In September 2007 FK Norway bestowed a rare honour on the FBF. We have been named “Gold Partner of FK Norway”  Tor Elden, the CEO of the Fredskorpset explained as follows:

“Over the last 7 years FK Norway and Field Band Foundation have grown to become both partners and friends. FK Norway has 460 partners in 55 countries around the world participating in the exchange programmes. …… we would like to honour one of them with a special award that only one other partner has got before: The FK Norway Gold Partner award is awarded to:


 
  • a partner who is committed to a very noble cause
  • a partner who has shown extraordinary ability to handle big challenges with moderate resources
  • a partner who has grown and developed over the years and has shown great courage
  • a partner who can serve as a model and inspiration for other FK Norway exchange programmes

And that is the Field Band Foundation!”
