2024 Peace Scholars Conference
Six colleges founded by Norwegian-American immigrants in the 19th century came together to sponsor an annual summer Peace Scholars program in Norway, designed to deepen students’ understanding of dialogue and conflict by learning about Norway’s approach to these topics both domestically and abroad.
Students are currently elected through an application and interview process as Peace Scholars—from Augsburg University, Concordia College (Moorhead), Luther College, Pacific Lutheran University, and St. Olaf College—to be awarded a seven-week academic experience including a dialogue-focused pre-week. The Peace Scholars program is an outgrowth of the Noble Peace Prize Forum. The forum was founded in 1988 by the five-college consortium of Augsburg, Augustana (Sioux Falls), Concordia (Moorhead), Luther, and St. Olaf.
The 2024 Peace Scholars conference will include presentations from the 2023 Peace Scholars and a keynote speech: The Rule of Law—The Path to Peace by the Honorable John R. Tunheim, U.S. District Judge for the District of Minnesota. The conference is free and largely open to the public—with a few private engagements—and we welcome you to join us, learn with us, and meet others with a passion and dedication for peace!

Pop-Up Julemarket at Norway House
The ever-popular Nordic Julemarket, held December 1-3 at Utepils, has been a Twin Cities holiday tradition since 2016. Last year, Norway House was able to extend the Julemarket through a pop-up event in our Sundet Aula. We’re proud to announce its return on Tuesday, December 5, 2023!
Around 20 Nordic-inspired artisans and small businesses will fill the event hall at Norway House. Full windows and warm drinks and waffles make us hope for a snowy (but safe) afternoon so we can truly shop and enjoy the Julemarket with all of the Christmas season’s glittering, white backdrop.
