Dear friends and colleagues:
However vivid our memories
of our five days in Ypres may still be, many of them will eventually dwindle
in the course of time. This web site is a means of preserving memories and
exchanging greetings, but hopefully also an opportunity to share ideas and
experiences. Any topic may be of interest. You are all invited to contribute
to the site by writing a few lines in the
guest book
or by mailing me: asbjorn.kolberg@hint.no

The course participants also had the pleasure of taking part in the launch of the English language version of an anthology of extracts, short stories and poetry on the theme of war and peace in literature for young people: In Times of War . This anthology which is part of the Comenius project has also been published in Dutch and Portuguese.
