Clae Services

What Clae Services does

CLAE Services (legally CLAE services asbl) is a Luxembourg-based non-profit association recognized as being of public utility, founded in 1985 with the operational entity established in 1991 under a formal convention with the Ministry of Family and Integration. The organization serves as a coordination platform for 191 member associations representing immigrant communities and cultural diversity in Luxembourg, providing advocacy, training, and cultural programming across three integrated service areas: a citizen welcome space, support for associative dynamics, and production of intercultural events.

Its core offerings include the flagship annual Festival des Migrations, des Cultures et de la Citoyenneté (43rd edition in 2026), accompanied by the Salon du Livre et des Cultures book fair and the ARTSMANIF contemporary arts section. Training products include Formation Imbrication (a four-module in-person program), Les Briquettes communication workshops, French as a foreign language courses, and three Internetstuff digital literacy centers co-managed with ErwuesseBildung and Maison des Associations. The organization publishes the Guide pour la Vie Associative (a 300-page comprehensive association management guide at 25-30 EUR), the quarterly magazine Faire Société Ensemble, and the Carnet Associatif newsletter. In 2024, CLAE jointly launched with FEDAS three interactive e-learning capsules covering associative project management, action project elaboration, and accounting for small associations.

The business model is non-commercial: revenue derives from a government convention with the Ministry of Family and Integration, charitable foundation grants (notably Œuvre Nationale de Secours Grande-Duchesse Charlotte), tax-deductible donations via PayPal and Payconiq, modest publication sales, and membership fees. Training programs and digital literacy services are provided free of charge. The organization operates with a lean team of 8 employees from its headquarters at 26 rue de Gasperich, Luxembourg, with additional training and digital literacy facilities at 1 rue Tony Bourg.

Broad incumbents

• Croix-Rouge Luxembourgeoise: Luxembourg Red Cross, providing humanitarian aid, refugee assistance, and integration programs. A larger incumbent with overlapping migrant support services but a much broader portfolio.
• ECRE (European Council on Refugees and Exiles): Pan-European umbrella of refugee-assistance NGOs conducting advocacy and policy work. Comparable umbrella/advocacy role but operating at regional rather than national level.

Direct peers

• ErwuesseBildung: Luxembourg adult-education provider, co-manager of Internetstuff digital training centers with CLAE. Comparable adult-literacy and integration-training mandate in the same geography.
• FEDAS Luxembourg: Federation of non-profit associations in Luxembourg, co-developer of CLAE's e-learning capsules and direct operational partner. Closely comparable as a capacity-building umbrella for the same association ecosystem.
• Caritas Luxembourg: Major Luxembourg social-services umbrella offering integration support, refugee assistance, and community programs. Comparable scale and country with overlapping refugee/immigrant service lines.
• ASTI (Association de Soutien aux Travailleurs Immigrés): Luxembourg-based association supporting immigrant workers and defending their rights. Closely comparable mission, country, and beneficiary base to CLAE's integration mandate.
• Maison des Associations Luxembourg: Co-manager of CLAE's Internetstuff digital training centers and a peer resource hub for Luxembourg associations. Operates as a comparable support platform for the same association community.
• Collectif Réfugiés Luxembourg: Coalition of Luxembourg NGOs advocating for refugees and asylum seekers. Highly comparable advocacy mandate; CLAE explicitly endorsed its observations on the European Migration Pact.

Emerging players

• France Terre d'Asile: French association dedicated to the rights of refugees and migrants, providing reception, legal aid, and advocacy. Closest large-scale functional analogue to CLAE in a neighboring country.
