Project: Commemorating as a way towards peace The Evangelical parish of Datteln is where the Christian voluntary service, nowadays known as yapcfd, was founded. The Parish of Datteln aims to remember a historical encounter, which took place after WW I during the French occupation of the Ruhr area. It happened on the Good Friday in 1923 in Lutherhaus (former parish center): the French lieutenant Etienne Bach and the German official Karl Wille found the strength for reconciliation. Following their example, representatives of many nations, which could see each other only as enemies for generations, found a good way to communicate. The root of the movement "Young activists for Peace" lay in this international encounter around 90 years ago. Lots of volunteers have learned that reconciliation is possible, even if contradictions seem to be unbridgeable. Work: In the last workcamps with the help of the local artist Ms. Ulrike Speckmann, volunteers created colorful messages of Peace to be shown in public places: They designed "benches of encounter" and a big mural in the local kindergarden. Two years ago, volunteers designed a big picture for the entrance hall of the local church. It was done as reflection of a memorial in the same room, which still shows a very militaristic and nationalistic approach. This year volunteers are invited to design benches for this room, in order to bring in the perspective of peace and reconciliation. Again the artist will help us to get a creative process of painting. For information about the artist please visit In addition to this artistic activities it is foreseen to visit the local kindergarden, to play with the children and to do some gardening there.

The Asylum Centre for asylum seekers in Hessen is located at the edge of the city Giessen. There are currently about asylumseekers in Giessen who are in Germany because of various reasons, e.g. political, ethnic, religious, persecution or poverty. Usually they stay at the facility for few months until a decision has been made about their application. Sometimes they are sent to other centers or to other safe countries where they entered the European Union, or to their countries of origin. Most of the people living in the Asylum Centre in Giessen are from Turkey, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Eritrea and Balkan countries: Young men, women, children and older people. The asylum seekers live in simple conditions and are not allowed to work or leave the district in which they live. Their permission to stay in Germany often is limited and so is their contact with the locals living in the city.
