This collection features recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize. You'll find lessons on world leaders, activists, and even organizations that have received this prestigious award for promoting peace and resolving conflicts. These lessons are useful if you are doing a unit on peace or if you are celebrating International Day of Peace (September 21). We also have a Peace Project that students can do in groups.

Find lessons on other non-recipient peace promoters, including John Lennon, Roméo Delaire, Maya Angelou and the 9/11 Heroes in our Famous People section.
