Why are you passionate about e-learning and Sharing Awareness?
I believe that ICT in general and mobile technologies in particular have enormous potential and can be a prime enabler of positive change. Sharing Awareness can certainly extend this outreach, by using ICT tools, to marginalized communities around the world where new knowledge, pedagogics and innovative solutions are needed to address local problems, and later bouncing these benchmarking ideas to other part of the world with similar situations. I believe that a teacher’s role is very instrumental in any society and that they can bring about sustainable changes and welfare by implementing theory into practice and encouraging problem-based and life long learning approaches among younger generations.

Why are you passionate about e-learning and Sharing Awareness?
My experiences of this work include sharing knowledge and experiences, locally and globally. To see examples where children practice their rights and learn school subjects at the same time makes my work develop in many ways. It shows how the children can become active citizens and use their creativity, while also expanding their knowledge at the same time. These children are the entrepreneurs of the future. The working methods used, where we cooperate with local partner schools and adapt the course content after local needs, makes the teacher training very flexible. I am grateful to be a part of Sharing Awareness. Passion for learning!

Why are you passionate about e-learning and Sharing Awareness?
After being outside the country for over 10 years, a trip to Ghana in 2007 painted such a shocking picture of how people lived their lives, and the educational gap between the rural communities and the urban communities was so vast that the passion to get involved was immediately realized. It was a fact that through technology, the gap would be bridged. Since then, I have devoted my efforts to something I am very passionate about, that is helping my fellow man to also achieve in life.
