Urban gardening Peace Project
Under development by Burcu Eke-Schneider
The Urban Gardening Peace Project is located on the grounds of the Alevi community of Wuppertal and works closely with it. The community garden invites different cultures and people to establish a peaceful relationship with each other and at the same time to resume the dialogue with nature. The peace garden is also intended to contribute to the greatest possible biodiversity in urban areas.
🌱☮️We are a group of peace thinkers. We want to invite different cultures and people to establish a peaceful relationship between people and at the same time resume a dialogue with nature.Our goal is: living together in diversity.
Inclusivity
We cordially invite everyone to participate in our peace project, regardless of age, gender, political views or origin. Previous knowledge of gardening or peace work is not required.
Strengthening of women
We would like to encourage women in particular to participate in the project and further strengthen their social significance. It is important to us to include their creativity and their great collective knowledge about plants and seeds, medicinal properties etc.
Peace
We are determined to create and maintain peace. The framework we have created should be understood as a protected space. We do not tolerate defamation or violence towards other people, neither in language nor in behaviour.
Climate Justice
In our peace project we feel obliged to contribute to more climate justice in an urban environment. We would like to contribute to the reflection on a more sustainable and just life and to a more conscious behaviour.
Biodiversity
The Peace Garden is intended to contribute to the greatest possible biodiversity in urban areas. Nature is a network of the most diverse forms of life, everything is connected with everything else. With the Peace Garden, we respect the dependence of humans on nature as part of nature.
