Connecting changemakers worldwide
The Nobel Peace Center wants to provide young, aspiring, visionary changemakers with the inspiration and skills to become effective leaders who can proactively use dialogue to prevent conflict, solve problems and build a better world.
The Nobel Peace Center believes that dialogue and engagement are key to creating skillful changemakers. This platform provides courses, events and dialogue communities to provide you with those skills.
This is a new, highly selective and exciting extracurricular leadership program available to master’s degree students worldwide. Candidates work with our partners for their master’s thesis, addressing great challenges related to peace, dialogue and/or sustainability.

Pilot phase
We would like to inform you that this project is at this moment in a pilot phase. We invite changemakers to join our platform to help us shape the future of the Ignitor community. In this first phase, we are open for courses, dialogue communities, events and a few other functions. We welcome you to join and explore the existing functions, and give us feedback.
Students
Students
Students seek nomination in the Ignitor Fellowship while enrolled in an undergraduate degree programme. The nomination process will last for several months, enabling the most dedicated students to be chosen for the programme.
Undergraduate students interested in the programme will be invited on to our online global community where they can participate in events, challenges and dialogues whilst networking and learning about dialogue. The engagement is central to the student’s nomination process.
