Get inspired by our Laureates' incredible courage and dedication for a better future with these 10 videos, podcasts & articles from 2016. We hope you will enjoy this selection of moments that #InspireChange. 
Sheila Watt-Cloutier and the Climate Trauma
Sheila Watt-Cloutier shares her personal experience of the Arctic and describes the powerful culture of the Inuits in this video.  She reminds us that ice is a very big part of the Inuit identity but also a common ground of the planet that connects us all.

"Remember We Are One"
Watch and get inspired by Prof. Anwar Fazal's beautiful poem "Remember we are one". A leading figure of the worldwide consumer movement, Anwar Fazal became an Alternative Nobel in 1982. Today, he shares his wisdom as a director of the The Right Livelihood College, among other endeavours.

 The Courageous Speech by Mozn Hassan at the Award Ceremony
Mozn Hassan's courageous speech at the 2016 Award Ceremony is another great source of inspiration. The Egyptian feminist was banned from leaving her country to attend this year's Award Ceremony and had to deliver her speech via video. While Egyptian authorities are increasing the pressure on our Laureate, the Foundation has decided to show its solidarity by sending a delegation to Cairo to present her with the Award in March 2017.

A rare source of hope in Syria, this stunning article published in October in the Time shows the amazing work done by modern heroes of the Syria Civil Defence.
