About the Prize
For more than a decade the Student Peace Prize has been a way to support students all over the world who are doing important work to promote peace and human rights. The Prize originates from the International Student Festival in Trondheim (ISFiT) and was first awarded in 1999. The Prize is awarded on behalf of all students in Norway.

The launch of this global campaign will be in London on Monday 27th of February at 3 PM GMT, and will be streamed live through Google+ via Google Hangout.
Walk of Peace
What better way is there to honor the Student Peace Prize laureates than by giving them their own Walk of Peace?
Every second year the Student Peace Prize (SPP) is awarded to a student or a group of students who has worked to promote peace and human rights.
A few years ago the idea of creating a Walk of Fame inspired installation to honor the SPP laureates was born. This way we can ensure that the peace prize winners will be remembered and honored in the future. A design competition was initiated by ISFiT, and won by Åshild Herdlevær. February 2011 Walk of Peace was unveiled in Jomfrugata, in the middle of Trondheim’s city centre.
Walk of Peace is a project led by the International Student Festival in Trondheim (ISFiT) to commemorate the laureates of the Student Peace Prize. Walk of Peace consists of seven plaques, one for each peace prize laureate. For every new prize winner a new stone is added, and in the future we hope to see the entire Jomfrugata decorated with plaques in the name of Student Peace Prize.
