The student peace prize 2007
Send your nominations to the student peace prize!Please take a few minutes to learn about the only Peace Prize in the world to and from students.
The Student Peace Prize is to be awarded for the fifth time during the International Student Festival in Trondheim (ISFiT) 2007. The prize is awarded every second year on behalf of all Norwegian students, and is the only peace prize in the world to and from students. In giving this prize we wish to highlight the important role of students in the struggle for peace, democracy and human rights. Students efforts are widely underestimated, even though students often have the ability and opportunity to think differently, and thus to create a more peaceful world. Awarding the Peace Prize helps to get support and recognition for idealist students who work for peace and basic rights. The Peace Prize receives nominations from all over the world, and we make a tremendous effort to learn about good candidates. The nominee must be a student or a student organization who or which has made an outstanding contribution to peace, democracy or human rights.
A committee consisting of students and prominent persons in Norwegian politics and society chooses the winner of the Student Peace Prize 2007. The recipient receives an invitation to come to Norway to accept the prize at the Peace Prize Ceremony during ISFiT 2007, and will also travel throughout Norway to meet with important organizations and decision makers.
Previous winners have met with the Norwegian Prime Minister, the Minister of Development and the crown prince Haakon Magnus, to name a few. The media is very attentive to the Peace Prize and its winners. Receiving this prize is a unique opportunity to make contacts, increase media awareness and spread knowledge about oneself and the situation in one's home country.
