CREATING THE NEXT GENERATION OF NOBEL PEACE LAUREATES
The Nobel Peace Prize, an emblem of human aspiration for harmony and progress, has historically celebrated individuals and organizations who have made extraordinary contributions to fostering peace and resolving conflicts. However, as we navigate complex geopolitical landscapes and confront emerging threats, there arises a pressing need to cultivate a new group of peacebuilders equipped to tackle the challenges of the 21st century. The PeaceJam organization has a mission of finding and mentoring the next group of peacebuilders. This case study delves into how we built a platform to assist in this mission and find the next generation of Nobel Peace Laureates who will inspire, empower, and support individuals dedicated to advancing peace and reconciliation worldwide.
