Drzewiecki is a gender-responsive education specialist for the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) in Rome, Italy. JRS is a humanitarian organization that is active in 57 countries around

the world. It serves over one million forcibly displaced people and members of host communities, primarily in the areas of education, livelihoods, reconciliation and psychosocial

support. Drzewiecki will share her stories and strategies about harnessing the presence and power of beauty to heal and sustain the fight for change and sustainable peace in our

world.

The St. Norbert Ambassador of Peace demonstrates the qualities of a peacemaker in a consistent and outstanding manner: respect for persons, promotion of dialogue, nonviolent

conflict resolution, reconciliation and forgiveness. The award honors Norbert of Xanten’s legacy of reconciliation by recognizing an individual who has been an influential advocate

for sustainable peace in the world.
