Nansen Dialogue is the name of a project initially created at the Nansen Academy in Lillehammer in 1995, as a counter-reaction to the fact that when Lillehammer was hosting the 1994 Winter Olympics there was a war in process in the former Winter Olympics City of Sarajevo. The former head master of the Nansen Academy, Inge Eidsvåg, visited the rehabilitation ward for war injuries of the Kosovo Hospital in Sarajevo in 1994, and this visit triggered the idea of the Nansen Dialogue Project.
