According to Gina Torry, executive director of the Nobel Peace Prize Forum, the event also has the power to change the dialogue around peace by uplifting the important roles all people play in fostering a more just, amiable, and nonviolent world.<\/p>\n<p>Using a common theme, #peaceitforward, individuals spanning generations and continents shared in social media how their actions positively shape the present and the future.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201c#peaceitforward [campaign] was not just about the prevention of conflict but the promulgation of good,\u201d Torry said. The campaign uplifted \u201cthe idea that you can be an ordinary person and still do something extraordinary, which is a powerful message that the Laureates send.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s Forum concentrated on the work of 2013 Nobel Laureate The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and also featured former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, the 2002 Nobel Laureate who presented, \u201cA Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Forum welcomed more than 1,000 attendees, known as delegates, during its three days and invited these individuals to join in the important work of peacemaking\u2014a task that aligns with Augsburg\u2019s own identity and role in educating students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/augsburgcollege\/sets\/72157650857288287\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More photos (flickr)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2015 Nobel Peace Prize Forum This spring, the 27th annual Nobel Peace Prize Forum embraced a new, interactive approach in fulfilling its charge to inspire peacemaking.
