Every two years the schwelle Foundation selects nominees for the International Bremen Peace Award. With this award we honor people and organizations that set a good example in their work for Peace, Justice and the Integrity of Creation.

With this award we make visible encouraging examples of convincing peace work that have yet remained unknown to the broader public.
The next Peace Award will be presented in May 2026. The call for applications will be published in spring 2025.
