Deadline: Various
In partnership with the Nobel Peace Center, the Telenor Youth Forum is a global platform that is built upon the idea of “digitalization for peace”. It provides young leaders from around the world with an arena to come together and tackle global, social challenges. The journey begins in Oslo, in December, during the week of the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony.
As a selected delegate, applicants will form teams, with each team dedicated to a social challenge and will spend your first days together, developing a plan for creating dialogue, engagement and potentially a solution, using digital technology, for how that challenge can be addressed.
The journey continues virtually after leaving Oslo, with teams carrying out their plans from their home countries. Applicants will meet again in Bangkok, where they will continue working with the Nobel Peace Center and begin the process of creating digital exhibitions about their project.

- Between 20-28 years of age
