ICT4Peace’s Daniel Stauffacher was privileged to attend President Martti Ahtisaari’s Crisis Management Initiative (CMI) 10 Year Anniversary Celebration on 19 April in Helsinki. Over 700 people and many more online followed a most fascinating seminar on peacebuilding (http://www.everypeacematters.com) with President of Finland Tarja Halonen, the Finnish Foreign Minister Alexander Stubb, Stephen Heintz of Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Ambassador Swanee Hunt of the Institute of Inclusive Security, Emanuel Jal, recording artist, actor and activist, Afif Safieh, Palestinian Diplomat and Tuija Talvitie CMI’s Executive Director. The event was concluded by extraordinary lectures by the two Nobel Peace Prize Winners Martti Ahtisaari and Kofi Annan. The proceedings are recorded on Twitter.
CMI and ICT4Peace are partner organisations and have worked in close cooperation since 2004. President Martti Ahtisaari is chairing the ICT4Peace Policy Advisory Board.
