Dear friends and partners,

As the international coordinator of our new Comenius project "Common Goods and Peace"I would like to congratulate you all with the approval of the application we handed in a the beginning of 2010. The fact we've all been accepted means it is a very good project! I really do believe in it ...

We only have to realize our great plans now! Of course, we've got 2 tears to live up to our great ideals of a new green world for Peace!!!

You are all very WELCOME!!! I do hope you will feel fine in our team of teachers, coordinators and headmasters . New school, new partners, new friends. I feel very privileged to welcome you all in COMMON GOODS and PEACE.

And I also would like to WELCOME your pupils, all of them , who will join in and work hard in the comin,g 2 years to realize a greater awareness of the need to respect COMMON GOODS to reach a more PEACEFUL world! My deepest wish for them is that they 'll meet new people, enlarge their horizon and make friends for life in deep respect for different cultures, religions, traditions, schoolsystems.

I wish you luck in all the fields we're going to investigate, discover, deepen etc.

And , of course, my deepest THANK YOU SO MUCH to Arnfinn Nilsen, in Brandbu, who'll have the honour to open our COMMON GOODS forum next week, from 7 till 12 november 2010.

We're all looking forward to start working and to meet- this time for real, finally! - as new and old dear friends!

Good luck!
Warm greetings !
