Many small, local steps may lead more effectively to peace than big dreams of a perfect state. This principle lies at the heart of an innovative approach to conflict mediation developed by Kenyan mediator Dekha Ibrahim Abdi and ETH peace researcher Simon Mason. In this podcast, Simon Mason and Kaltuma Hassan Noorow, the daughter of the mediator who died in 2011, talk about their mediation experiences in Kenya as well as in Switzerland and the unconditional will to work - and live - for global peace, not for hatred.
