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.
