Online Course: Nobel Peace Prize: What for? Why? And for whom?

When we talk about the Nobel Peace Prize, we remember the beautiful ceremony at Oslo City Hall, but little is known about the award, its history, its reputation and its laureates.

This course addresses these issues, as well as the recent discussion of who receives it and why. Using a perspective connected with the Global South, we try to understand the Nobel Peace Prize in a broad and deep way.

An important topic for those who seek to contribute to a world with more igualdade, paz through their humanitarian action.
