Härmälä’s and Mekri’s presentation fitted quite well together. Whereas Mr Härmälä pointed to the practical dimension of peace work, Ms Mekri focussed on the theoretical level. Furthermore, both intended to work more closely with the Åland Islands Peace Institute. Demo Finland showed its interest to invite delegation from abroad to Åland in order to introduce them to the Åland Example. Mekri’s visit to Åland served as inspiration source for her development of a Peace Index, especially highlighting stronger the importance of minorities as criteria for her Peace Index.
