The Greater Tacoma Peace Prize

Our Partners in Norway

The GTPP is indebted to our partners in Oslo, who welcome our recipient each year and arrange for visits to the Norwegian Nobel Insitute, the Oslo Center for Peace and Human Rights, and other organizations working for peace.  These visits are coordinated by the staff of the Norse Federation.
