PLU students Ingrid Stegemoeller and Kyle Morean, recent PLU graduate Jenn Henrichsen, PLU Communication professor Amanda Feller, and PLU School of Arts and Communication Dean Ed Inch spend 10 days in Norway observing the work of Nansenskolen, an academy in Lillehammer designed to equip student of different ethnic, political and religious backgrounds to live and work in areas plagued with conflict. Then the group will travel to five different locations throughout the Balkans to observe dialogue sessions at Nansen Centers. These centers are set up to facilitate face-to-face dialogue sessions between groups in conflict throughout the Balkan region.
