The artist has been encouraging people to participate to the project by submitting photos or drawings of their favorite places in Luxembourg. Thanks to these contributions, the artist will create a collection of artworks portraying people’s common perception of the country. It is similar to his previous 2016 project: De Lëtzebuerger Fändel.

“Throughout all the projects we have launched in Luxembourg, our leitmotif has always been to support professional, artistic, educative and social communities. We truly believe in the power of social bonds and the power of art in creating them", says Mr. György Gattyán, founder and owner of Docler Holding.

Regarding the practical contribution to his project, artist Jacques Schneider explains: “You can send portraits, drawings, photos, or anything that represents your daily life in Luxembourg. Our joint creative efforts will enable us to support the Grand-Duke and Grand-Duchess Foundation and its different actions to help those in need”.
The Grand-Ducal Family has already sent their own photos for the collection.

"The artist has already collected more than 1,200 contributions. Eng Grouss Famill aims to bring together both the residents and non-residents of the country to emphasize Luxembourg’s beauty through its architecture and landscapes, as well as the meaningful moments of life in isolation", explains Karoly Papp, CEO and Co-Founder of Docler Holding.
Jacques Schneider is a Luxembourgish artist. He draws inspiration from everywhere, and is especially known for his Kritzel collection, a fusion of photographic and pictorial art. With more than a thousand pieces, his work represents an incredible inventory of Luxembourg’s landscapes.
The artworks will be exhibited after the end of the social distancing measures. A digital version will also be unveiled on [leiw.lu](https://leiw.lu/).

In early April, Jacques Schneider launched a new collaborative art project, with the support of Docler Holding. The collection, named *Eng Grouss Famill*, aims to help the social mission of the *Fondation du Grand-Duc et de la Grande-Duchess*.

This remarkable event surpassed the organisers’ expectations by gathering 200 participants, 60 mentors and 13 jury members. The Hackathon against COVID-19 was organized by the House of Startups/Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce, Docler Holding, Junction and Farvest, and 15 additional partners joined in. A fund-raiser was also set up and the event managed to raise EUR 15.000 for the *Fondation du Grand-Duc et de la Grande-Duchesse*, which will reallocate the funds to organizations bolstering digital inclusion.

“We were happy to have twice the number of attendees and mentors we aimed for. We were also impressed by the symbolic number of 19 partners joining us for this first Luxembourg online hackathon to fight COVID-19 and its consequences. In addition, we are delighted to support the *Fondation du Grand-Duc et de la Grande-Duchesse* that will provide phones to children impacted by domestic violence through Femmes en Détresse and will give laptops to university students in need”, stated Karoly Papp, CEO of Docler Holding.

The jury included Philippe Linster, CEO House of Startups; Diane Tea, Vice President Luxembourg Business Angel Network; Serge Linckels, Deputy Director Ministry of Education; Dr. Sergio Coronado, , Founder, Lead Coach, Luxembourg Tech School ASBL; Xavier Buck, serial entrepreneur; Anouar Adlani, CIO NameSpace Group; Carlos Gonser, Engineering Manager Docler Holding; Gilbert Wolter, Sales and Marketing Director, Foyer; Kolos Kaszaly, CTO Docler Holding; Pascal Steichen, CEO SECURITYMADEIN.LU; Petrus Holm, CEO Junction; Philippe Majerus, Director Fondation du Grand-Duc et de la Grande-Duchesse and Stefan Berend, Head of Start-up Acceleration, Luxinnovation.

“We are used to tech events, but we never expected to have such an impressive online tech event. Amongst the participants, we counted over 44 different nationalities. Once again, we proved that when we work together, technology is a key element to help us all thrive and show solidarity; to educate and to shape the future; to save lives, communities, social interaction and businesses.”, said Kamel Amroune, CEO Farvest.

“At first, it might have seemed ambitious to initiate a project like this from scratch only a few days prior to the event. But we knew that Luxembourg’s innovation ecosystem, entrepreneurs, partners, startups and mentors would join us along with Docler Holding, Farvest, Junction and the Chamber of Commerce. Then as we saw all these new projects and ideas being built by the participants and progressing with the help of mentors over the weekend, most of us on the jury really felt a collective pride towards Luxembourg’s innovation ecosystem. The turnout and the results of this first online hackathon held in Luxembourg through these difficult times were outstanding. Therefore, we sincerely hope that many of these projects will capitalize on the momentum provided by this hackathon, the mentors or the partners’ special rewards to evolve into startups.”, concluded Philippe Linster, CEO of the House of Startups and President of the Jury.
