What if all the children of this world received the Nobel Peace Prize?
On World Children's Day 2025, the World Child Forum made an extraordinary appeal to the global public: In 2026, all children on Earth should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
A new measure for our time
Two billion children. One Nobel Peace Prize. Not symbolic gesture - new standard. When every decision must ask "Does this serve children?", everything changes. Politics. Business. Society.

Questions seeking answers
We are still figuring things out. Is this legally possible? What would the impact be? How do we ensure children's voices are heard? We share what we know so far, inviting others to help shape the answers and add new questions.
How ideas really travel - through people
Now that question needs voices like yours. At tables where you already gather. On walks where you already think. When you ask: "What if all children were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize?" Share what stirs. Not because we asked you to. Because the question won't let you go.
Who's behind this?
The World Child Forum (WCF). Since 2021, we've been asking different questions. Not protesting - playing. Not calculating - imagining. We believe questions matter more than answers. Because that's what children do - ask the questions adults stopped asking. Want to know more?
