UWC has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize! The nomination was made by Alfred Bjørlo, member of the Norwegian parliament for the Liberal Party from the region of Sogn and Fjordane (where UWC Red Cross Nordic is located):


– Enabling youth from all over the world to meet, live and get an education together, is one of the most important things we can do for peace and to make the world a better place. Today, I have therefore nominated United World Colleges for the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize award, Bjørlo says. – UWC’s main idea of using education as a tool to create peace and connect people across borders, is wholly in the spirit of Alfred Nobel. In my opinion, UWC is a an excellent candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize, not the least in a time when we experience increasing levels of conflict between countries and people in many parts of the world.
