Workshops
An important element of Guan Eden are the workshops. Here activists, artists and educators come together. In the workshops, they can expect input on the intersection of art and activism, on working with children and young people, and on high-profile campaign management. In this way, they will be supported in developing their ideas for communicating environmental issues and raising awareness of sustainability to children and young people.
Campaigns
The campaigns are developed from ideas of teachers, activists and artists from the workshops. They are mentored in the conception of child-friendly educational methods for environmental protection and then financially supported in their implementation.
Here is an insight into the 2022 campaigns from different cities in Iraq:

Exhibitions
Another element of the Guan Eden project is art exhibitions on environmental protection and sustainability. In different cities of Iraq, artists involved in the campaigns exhibit their works and thus initiate pressing discussions about society, the environment and art.
Environmental Carnival
The Environmental Carnival is the result of the artworks and campaigns created during the year. In Baghdad and Mosul, street campaigns and art exhibitions are used to raise awareness of environmental issues in Iraq among the wider population and political representatives.
