I am a peace worker from Ankara, Turkey. I began my career in journalism and in 2013 I covered the Gezi Park Movement as a freelance journalist in alternative media and international press. I was a Master-student in Peace and Conflict Studies Hacettepe University's Istanbul branch from 2014 to 2017, where I was taught among others by Johan Galtung, Jorgen Johansen, Stellan Vinthagen, Oliver Richmond, Norman Finkelstein, Joshua Weiss, Wolfgang Dietrich, Gal Harmat, Kai Frithjof Brand-Jacobsen, Zeki Ergas, Tatsushi Arai and Amr Khairy Abdalla. Hacettepe University shut down the department in 2015 but I obtained a Master's degree with my thesis subject being 'Identity-based Conflicts in between Resistance Groups during the Gezi Movement'.Since graduating from Hacettepe University in 2017, I was able to gain experience, inspire activities and realize projects. As a trained peace-worker, I was invited to presented new ideas at international conferences and realize interventions on the level of established organizations as well as in inter-personal or inter-group conflicts.My works focus on the micro-level changes for new social structures.
Burcu Eke-Schneider was born in Ankara, Turkey. After completing her Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, she worked (from 2007 to 2012) as an Editorial Assistant and then as a Freelance Journalist in the editorial offices of "Counterview" and "You have the floor" at the Turkish news channel Habertürk. She later worked closely with representatives of the International Press. Due to the increasingly difficult situation for the media in her home country, she trained as a Turkish Tourist Guide (specializing in the city of Istanbul and the architect Sinan). The unrest surrounding the occupation of Istanbul's Gezi Park was a turning point for Burcu Eke-Schneider, as she completed a Master's Degree in Peace and Conflict Studies at the renowned Hacettepe University. In 2016, she moved to Germany and initiated studies on urban, peace-based transformation in Wuppertal in collaboration with the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy, among others. Her aim was to develop new, future-oriented dialogue methods for different groups of stakeholders - especially for women - that can be implemented in any urban environment worldwide. At the same time, Burcu Eke Schneider was active in many different forums, including as a speaker at the 40th "Science for Peace" symposium in 2023 and in the same year, Engels Kultur Interview about Transformative Peace Science:''<nowiki>https://www.choices.de/bluehendes-forschungsfeld-thema-0522</nowiki>''


In all my works I seek to apply the idea of proceeding from Science to Practice. As an example, I developed and applied "Micro-level Peace-building Methods for Sustainable and Just Cities." In this context I initiated the "Creating Peace Gardens in the Urban Realm" project.https://wiki.urban-arena.eu/Urban_Gardening_Peace_Project As a pilot study it has been realized in Wuppertal in order to generate an in-depth, multi-faceted understanding of a complex issue in a real-life laboratory context. It was not only set up to analyse root-cause problems but also sought to propose culturally sensitive solutions by the help of peace-building approaches. The goal was to use "nature-based micro-level solutions" as a "new forms of dialogue method" for a sustainable future. It resulted as an alternative eco-education model:'out of school space' for intercultural and interreligious dialogue.I am an UrbanA Fellow and Tag des Guten Lebens Advisory Board member in Wuppertal.
