Attention peacemakers: The 24th annual Nobel Peace Prize Forum will take place in Minneapolis on March 1-4, 2012. The Nobel Peace Prize Forum is a unique civic learning experience that brings Nobel Laureates, civic leaders, and scholars together with students and other citizens. As the Norwegian Nobel Institute’s only such program or academic affiliation outside of Norway, the Nobel Peace Prize Forum has a special mission: to inspire peacemaking by celebrating the work of Nobel Peace Prize winners. The event is open to the public and people of all ages are encouraged to attend. The Forum is coordinated by Augsburg College and the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota.
The 2012 theme is “the price of peace.” More event information will be available over the next few months, but a number of dynamic speakers have already committed to speaking including:
F.W. de Klerk, former President of South Africa, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
Sakumzi (“Saki”) Macozoma, business leader and former Member of the South African Parliament
