Online alumni gathering May 2026
All members of the Pockets of Peace alumni are invited to our online Pockets of Peace pregathering at May 20th - 21st 2026. Participation on the online gathering is free, programme and registration at: peace.no/pockets2026/
Background
Pockets of Peace is the name of the alumni network/community of the Nansen Center for Peace and Dialogue (NCPD).
Our vision is to develop the network as a thriving meeting place, where contact is created and maintained. A community where experiences are exchanged and where participants can get professional replenishment, material and inspiration, opportunities for guidance and sparring with peers.
Pockets of Peace is also a meeting place for dialogue news, events, positions, where new courses can be recruited and where fertile ground can be established for potential new collaborations; both between NCDP and partners and internally in the alumni network.
The alumni network has been named Pockets of Peace because we believe dialogue exists in "pockets of peace". These pockets of peace can be found among people, cultures and meeting places all over the world. The goal of the alumni network is to gather small and large pockets of peace in the world into a larger community. Together, we can also expand these pockets of peace.
Members
To become a member of the network, members must have attended at least a course or seminar equivalent to NCPD's basic course in dialogue and conflict transformation
