2016 Nobel Peace Prize Forum News and Tickets

Nobel Peace Prize Forum Overview (and discounted tickets)

One of the criteria set out by Alfred Nobel for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize is for the holding and promotion of "Peace Congresses". The Nobel Peace Prize Forum is shaped from this vision. For over 27 years, the Forum has been one of only three programs officially associated with the Norwegian Nobel Institute (the two others are the Nobel Peace Center and the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo). The Nobel Peace Prize Forum is hosted by Augsburg College and held annually in Minneapolis.

The Nobel Peace Prize Forum provides an important, highly visible international platform for advancing the work of the Nobel Peace Prize laureates. By bringing together laureates, leaders in government, business, academia and civil society to think together and take action – the Forum's work advances dialogue around drivers of conflict, emerging threats to peace and security, and situations that may have fallen off the international radar.

The Nobel Peace Prize Forum focuses on five key areas critical to sustainable peacemaking and peacebuilding, with an aim to advance dialogue and action on:

1. Disarmament
2. Poverty Reduction and Food Security
3. Environmental Sustainability
4. Human Rights
5. Global Health Systems

These core areas are also explored through a set of crosscutting issues including gender, inter-religious dialogue and education. The catalytic work of the Forum continues throughout the year across smaller dialogue initiatives, the "PeaceitForward Campaign" and an educational and outreach platform that advances the Forum's peacemaking and peacebuilding efforts.

Stakeholders & Beneficiaries: Nobel Peace Prize Laureates; youth across the globe, including students; policy makers, including governments and international organizations; academic professionals and institutions; civil society leaders and activists; business and private sector actors; those living in fragile, conflict and post-conflict situations.

The Forum gathers a diverse range of individuals and organizations that do not always share the same space or understand each other: e.g. policy makers and academics; business leaders and policy makers; and established professionals and youth (who often bring innovation and renewed energy/optimism).

Nobel Peace Prize Forum Themes (2016 & 2017): The Nobel Peace Prize Forum will be centered around the five core pillars, with a specific focus each year on work of 1-2 Nobel Peace Prize Laureates. The 2016 Forum will concentrate on the work of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Kailash Satyarthi (2014), who has dedicated his life to ending child labor and child trafficking. It will also look at the peace and security implications of, and connections between, human trafficking, migration, refugees and climate change. The 2017 Forum will focus on the Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet (2015 Nobel Peace Prize Laureates) and effective strategies for durable national dialogue processes. The Forum will extend an invitation to Malala Yousafzai for 2018.

The Forum Dates: In 2016, the Forum will take place from June 6-8. In 2017, the Forum will take place around the same timeframe: late May or early June. The 2017 dates will be confirmed by Spring 2016. The annual date changed due to a shift in leadership at the Norwegian Nobel Institute to accommodate the Nobel Institute's calendar.

A Delegates System: Each participant who comes to the Forum will be considered a "delegate": someone who is there – either individually or as part of a group - to peace-build and take action around the 5 core pillars. Each forum has space for 650 in-person delegates, with additional spots available through live streaming. Some academic partners are now instituting a competitive delegates process for their representation at the Nobel Peace Prize Forum (e.g. Villanova University and Sacramento State University.) The Forum encourages academic partners to plan Spring or Summer courses around this experience.

Augsburg Staff, Faculty and Student Discount: 30% off ticket prices. Promo Code AUG16. Tickets are publicly available at https://nppf2016.eventbrite.com

Thematic of areas of possible interest to academic faculty and students: Peacebuilding, conflict prevention, human rights, child rights, child labor, human slavery, poverty, food insecurity, disarmament, gun violence, civil society, dialogue processes, peace processes, inter-religious dialogue, mediation, international law, international politics, constitution building, democracy, political reform, countering violent extremism, climate change, environmental sustainability, the Paris Agreement, women's rights, women/peace/security, conflict-related sexual violence, education, economics, global heath, leadership, art/peace, sports/peace, business/peace.

Additional Associated Programs: The Youth Forum will be held on June 7, 2016, in Si Melby Hall at Augsburg -- formerly called the "Youth Festival," it is a one-day event for high-school students led by the organization "Youthrive" based in the Twin Cities. The Peace Scholars Program is a cooperative program for students enrolled at the Norwegian-Lutheran Schools; 2016 Artists & Exhibits; 2016 Expedition by the Outward Bound Center for Peacebuilding NYC (cooperating with local Outward Bound branch in Twin Cities).
