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 ...

> The KaosPilots is a school for new leadership in the fields of

> sustainability.

> 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.
