Academy in Exile, together with the Smart Urban Areas Project of Spatial Planning at TU Dortmund University, and UA RUHR, is launching a Garden(s) of Refuge project by planting a micro-forest according to the sustainable Miyawaki method on unused urban land adjacent to the Internationale Begegnungszentrum (IBZ) on the TU Dortmund University campus. The initiative draws on the participation of university students and faculty, Academy in Exile members, and community organizations that support environmental and refugee initiatives. Financial support and in-kind donations have been provided by foundations including The Mellon Foundation, Alliance Foundation, Rudolf Chaudoire-Stiftung, and the business community. The Garden(s) of Refuge will be established in three phases, with a formal project duration of three years. The micro-forest is expected to exist in perpetuity.
