_»The Ministry of Peace is a band and artistic collective that seeks to
focus on peace and non-violence through music, poetry and conversation. _
_The Ministry of Peace has been created as a reaction to the fact that it does not exist
more and stronger basic structures in the Norwegian state that support
and makes room for voices for peace and non-violent conflict management i
encounter with chaos, unrest and war. Like a handful of other countries in
world, Norway should also have its own ministry for peace. Awaiting
of this, the band puts forward some proposals for matters that the ministry could
