Commission on Education

The meeting took place on 9 September 2005 in Norrtalje Campus Roslagen which is the centre for higher education in the area.

Kurt Pettersson, chairman of the commission, described the Research School taking place at Erken laboratory for the 5th summer in a row. Among the meeting members there is also a great desire to continue the Meeting point of different cultures for youth in Hiumaa next year. There was a presentation from the Kvisthamra school regarding their Comenius project Fairy tales and European history. Children have cooperated with fellow students from Spain, Germany, Italy, France, and Romania. The project has been very successful and the school is now looking to apply for a new project. Among other things the students have done a theatre play, writing of their own books and learning about other fairy tales from all over Europe. Some persons have also visited the "pen-pals" in different countries during vacation with their families. This was followed by Lillian Westerberg from the Board of UBC who talked about the structure of the organization and her thoughts on how to find a more effective organization in the future.
