September 21st marks the UN-sponsored International Day of Peace. One of
the initiatives being launched this year is a 3-year project in cooperation with the
Catholic peace advocacy organization Pax Christi International called “MasterPeace:
create peace together”. MasterPeace brings together people around the world from the
arts, business and civil society who believe that world peace is possible if enough
people start to work for it. Chris Altieri spoke to the IKV Pax Christi Netherlands’
Director, Freek (PRON. Frake) Landmeter, who is involved with the organization of
the initiative. "We support 'MasterPeace' as a founding partner," said Landmeter,
"because we see [in it] opportunities to bring young people, especially, together,
in different ways." MasterPeace officially launches on the 2011 UN International Day
of Peace and ends on the same date in 2014 with a peace concert in Cairo, Egypt. Litsten
