We would like to thank all our members and partners who made this possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The award confirms the role of FEDIL Employment Services as a key actor in promoting inclusive employment solutions and social innovation in Luxembourg.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-74284\" src=\"https:\/\/fedil.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/FEDIL-Employment-Services-IMG_4610.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"947\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fedil.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/FEDIL-Employment-Services-IMG_4610.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/fedil.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/FEDIL-Employment-Services-IMG_4610-480x237.jpg 480w, https:\/\/fedil.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/FEDIL-Employment-Services-IMG_4610-1024x505.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fedil.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/FEDIL-Employment-Services-IMG_4610-768x379.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fedil.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/FEDIL-Employment-Services-IMG_4610-1536x758.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-74281\" src=\"https:\/\/fedil.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/FEDIL-Employment-Services-IMG_4665.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1537\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fedil.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/FEDIL-Employment-Services-IMG_4665.jpg 1537w, https:\/\/fedil.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/FEDIL-Employment-Services-IMG_4665-384x480.jpg 384w, https:\/\/fedil.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/FEDIL-Employment-Services-IMG_4665-820x1024.jpg 820w, https:\/\/fedil.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/FEDIL-Employment-Services-IMG_4665-768x959.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fedil.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/FEDIL-Employment-Services-IMG_4665-1230x1536.jpg 1230w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1537px) 100vw, 1537px\" \/>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"contacts-block js-section\">\n    <h2 class=\"contacts-block__title\" data-page-navigation=\"Press contact FEDIL\">\n        Press contact FEDIL\n    <\/h2>\n            <div class=\"contact-cards\">\n                                                <div class=\"contact-card__inner\">\n        <div class=\"contact-card\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fedil.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/LAS8554-200x200.jpg\" srcset=\"\" class=\"contact-card__photo\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>\n            <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"contact-card__title\">\n        <strong>Laurence Kayl<\/strong>\n    <\/div>\n    <p class=\"contact-card__email\">laurence.kayl@fedil.lu<\/p>\n    <p class=\"contact-card__phone\">+352 43 53 66-617\n    <\/p>\n<\/div>                                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":60339,"template":"","class_list":["post-74289","press-release","type-press-release","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fedil.lu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press-release\/74289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fedil.lu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press-release"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fedil.lu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/press-release"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fedil.lu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fedil.lu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press-release\/74289\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fedil.lu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fedil.lu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
