Meeting of climate activists, artists, philosophers and lawyers, organised in collaboration with the Permaculture School
The Akadimia Platonos Jungle* is launching a call for an integrative protection of commons, biodiversity and cultural heritage, for the relevant European legislation to seek inspiration in animist cosmologies, for the education system to transform through indigenous forms of knowledge, and for the separation between culture and nature to be overcome.
*In Greek, the gender of the word ‘garden’ (ο κήπος) is masculine, so Akadimia Platonos, updating itself, has now become a jungle (η ζούγκλα), which, in Greek, is feminine.
