WLOE e.V. marks 5th anniversary
Since 2002 WLOE has been based in Germany. On September 23, 2003, a German non-profit association was founded, with the English name "Women and Life on Earth" and then in German: "women in international cooperation for peace, ecology and social justice." On September 23rd, 2008, members and friends marked the 5th anniversary of the association, again in the conference room of 'our' office building in Berlin. A first version of the 45 minute film "Women of Planet Diversity" was shown, and those present had a good taste of the special parts of the Planet Diversity demonstration and festival of diversity and the international conference. There was lots of viewer feedback and suggestions. Sociologist-activist Ute Sprenger presented an overview of current issues around biodiversity and genetic engineering.
And then in Bonn... On October 18, 2008, WLOE e.V. had a membership meeting in Bonn, with elections of executive committee members and an official change of the location of the association from Berlin to Bonn. From 6:30 pm friends and those interested were invited to an autumn dinner and second preview of the "Women of Planet Diversity" film. It was well received, and after additional small additions and changes will be offered publicly.
Welcome to WLOE
The Women and Life on Earth internet project began in 1999 to help connect women internationally, share information and work for ecological health and peace with justice in the new millennium. Since the year 2000 we have been based in Germany. In September 2002 a non-profit German WLOE association was founded in Berlin.
In 2008 we helped organize the Festival of Diversity and two women's workshops as part of Planet Diversity. This international demonstration, festival and conference, held in Bonn, Germany in May, brought together experts and activists from around the world working for sustainable, healthy, local and regional food production.
