ICAN was launched with a seminar at the Nobel Institute, a street demonstration in Oslo, and a concert celebrating the life of Dr. Albert Schweitzer. On Saturday 21 April 2007, students (MedFred) from the Medical Schools of Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, and Tromsoe arranged street campaigns in their respective cities. Dressed in white coats and flanked by a new ICAN banner they collected signatures on a petition to the Norwegian Government calling for a ban on nuclear weapons. They handed out ICAN flyers and envelopes with sunflower seeds.

In Oslo the students were interviewed by the Norwegian radio and the event was videotaped.

On Sunday 22 April 2007, two concerts were held in Oslo as part of "Symphony of the Earth".

The afternoon saw cooperation with the conscientious objectors on a jazz concert for youth at which four appeals on Albert Schweitzer and ICAN were contributed by Jan Helge Solbakk, Lachlan Forrow, Trygve Berge and Stine Rödmyr, respectively.

In the evening a concert was held at the Vestibule of the University Library with Christiane Engel, Albert Schweiter's grandchild, playing Mozart's piano concerts no. 6 and 13 together with the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra. Two appeals, by Inga Bostad, Vice Rector of the University, and Kjersti Johnsrud, Council member of IPPNW Norway, commemorated Albert Schweitzer's appeals 50 years ago and their relevance for the ICAN campaign. The first half of the concert with the appeals was videotaped.

On Monday 23 April 2007 was a seminar "Reverence for Life. Commemoration of Albert Schweitzer's antinuclear weapons' appeal 23, April 1957" at the Nobel institute in Oslo with the following speakers:
