be quoted - see below)
1. a)
- Promotion of Peace
Education curriculum at schools worldwide, specifically using the
model of Life-Link Friendship-Schools Programme
www.life-link.org.
- Arrange an international conference of
“school-networks” working for promotion of Health – Conflict
Resolution – Environmental Care/Sustainability, in order to obtain
optimal synergy between existing programmes. Such a conference
should also discuss how youth/educators/schools can play an
important role for confidence building and “common security”.
Sigtuna boarding school in Sweden would be the perfect venue for
such a conference 2008?
b)
- Official recognition from
Ministries of Education, UNESCO, National Missions at the UN,
Olympic movement, positive reactions from some of the most
“prominent” international school-networks world-wide.
c)
-
Expand the Life-Link Friendship-Schools Programme into regions of
post-war situation and regions with weak democracy. The Life-Link
programme outlines proposals for short-time youth and schools
“peace actions”.
- Life-Link would be more active in
campaigning, based on official and recognized UN days, Life-Link
proposed actions.
- Organize a conference as outlined
above.
d)
The same as 1 b (above), and closer contact with
UN/UNESCO decade campaigns such as Culture of Peace, Water decade,
Education for Sustainability, Olympic Truce resolutions, Peace One
Day, etc
2. a)

teachers working with Peace Education programmes at their schools
and within their communities!
- Promotion of Youth Immigration
and integration programmes – Active programmes for each immigration
family to have a host/supporting family for the first year at your
new living in a new community. (“Fadder-familj”).
- Physical
activity programmes at schools and within communities that promote
self-esteem and social skills and learning to solve problems within
a “constructive collaboration” frame (=Non violence). Also
beneficial for a drug free culture.
- Invite sport and cultural
stars as models for “fair play”. Soccer and FIFA as an important
example
