FIELD OF COMMITMENT [Feld der Begegnung] TRAINING
Field of Commitment is one the connective practices being offered in the Kassel-21 / Social Sculpture Lab.
In Kassel, Field of Commitment includes a ‘Call’ for the first 100+ people to create a ‘Place of Commitment’. A ‘Field of Commitment’ facilitator will help you create this place. [Read more about the Call]
These individual ‘Places of Commitment’ can be in your own garden, your street, a park, a public place or your school, if you are a teacher.
Each place of Commitment needs to be linked to at least one person who visits the place and holds the commitment that was taken there.
