MasterPeace

MasterPeace is a new international peace initiative, founded by Ilco van der Linde, with the major goal to connect people and involve them in peace building. The goal is to mobilize millions of people -amongst the international civil society – to do work for the sake of peace in the broadest sense, including (social) sustainability, the reduction of (armed) conflicts (on both private and global levels) and international collaboration. The MasterPeace head quarters is based in Egypt and run by Ilco van der Linde’s companion Mohammed Helmy, the former Dance4Life Egypt project leader.

Official Launch

On the 21st of September 2011, MasterPeace was officially launched in 16 countries. In Europe this was done in The Netherlands combined with a flash mob in the main hall of the busiest Railway Station of the Netherlands, Utrecht. During the morning traffic 30 VIP and singers climbed on several stages and performed John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ and ‘Something Inside So Strong’ by the South African freedom fighter Labi Siffre. The show was directed by the well known Dutch artist Leoni Jansen.

Goals

By connecting people, exchanging ideas, knowledge and creativity, MasterPeace believes we can work together and deliver on four important goals:

- Creating a world with less (armed) conflicts;

- No nuclear arms;

- More international co-operation and unity so opportunities are shared equally (Millennium Development Goals)

- More positive attention and support for peace projects

MasterPeace Peace Concert

On the International Day of Peace 2014 (21st of September) MasterPeace will organize a large peace concert at the pyramids in Cairo. During this concert, top artist from 14 world’s major conflict areas will perform together. Many popular artist with ‘power of speech’ and many fans from conflict area’s like North and South Sudan, Russia and Chechnya, Pakistan and India, Israel and Palestine, bringing a message of togetherness and positivity, and a message to push back armed conflicts and nuclear arms. The event will be broadcasted internationally. One of the other eye-catching moments during the MasterPeace Concert will be the performance of world leaders an musicians side-by-side in the MasterPeace WorldBand. Already Nobel Peace laureate Desmond Tutu and the Colombian Grammy Award winner Juanes are part of the band. Tickets for the concert will not be for sale and can only be deserved by actually doing something for peace. Actions must be taken between the official launch of MasterPeace in 2011 and the International Day of Peace in 2014.
