Conversation with Antonio Rosa, and Johan Galtung in Memoriam

Conversation with Antonio Rosa, and Johan Galtung in Memoriam

On February 17, 2024, two days before today's planned conversation with Antonio Rosa, editor of TRANSCEND Media Service, Johan Galtung, Norwegian peace researcher, mediator, co-founder of the international TRANSCEND Network for Peaceful Conflict Transformation and TRANSCEND Media Service, passed away at age 93.

Our program includes tributes to Galtung and his legacy. Antonio Rosa, who resides in Portugal, talks about the role Galtung, his close friend, colleague and mentor, played in his own transition from overcoming trauma and addiction in his native Brazil to devoting his energy to peace journalism and analyzing the worlds most intractable problems in a solutions-oriented way. He shares valuable insights into how he integrates material, intellectual and spiritual inputs, in addition to what has driven him to continually speak out and take a stand for peace, justice and the well-being of humanity, in spite of the risks often involved in doing so.
