People meeting people
Fredskorpset - FK - facilitates the mutual exchange of personnel between organisations and businesses in Norway and Africa, Asia and Latin-America. Our mandate is to contribute to a lasting improvement in economic, social and political conditions around the world.
We know that creating meeting grounds for different people also leaves behind new and lasting knowledge, understanding and involvement. In sum this makes the world smaller and reduces the distance between people. Therefore we provide ordinary people with an opportunity to work in a different country for a longer time period as FK-participants.
