:: KO JE FRIDTJOF NANSEN?

Fridtjof Nansen (1861 – 1930) je bio jedna od najistaknutijih ličnosti Norveške. Bavio se humanitarnim radom, bio je diplomata i državnik, polarni istraživač i naučnik. 1905. je učestvovao u pokretu koji je doveo do mirnog razdvajanja Norveške i Švedske, a bio je i prvi norveški ambasador u Velikoj Britaniji (1906 – 1908). 1918. je bio delegat u Skupštini Lige nacija. Bavio se repatrijacijom ratnih zarobljenika 1920. posle I svetskog rata. Od 1921. do 1923. bio je na čelu Crvenog krsta pokrenuvši humanitarni program za pomoć izgladnelima. U početku je ovaj program bio namenjen izbeglicama iz Ukrajine i Rusije, ali se postepeno proširio i na ostale grupe i pojedince koji su u Evropi ostali bez državljanstva. Tokom konferencije održane 1922. u Ženevi, a koju je sazvao sam Fridtjof Nansen, Visokom komesarijatu za izbeglice Lige nacija je dozvoljeno da izda lična dokumenta za izbeglice pod imenom “Nansen pasoš” koji su priznale 52 zemlje. Danas UNHCR koristi ovakvu vrstu dokumenata za izbeglice. Zbog svojih napora u oblasti politike i diplomatije dodeljena mu je Nobelova nagrada za mir 1922. godine, a izabran je i za ličnost 20. veka u Norveškoj.

Naši programi se odvijaju u saradnji sa različitim institucijama kao što su Nansen akademija (Nansenskolen) iz Lilehamera, PRIO (International Peace Research Institute, Oslo), Centre for Conflict Management (CCM) iz Norveske, Responding to Conflict (RTC) iz Birmingema, Water + Wolf Arts Company iz Velike Britanije. Inicijativa za osnivanje Nansen dijalog centra je potekla od ljudi koji su pohadjali desetonedeljni seminar "Democracy, Human Rights and Peaceful Conflict Resolution" organizovan u Nansen skoli u Lilehameru .

:: MISIJA

Cilj Nansen projekta je da primenom ideja i vestina dijaloga podstakne ljude koji zive u konfliktnim podrucjima da doprinesu mirnom resavanju konflikata i demokratskom razvoju kroz afirmisanje ljudskih prava i toleranciju .

:: STA JE DIJALOG?

Osnovno obelezje Nansen dijaloga je zelja da se obezbedi neutralan i otvoreni prostor, u kome bi mogli da se sretnu, licem u lice, ucesnici ozbiljnih konflikata, kako bi ostvarili iskrenu i otvorenu komunikaciju. Svrha ovakvih susreta je da se razbije uvrezena slika o neprijatelju, kao i da se poveca stepen razumevanja o polozajima, interesima i potrebama svake od strana u konfliktu. Predavaci, zajedno sa svojim asistentima, stimulisu (kognitivnu) analizu konflikta kao takvog, kao i iskustvo "drugih strana". Teziste nije na tome ko je u pravu ili ko je najvise kriv, vec na tome kako da se izgradi postovanje prema demokratskim principima, ljudskim pravima i mirnom resavanju sukoba, sa ciljem da se unapredi drustvo u buducnosti. Ovi principi su zamisljeni kao alternativa nacionalnom sovinizmu i etnickoj lojalnosti .

:: WHO IS FRIDTJOF NANSEN?

Fridtjof Nansen (1861 – 1930) was one of Norway's most prominent figures. He was a famous humanitarian, polar explorer, scientist, diplomat and statesman. In 1905 Nansen took part in the movement that led to the peaceful separation of Norway and Sweden and served (1906 –1908) as the first Norwegian minister to Britain. In 1918 he was a delegate to the Assembly of the League of Nations. He arranged for repatriation of war prisoners in 1920 after the First World War. From 1921 to 1923 he had general charge of the Red Cross and initiated humanitarian programme for famine relief. In the beginning this programme was aimed for 2 million Ukrainian and Russian refugees, but gradually it was spread to all groups and individuals without citizenship in Europe. During the conference held in Geneva in 1922 and summoned by Nansen, League of Nation High Commissariat for refugees was permitted to issue identification document for refugees, named Nansen passport, valid in 52 countries. Nowadays UNHCR uses this model for documents for refugees. For his efforts in the field of politics and diplomacy he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1922. He was chosen as the man of the 20th century in Norway.

:: NANSEN DIALOGUE CENTRE SERBIA

Nansen Dialogue Centre Serbia is a nongovernmental organisation established in Belgrade in December 1999. Our Centre works on the whole territory of Serbia.Nansen Dialogue Centre Serbia was the second Nansen Dialogue Centre established in the region of former Yugoslavia.

The initiative for the establishment of Nansen Dialogue Centres came from the people who attended a ten-week seminar on "Democracy, Human Rights and Peaceful Conflict Resolution", organised and held at the Nansen Academy in Lillehammer, Norway .

:: MISSION STATEMENT

Nansen Dialogue will, through applying the ideas and skills of dialogue, empower people who live in conflict situations to contribute to peaceful conflict transformation and democratic development with promotion of human rights .

:: WHAT IS DIALOGUE?

Nansen Dialogue is marked by the wish to provide a neutral and open space where the different actors in a serious conflict can meet face to face in truthful and honest communication. This to break down the enemy images, as well as to increase understanding of each other's positions, interests and needs. Facilitators and lecturers try to stimulate the cognitive analysis of the conflict itself and the experience of "the other's" position. The focus is not on who is right or the most guilty, but on how to build respect for democratic principles, human rights and peaceful conflict resolution for future improvement of society .
