As part of #MasterPeace project #ACT! Artists Create. Together. The 'Walls of Connection' in #Sarajevo done by our MasterPeace Club and partner organization @ngo.youth.power painted at the Fifth Gymnasium Sarajevo was chosen due to its meaningful location at the neighborhood Dobrinja. During the War in #BosniaandHerzegovina (1992-1995) Dobrinja was named during the war, ‘the city’s most isolated neighborhood’.

In the wake of the ongoing crisis plaguing the English speaking regions of Cameroon with young people including women and children being the most vulnerable and greatly affected groups of persons. Hope for a better Future (H4BF) with support from local and international organizations such as Alert Fund For Youths, Faith in the Commonwealth Youth Network, MasterPeace International, International Cities of Peace, Rotary Club-Kumbo and Peace One Day brought together a dazzling array of Young talented artists and sound engineers from the North West Region of Cameroon to produce a peace song with carefully crafted lyrics.
The song in its entirety including instrumentals and the lyrics stands in the middle, remains non-judgmental resonate Peace and sells peace like a product and seeks to tell Cameroon and the world that we all have a responsibility to make this place a better place and believes it is absolutely a possibility.
“ONE LIFE” is a reflection of passion, commitment, dedication, love and a burning desire for peace in Cameroon and world world at large. It is an apolitical and non-denominational piece of song bringing out the voices of young people who believe it will be nice if there was peace and no one getting killed. It speaks the voices of the voiceless. Listen, Like, Comment and share. Peace!!

A short message from Aart Bos on receiving the Peace Award at the Peace Symposium 2019 in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Enjoy!
MasterPeace is honored to receive the ‘Peace Symposium' award
We are very proud to announce that MasterPeace has been awarded ‘Peace Symposium; for its innovative and inspirational message of positivity and ‘using culture and art in global peace actions’, presented by the city of Nijmegen in collaboration with the coalition Peace Missions Without Weapons.
MasterPeace global leader Aart Bos is receiving the prestigious award on behalf of the MasterPeace global movement, which he will dedicate to all the MasterPeace teams around the world.
In its official statement, the city of Nijmegen, which is no stranger to peace-building, stated that "The award comes as a recognition of MasterPeace's unique standpoint of positivity realizing hundreds of projects in the Netherlands and worldwide based on the mission to mobilize talents from the local communities.’ As part of the city’s celebration of the International Day of Nonviolence, MasterPeace will be recognized among two other awardees, Peace Brigades - The Netherlands for their work on assisting human rights defenders, and Eirene Netherlands for their work on nonviolent communication in the Balkans
And not a coincidence, today we also learnt that MasterPeace Sri Lanka received the N-Peace award recognizing stories of peacebuilders, and a few days ago India received National Healthcare Leadership award.
Thanks to you our MasterPeace Clubs for making this possible.
The childrens council hands the Peaceful Community Manifest to Anke Klein, deputy Major of Utrecht. ‘You guys are amazing! And we find it important to listen to the childrens opinions because we are a childrens city. I will put the Manifest on the wall of the Majors office.’ As a cherry on top, there was also a Nelson Award given by the childrens council to the neighborhood policeman Sjaak. He is chosen as the community hero by the cool kids of Overvecht!

We love these smiles & positive vibes sent to us by MasterPeace Karnataka! 😍
To celebrate the 71st Republic Day in India, their team - with the amazing Amee Dharamshi in the lead - went to a local government school, where they took out crayons and paints to teach the kids about banking and savings. The employees from a local branch of a national bank were involved as well.
This is one of our newest MasterPeace Clubs, but they're already showing such #passion and #commitment to creating change at the local level. Stay tuned with their work! There's plenty of more smiles on the way 😉
