The International Day of Peace provides an opportunity for individuals, organisations and nations to create practical acts of peace on a shared date. It was established by the United Nations in 1981 and since 2002 has been observed on September 21st.

The tragic events of September the 11th, seven years ago shocked people around the world. While the American President waged a war on terror as a consequence, war seemed not to be the right answer for Alfons Schabarum. The management consultant, in his mid-fifties, thought that he had to get active again to promote peace for the rest of his working life.
In this week’s Inspired Minds, Alfons Schabarum talks to Anke Rasper about his decision to give up his day job, move to Sri Lanka and work fulltime as a peace worker, and the arduous task of helping people to resolve conflicts.
