On 21-23 October, Warsaw will turn into the global capital of peace. Nobel Peace Prize Laureates have arrived in Poland to spend the next three days on discussions about human rights and key global problems. Over six thousand participants from Poland and abroad have registered to attend the event.
The World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates, held in Central and Eastern Europe for the first time, is guided by the motto "Stand in solidarity for peace - time to act". Piotr Gulczynski, President of the Executive Board of the Lech Walesa Institute, emphasises that this year's motto gained a special significance: "Thirty years ago, President Lech Walesa was awarded the Nobel Prize for his commitment to the peaceful resolution of the problems faced by Poland. His actions were an expression of the unique sense of solidarity the Polish nation presented in its struggle for freedom and independence. Today, in the age of raging conflicts, the world needs the idea of solidarity as badly as Poland needed it three decades ago."
