Join our international seminar on climate justice “Rooted & Rising”
Floods, heatwaves, wildfires, and growing social injustice show us that the world is changing fest. But in times of crisis, something powerful also emerges people coming together in solidarity, care, and resistance.
Spend a week in Darmstadt Forest connecting with young people from across Europe and neighbouring countries while exploring:
 Climate & food justice
 Activism, anti-racism & queer-feminist perspectives
 Mediation & conflict transformation
 Grief work & collective healing
 Emotional resilience & grounding practices
 Nature, connection & community
This is for young people and youth workers who want to deepen their commitment to sustainability and climate justice, while building real solidarity for challenging times.
