What does it take to build real peace? The book The Peace Compass offers a four-level framework, and a practical starting point for readers anywhere in the world.
I wrote this book in 2024, first published in Dutch and later in English and also Italian, urged by the atrocities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory of the Gaza Strip following Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. My book cannot immediately change political realities, but it offers a vision for peace that we can immediately start to work on, to create long-term and long-lasting change.
It also includes many examples from all over the world, so that readers everywhere can find things that may be relevant for them. Secondly, there are practices, to that it doesn’t stay theoretical and readers can take small yet meaningful steps toward peace, no matter where they are in the world.
In this blog at Everyday Peacebuilding you can read more about it.
