is to advance the normalization of positive and lasting peace globally, by working with individuals, communities, civil society, and governmental institutions. We aim to develop a culture of peace rooted in justice, full respect of human rights, and non-violence as both the norm and way of life.
We bring a Nordic approach to conflict transformation and peacebuilding by focusing on:
Generating measurable impact on contributing to the normalization of lasting and positive peace.
Understanding the heart of a particular conflict issue, by offering new strategic thinking.
Aiming to be ‘ahead of the curve’ in responding strategically to emerging conflict issues.
Promoting cross-regionalism and gender-balance in all work-related processes and implementation.
In order to have impact, the Nordic Center’s work must be respected and credible.
Prioritizing the work in the fields with locals (individuals and groups) among civil society) and governmental institutions.
