About the Award: For almost 100 years, the International People’s College in Elsinore, Denmark, has worked to promote intercultural understanding, prioritizing the human being above all political or religious affiliation, that which is common to us all before that which divides us. All of this was made possible due to the vision of one man, Dr. Peter Manniche, the founder of the International People’s College. A man, who wholeheartedly believed that a school molded in the Danish Grundtvigian Folk High School tradition, could be the foundation of a long lasting peace between all peoples of the world, transcending self-interest to work together to secure a common future. Since its founding in 1921, the International People’s College has worked as a liberal peace academy, gathering young people from every part of the world to learn from each other, engage with one another and form enduring bonds of friendship, respect and mutual understanding.
