Workshop at Fieldgen with Isabel Lipthay

On June 13, 2025, ACAT Luxembourg organized a workshop at the Fieldgen Private School on the theme “Democracy and Human Rights,” led by Mrs. Isabel Lipthay, a Chilean exile. For many years, Isabel Lipthay has been visiting schools to share her testimony about Chile’s history. As a journalism student, she was actively involved during the Allende era. She experienced the military coup and the ensuing dictatorship as a journalist—a time during which she was herself imprisoned. Exiled in Germany since 1983, she continues to pass on her memories. During her encounter with the students, she shared her life story through narratives, songs, and readings of her own texts. The workshop ended with a lively discussion, in which the students were able to express their own experiences, questions, and dreams.
