The Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF) invites former President of the Republic of Finland President Martti Ahtisaari, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2008 for his important efforts and achievements to resolve international conflicts in many parts of the world, including Namibia, Aceh, and Kosovo.

This masterclass will be a closed event held for people pursuing a career in the field of conflict resolution and peace building. Participants will be able to ask questions directly to the President, and learn from his experiences. For details of the requirements for application, please see the information below.
