Fatmire Feka @ Why Everything Must Change 2008 from Tom Abel on Vimeo.

Fatmire Feka's first-hand experience of the 1998-1999 Kosovo War inspired her to found the "Kids Club for Peace," a group of organizations that help children overcome challenges related to ethnic tensions. Her efforts in the areas of peace and reconciliation led to her inclusion in the 1000 Women group nominated for the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize. She delivered this engaging address at Why Everything Must Change (WEMC) 2008 in Oakville, Ontario, Canada.

WEMC 2008 was the first installment of an annual conference by the same name, which aims to foster awareness, dialogue and action relating to contemporary social justice issues. The 2009 conference is slated to be held on October 23-24 at The Meeting House, and will feature such speakers as Feka, New York Times-bestselling author Paul Young ("The Shack"), and author-philosopher Greg Boyd ("Myth of a Christian Nation").
