On Wednesday 3rd April 7 of our students visited the Nobel Peace Centre in Oslo for an action packed day of workshops that culminated in a panel discussion. Amalia (Norway), Asta (Denmark), Maya (Morocco), Mubashra (Pakistan), Rofayda (Egypt) and Ryan (China) worked together  to put on three workshops for upper secondary school students  from Oslo around the prompt “What are you willing to sacrifice for a cause you believe in?”.

In the evening, we were invited to host a panel discussion as part of the Nobel Peace Talks series. The Nobel Peace Talks events aim to highlight topics that are relevant to the current Nobel Peace Prize winner, Narges Mohammadi, a women’s rights activist from Iran who was awarded the prize in December 2023. We chose to host a panel titled The Power of Youth Activism which involved a discussion of what it means to be a young person involved in activism, both in

 Norway and around the world. Our students joined on stage by Marianne Dahl, who works on non-violent activism at the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), and Norwegian climate activist and UNICEF ambassador Penelope Lea. The panel discussion was moderated by second-year student Asta Nuka Fruelund Gabriel. A recording of the panel session is available to watch below.

This was a fantastic learning experience for our students and we were pleased that the events gave us a chance to reconnect with alumni and partners in Oslo, as well as to meet new friends. We want to extend a special thank you to the Nobel Peace Centre for partnering with us to make this event happen and we are excited about the opportunity for more collaborations in the future.
