Fredskorpset

Fredskorpset lets young people from different parts of the world meet and work together to strengthen understanding between North and South in a globalised world and to increase expertise in international questions.

Through partnerships between Norwegian companies, enterprises and organisations with enterprises in the South, the aim is to exchange personnel and expertise among themselves. Such an exchange can attract financial support from Fredskorpset.

It aims to:

• Promote reciprocal learning
• Help participants to integrate their know-how and experience into their own societies
• Help to develop and strengthen civil society in developing countries
• Strengthen local organisation and democratic structures in developing countries
• Enhance the ability of the people to set and achieve their own development goals
• Promote greater participation by developing countries in international cooperation
