We started our last day of running in Norway with big smiles!

Our first meeting was at  Forskningsparken Montessori barnehage.

We introduced the runners by singing a children song about friendship from the Balkan countries

"In this World there is an empire, In it friendship reigns. In it everything is beautiful, in it everything is gentle, In it everything is joyful!

...followed by " The World Harmony Run Song"! Thank you for singing along with us!

...holding the Peace Torch is always a highlight!

Thank you so much for a sweet meeting! We really enjoyed our visit! Hope to see you again!

...on the way to the next meeting...

Our next meeting was Frogner International Pre-school!

Which is a place for children to shine,

Three off the fastest runners performed the special race...

...and demonstrated what friendship means.

...after couple of games, we went outside so everyone could hold the Peace Torch!

...the youngest ones...

...as well as grown ups...

Children performed for us song with movements:" When you are happy sing loud Peace Run...", which was rephrased from famous children song "If You're Happy and You Know It." It was beautiful!

Thank you so much for a most joyful meeting!

Children made the oneness train, so we did the same!

We had a lot of fun! Everyone was connected.

Well, almost everyone! :)

...peace blossoms along the way...

...running trough the city...

It was an honour to pass by the Nobel Peace Institute...

...and there we playfully tried Nelson Mandela wisdom ! :)

We ring a bell for peace...

...a new friend joined us and made some peaceful steps along with us, towards our next destination, the Opera House!

which is beautiful home of the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet.

Norway is officially known as the Kingdom of Norway . We run by the Royal Palace.

The Oslo peaceful Mounted Police patrol the city, manage crowds at events, and escort parades.

Gratitude to The Fragrance of the Heart caffe and to Komal for your generous support.

We visited The Vigeland Park, which is famous for  250 sculptures!

Monolitten is one of the most famous sculptures, expressing unity among all people!

We run towards the statue of The Peace Run founder Sri Chinmoy, and the Eternal Peace Flame. A special place  chosen to end Peace Run in Norway for 2026.

Norway’s fondest and proudest child, Oslo. You are the world’s summit-peace-dream-smile-glow. -Sri Chinmoy
