, decorations, boxes, and countless mysterious objects. Ferroforum asbl came to our rescue, offering temporary space in their atelier at Metzeschmelz in Esch-sur-Alzette. But we knew this couldn’t be a long-term solution. We needed a plan.
Inspired by the industrial aesthetic of the space, we conceived a new system: everything must fit on Euro-pallets. a global standard that revolutionized how we consume, transport, and manage logistics. This would allow us to plan and execute multiple relocations quickly, until we find a permanent storage solution.
Din K was born and since 2024, we’ve met regularly at VEWA, using D’Kollektiv’s atelier and machinery to co-create eco-responsible, handmade decorations and scenography for Koll an Aktioun.
Our motto?
Hands on! Be together, have fun, and let your creativity flow!
Koll-ca
On paper, a CA (Conseil d’administration) might just be the most unglamorous, boring and bureaucratic thing ever. Not with the Kollibris! Our association, Kollibri asbl, is somewhat the house in which Koll An Aktioun makes up one room. The idea is that the other rooms are filled with further activities, ideas, groups and gatherings that all reflect the core values that connect us all.
the CA is the cozy living room in which we meet +/- once a month in order to discuss what’s going on at the festival, what needs to be done, to update each AG (working group) with each other, drink a beer or two together and discuss what’s important to us and in how far the association and the festival reflect this.
Yes, we might sometimes get carried away in our discussions and the evenings might end later than anticipated, but: every single time every single one of us leaves the CA with new input, ideas and views. And that’s what this should be about: to challenge ourselves. But in a fun way!
VISOUNSWEEKND
Ce n’était pas un rassemblement de rêveurs éveillés dans un nuage de fumée, mais une réunion stratégique, créative et profondément ancrée dans le réel. Une dizaine de Kollibri — oui, ces oiseaux aux ailes vives et aux couleurs vives, symboles de liberté, de mouvement et de résistance douce — accompagnés du Père Fouettard (pour rappeler que l’engagement a aussi ses rigueurs) et de Saint-Nicolas (pour rappeler que la joie, la générosité et la solidarité sont des valeurs non négociables), se sont réunis du 05.12.2025 au 07.12.2025 le temps d’un Weekend pour rêver, mais surtout pour co-créé la prochaine édition du Festival Koll an Aktioun.
Dans ce rêve éveillé , car c’est bien de cela qu’il s’agit : un rêve lucide, un projet qui prend racine dans l’imaginaire pour germer dans le concret , nous avons entre autres mis l’accent sur les valeurs que nous souhaitons transmettre : la solidarité, la créativité, la résistance joyeuse, la convivialité engagée, l’écologie culturelle, la place de l’art comme outil de transformation sociale. Et surtout, nous avons réfléchi à la façon de les rendre visibles, palpables, vivantes au milieu de tant d’événements culturels que l’on consomme sans se poser la question : « Quel est le message ? »
Vous vous dites : « Un Visionsweekend ? C’est quoi, ces hippys ? Sûrement un week-end assis autour d’un feu en train de chanter des mantras, et de consommer je ne sais quoi qui fait planer… »
Si c’est le cas, détrompez-vous.
Parce que oui, aujourd’hui, on va à des festivals pour danser, boire, se détendre , et c’est bien. Mais nous, nous croyons qu’un événement culturel peut être bien plus qu’un divertissement ou un bien de consommation. Il peut être un lieu de rencontre, de questionnement, de réveil des consciences, de partage de projets. Il peut être un espace où l’on ne consomme pas seulement de la musique ou des spectacles, mais aussi des idées, des émotions, des solidarités.
Et c’est précisément ce que nous voulons construire : un festival où l’art et l’action se rencontrent, où les artistes ne sont pas seulement des spectacles, mais des catalyseurs de réflexion et d’engagement. Où le public n’est pas seulement un consommateur, mais un acteur. Où chaque scène, chaque atelier, chaque repas, chaque moment de pause, devient une occasion de réfléchir, d’échanger, de créer ensemble.
Si vous souhaitez savoir quel est notre message ce n’est pas un slogan, ce n’est pas une affiche, c’est une expérience à vivre , alors on se donne rendez-vous au plus tard du 22 au 24 mai 2026 à Haut-Martelange.
Car le message, ce n’est pas ce qu’on dit. C’est ce qu’on fait. Et ce qu’on vit. Ensemble.
P.S. : Ce texte n’est pas un appel à la passivité, mais un appel à l’action , joyeuse, collective, créative.
Et si vous êtes là, c’est que vous aussi, vous avez envie de rêver éveillé. Alors, à très vite dans
le réel, pas seulement dans le rêve.
rONDERËM DEN uEWEN
Ronderëm den Uewen is a pretty simple idea - however it seems almost revolutionary. It translates to around the fireplace/stove. And that’s what we do: we meet in our very own stock where we actually put up an ancient stove that not only warms us but also a soup or mulled wine - depending on your needs.
We’d love for people to gather just to spend time together, to get creative together and to talk. About views they share and about opinions that might differ.
To create a space to allow exchange as well as constructive criticism and where different opinions can be shared and discussed. An important value that seems to be less and less common. But you’ll find it at Ronderëm den Uewen! So keep your eyes peeled for any upcoming editions. Sometimes it might also just be dancing around the stove.
