Maarifa for Transition
Programs

Programs are where Maarifa's values become visible in practice.

The work begins in place, with people, and with knowledge that already exists there. Each initiative is a field story shaped by ecology, memory, identity, and transmission.

Europe
The Hague · Berlin Soil

Soil, Belonging & Urban Food

Toward Just Transition

A transnational initiative bringing ecofeminism, Ubuntu, and Islamic ecology into dialogue across Germany, Spain, and Tunisia. The work insists that climate futures must hold many traditions at once.

Our method

We begin in place. We listen before we design. We leave value in the community.

Every program is co-authored with the people whose knowledge it honours. Documentation, translation, and reciprocity are built in from the start, not added at the end.

Co-create a program with us.

Institutions, funders, communities, and practitioners, if our approach resonates, we'd like to hear from you.
