Webmaster DN - Why a Student Peace Prize?
Why a Student Peace Prize?
When students in Norway in 1999 raised questions concerning the lack of a peace prize for students, it was with a strong belief in students’ important role in struggles for peace, democracy and human rights. They found it important to enlighten the world about students who risked their lives for the aim of a better life for themselves and their fellow citizens. Therefore, in 1999, the Student Peace Prize became a reality.
The Student Peace Prize is only one out of many prizes that every year is awarded to laureates with an aim for peace. The Nobel Peace Prize is the most recognized one, and therefore the one that gives its laureates the most attention. As well as the Nobel Peace Prize, the Student Peace Prize has its seat in Norway. Partly it was the Nobel Peace Prize that inspired the...

1999: Antero Benedita da Silva and ETSSC from East Timor
In 1999 the East Timorean student Antero Benedita da Silva and East Timor Students’ Solidarity Council (ETSSC) received the very first Student Peace Prize. Da Silva and ETSSC were awarded the Prize for their untiring and non-violent struggle against the Indonesian occupying power.

Webmaster DN - Student Peace Prize
The Student Peace Prize
Through the Students Peace Prize, students in Norway want to focus on those students and student organizations throughout the world that bravely fight suppressing and non-democratic governments. They are doing an important, but often dangerous effort. The Student Peace Prize seeks to acknowledge these efforts done by students in struggle.
Students in Norway are fortunate to have the opportunity to get education, and to have student democracy. Therefore, we want to give support and encouragement to those students who have to fight for their rights and who are willing to risk their lives to give other students a better future.
Thorvald Stoltenberg, President of the Norwegian Red Cross, and member of the Student Peace Prize committee in 2003 said, when...
