As part of AYUDH's 7th European Youth Initiative "Reaching New Heights" at M.A. Center Germany from 24 - 31 July 2011 a multinational group of youth renovated the park area "Heilig-Kreuz am Kiliansfloss" near Michelstadt. In the park they also installed a creative monument, carrying the "Youth Development Goals". These goals - Confidence, Understanding, Health, Tolerance, Nature, Culture, Progress, Vision - were carved into wooden poles and placed in a circle in the park. German artist Gabriele von Lutzau, who was also the patroness of the youth initiative, made a dove out of wood - using her usual tools: a chain saw and flame thrower. This dove was installed in the center of the eight poles as a symbol for peace, unity and hope.
In the presence of Stefan Kelbert, major of Michelstadt and Aristide Sambou, representative of the Diakonischen Werks Odenwald the peace monument was inaugurated on July 31st 2011.
