A TYF delegate journey

With young and promising delegates recruited from this platform, #TYF17 is a journey that starts in Oslo, during the Nobel Peace Prize events in December 2017. It will continue through the year, with a second gathering in Bangkok, where the youth will come together once again to continue creating momentum around their social challenge. The culmination of this year-long commitment will be the unveiling of a digital exhibition, in collaboration with the Nobel Peace Center, documenting the work of the teams, the social challenges faced and the progress made.

“The Mission of The Nobel Peace Center is to inspire peace. Engaging in, and involving, young people, is essential in all our activities. We have partnered with the Telenor Youth Forum because it provides an arena for young people with ideas and passion to meet and discuss the issues that matter most in this world: understanding and prosperity for all. We are looking forward to welcoming a new group of young delegates to Oslo. You are the peace builders of tomorrow!”  says Liv Torres, Executive Director, Nobel Peace Center
