Organised by Wisdom In Nature (WIN) with Spitalfields City FarmWHO IS THE EVENT FOR?
Anyone seriously thinking about being involved with the ongoing project. Also present will be those already involved.
A background in community organising or Islamic ecological activism is a plus, but is not essential.
As more people organise from the grassroots, community food initiatives are on the rise. These small steps not only empower, but offer alternatives to the globalised food system that favours multinationals. At the same time, within Muslim communities awareness is growing that Islam offers ecological principles that extend beyond the term 'halal'. This project aims to contribute to a more holistic paradigm - one that empowers individuals, helps build resilient communities, and genuinely draws us towards a sustainable and more compassionate world.
Through this project, you will part in hands-on practicals, be empowered to co-learn together and engage in grassroots decision-making & organising followed up with action. The project is ongoing, and this event will lead to further opportunities to connect, organise and take action with like-minded participants.
The programme will include:
