Hi,
A friend of mine, Samuel, sent me this and I thought some of you might
connect to it. You could contact him directly if inspired to ...
Tim
My name is Samuel Sjöblom. I’m a student at the KaosPilot school in
Aarhus-Denmark.
The KaosPilots is a school for new leadership in the fields of
Project- process- and business design. The education aims to be “the
best school for the world”, focusing on social innovation and
sustainability.
reed more on the webb page www.kaospilot.dk
During the third, and last year, at the KaosPilots each student
chooses a focus area and set up a real world individual exam project.
The purpose of the project is to give the student an experience of
acting as a leader in the “real world” and accomplish a dream.
I’m intending to spend my third year creating a European summer camp
for Palestinian and Jewish kids, taking place somewhere Europe in the
summer of 2005. The purpose of the camp is - at the moment- to create
a new space where kids from different background can share an
important and joyful summer.
This work would include setting up an organisation, fund raising,
finding the right crew and much more. But I’m not starting with all
that at the moment.
My first steps are to start doing research, presensing if there is a
real need, check the general feelings about a camp like this, start
finding potential partners and people interested in spending time
working on this together with me. I also hope this project to be a
platform for the development of my leadership skills in the field of
facilitating Groups in Conflicts.
I’m writing this letter to you because I hope you could help me in
this initial state by answering some questions.
-What is your first thought when you read the basic idea?
-Have you heard of someone doing a similar camp before, or any other
event resembling??
-Who do you think I should get in contact with, and why?
-Would you be interested in engaging yourself with this idea, if yes,
how?
-Do you have any contacts to funds, organisations or personal donors
who you think would like to contribute to a peace initiative like > this?
-Can you recommend literature or other information you think I should
read?
It would make me really happy if you would take some time thinking
about them and write back to me.
Thank you for your attention, I look forward hearing from you soon.
