This is the "Message to the World" from Konstanze Abouleish, recorded on November 19, 2021, for the 18th Workshop on Transforming Humiliation and Violent Conflict at Columbia University in New York City, December 9 – 11, 2021. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, this conference had to take place online. See how her message was embedded in the workshop on Day Two at https://youtu.be/uyUl3mzirS0 .

"Messages to the World" are a contribution to the World Dignity University Library of Ideas to be shared with the world and, hopefully, inspirational for future generations. 

Konstanze Abouleish was born in Germany, grew up in Greece, and came to Egypt in 1976. Since 1982, she is living and working on the Sekem farm, around 60 km northwest from Cairo, Egypt. She started with cheese processing, and since 1988 joined the kindergarten and school. In 1995, she started NatureTex, a company producing organic cotton textile garments, where she is still involved. She is the Co-Founder of the Sekem Future Council, and part of the music life in Sekem from the very beginning.
