ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Peaceworker

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of a peaceworker? It's someone who helps make sure things are calm and not violent in different parts of the world.

You know how sometimes when you play with your friends, you might disagree on something or get upset with each other? Imagine that happening with whole groups of people or even whole countries. That's what a peaceworker tries to prevent.

They work with different groups of people to help them understand each other's perspectives and find ways to solve problems peacefully. Sometimes they even go to places where there is a lot of fighting or war happening, and they try to make the people there understand that violence isn't the answer.

It's a really important job because if we can find ways to solve problems without violence, then everyone can live in a happier and safer world.
