Peace Project

Group Projects

Int – Adv
Teens & Adults
Grades 9–12

In this project, groups research various people and organizations that have won the Nobel Peace Prize. Students learn the history of Alfred Nobel's most popular prize and nominate a person or organization that deserves to win next year's prize. Students also nominate their own class members to form a judging committee that will make the final selection of the winning recipient following the group presentations.

Note: International Day of Peace (World Peace Day) is on September 21 and makes an ideal start or finish date; however, this project can be used at any time throughout the year.
