We invite you all to join the Nobel Peace Conference 2026!
From Nepal and Kenya, via Serbia, to Brazil and the US: Join Gen Z leaders in conversation with Nobel Peace Prize laureates about what democracy needs to survive.
Among the speakers are Nobel Peace Prize laureates Maria Ressa, Ales Bialiatski and Juan Manuel Santos. In addition, we will welcome UN special rapporteur Gina Romero and activists Rakshya Bam from Nepal and Wanjira Wanjiru from Kenya.
With the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Maria Corina Machado as a backdrop, this year's conference asks:
• What are the biggest threats to democracy globally?
• What lessons can be learned from democracy movements around the world?
• How can the international community support those fighting for democracy?
Although the conference is held in person in Oslo, engaging people beyond the Nobel Peace Center's walls has always been an important part of our mission. That's why the entire programme is available online, reaching audiences around the world through our website, Facebook and YouTube. We encourage you to register online to receive updates on speakers and the full programme!
While the conference takes place inside, the Nobel Peace Festival will bring these important conversations to a wider audience outside the Nobel Peace Center. The festival is free and open to everyone. Please join us if you are in Oslo on 3 September!
