To mark the conclusion of the project L’Arbre qui Cache la Forêt* (déi Wëll, déi lafen am Bësch), a two-day po.e.litical citizens’ assembly will take place at the Jardin du Multilinguisme in Kirchberg, home to European institutions and bank headquarters.

This unique event features a rich programme of talks and participatory workshops, accompanied by an in-situ artistic installation that offers a space for reflection and exchange around trees and forests in our contemporary societies.

This poetic and political event aims to change our perceptions, but also to create communities of interest and practice around urban environmental issues, involving all actors of a civil society: residents, professionals, environmentalists and activists.

The assembly will focus on a several areas:

  • A time for shared expertise and knowledge (researchers, philosophers, artists, writers, storytellers, educators, environmentalists, activists, healers, civil society actors, etc.).

  • A space centered around the arts, the senses and the imagination (storytelling, role-playing, singing, care, gastronomy, etc.)

  • A time for exchange and convergence between the natural sciences, the humanities and social sciences, the arts, environmental and citizens’ movements

  • An open space for democratic debate and a laboratory for collective experimentation (intergenerational, intercultural and multiperspectival)
