The Urban Gardening Peace Project is located on the grounds of the Alevi community of Wuppertal (AKM) and works closely with several actors in the hearth of the city. The community garden invites different cultures and actors to establish a peaceful relationship with each other and at the same time to resume the dialogue with nature. The vision of the pilot project is to create in the sacred place a nature-based conflict transformation model while facilitating intercultural knowledge exchange processes. Thus, this creative "Peacebuilding" project has a cultural and social dimension as well as a scientific approach to reduce the power of the drivers of injustice in the context of sustainable urban development.It is an important intervention for preventing violence, it works with inclusiveness to help enable emergence of a common understanding in three main ways:
First, it can support inclusive processes of just urban transition that respect diversity of cultural backgrounds and ethnicity.
Second, it can promote more environmentally friendly behaviour and attitudes among participants.
Third, it can convey new meanings of “collective struggle for a common future” in different languages, cultures and sacred places.
