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.
