PROGRESS: Has your organization seen

action and in your constituency during the first half of the Decade? |
A
Peace Symposium has taken place in Jondal each summer for 5 years, with
visiting lecturers like prof. Johan Galtung (TRANSCEND), prof. Ole Mjøs
(head of Nobel Committee) - up to 200 participants at each event.
NORDIC PEACE ACADEMY AND 'MEDIA AND COMMUNICATION' (high school) under the same roof.:
- We are now in the process of establishing a NORDIC PEACE ACADEMY - incl. university level courses as well as open courses.

We have applied for permission to establish a public school which will
offer studies in Media and Communication, as well as grant
qualifications for higher education (university) - this school will
channel/work with the themes and ideas/philosophies of the peace
academy

If we get an approval to establish the Media and Communication school
(which will live in 'symbiosis' with the peace academy) - this day will
be very important! This will be a day for the students to come up with
innovative ideas in artistic expressions, political theatre, show
films, have cross-the-globe communication, light show, concerts, etc.
