The Nansen Dialogue Network is dedicated to fostering dialogue, understanding, and reconciliation in areas affected by conflict. It was established in Norway in 1994, inspired by the connection between the Winter Olympic city of Lillehammer and Sarajevo, a former Olympic City under siege at the time. The network operates through Nansen Dialogue Centres in Croatia, Bosnia Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, and Macedonia, which serve as hubs for dialogue and peacebuilding processes.

The network brings together politicians, journalists, teachers, parents, and pupils to engage in productive dialogue about their respective conflicts. Through this dialogue, the network aims to explore potential solutions, challenge ethnic or mono-cultural lenses, and open up possibilities for institutional change. The Nansen Dialogue Network firmly believes that dialogue and reconciliation should receive greater prioritization in conflict resolution.
