THE WILL TO CHANGE THE WORLD

In 1922, Nansen received the Nobel Peace Prize for his outstanding humanitarian efforts after the First World War. After the war, Nansen was engaged in international, peace-building initiatives. He earned the Peace Prize for his work to repatriate prisoners of war, his efforts to prevent famine in Russia, his commitment to refugees, and not least his urgent appeal to the world about compassion as a motivating and life-enhancing force.
