Since the early 1980s, September 21 has been observed every year as International Day of Peace. Several peace-focused organizations take the day as an opportunity to inspire creative peacebuilding solutions. For professional mediators, it may serve as a time to reflect on the intimate and impactful nature of the work we do with parties, transforming conflicts into opportunities. The day is also a time to honor those who have made peacebuilding their life’s work. Some communities commemorate the day with festivities, while some agree to a day of cease-fire. Since few of us have escaped the impact of the Covid-19 global pandemic, the 2021 International Day of Peace theme is befitting, “recovering better for an equitable and sustainable world.”
