PEACE IS A PROCESS
Originally posted by Mejdi Tours
The recent PBS NewsHour story by Judy Woodruff on political violence in Northern Ireland underscores an important truth: peace is never a final destination—it is an ongoing process, built and sustained through generations of difficult work.
The piece features Rev. Gary Mason, a pivotal voice in Northern Ireland’s peace process and a longtime MEJDI Tours partner and guest speaker/guide on our tours. Gary brings travelers into the heart of Belfast and beyond, sharing deeply personal insights into reconciliation, resilience, and the challenges of healing in a society still grappling with its past while striving toward a more hopeful future.

The MEJDI team’s deep roots in social change work is where our mission comes from. MEJDI was founded by two peace-building practitioners, Aziz Abu Sarah and Scott Cooper. After leading social change programs all over the world, Aziz and Scott discovered that travel was one of the most powerful tools for creating a better planet. They decided to share their unique experiences and an unmatched network of contacts with those who aspire to become citizen diplomats.
