Many of our Alumni – in particular those of the Multitrack Peacemediation courses since 2011 – have come to know Norbert Ropers as a trainer. Recently, he was awarded with the Olof-Palme-Peace Price by the Social Democrats. He has been a teacher, mentor and role model for us since the early 1990s. On the occasion of his 81st birthday we took the opportunity to collect more than twenty short articles by respected colleagues with anecdotes and personal reflections about Norbert’s approach, lifetime achievement and the inspiration it carries until today. It has become a lovely mosaic, touching with a lot of humour and warmth on various aspects of how the field of conflict transformation and peace mediation has developed over the last four decades.
