Men and women of peace

In this unit, we will learn about different people who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and we will find out how to write a biography of one of our classmates.

• Exercise 1

Do you know what the Nobel Peace Prize is? Read the following information carefully.

The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded since 1910 to those people or organisations that have stood out in their defence of the values of Peace and Human Rights.

This prize is awarded by the Norwegian Nobel Committee on 10 December each year.

All these people have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, but do you know who they are and where they are from?
