Maybe not directly responding to your question, but that could be integrated or taken as model for part of your mission. The link between good business intentions and values and good human values. The interface between bloggers and action on the field. Food for thought at this stage, but that might turn into food for the poor, help for people, children in need. If I can be of further help in that direction, don't hesitate to contact me. Hi Asi,

By the way, loved your PhD Asi. Your lecture on the Masters course last year prompted me to read it, and gave me a lot of inspiration for my PhD - so, thank you very much!! Ali Hi there,

One initial thought & you probably thought about this already.... I think one key is to realise that children live in quite a small world, roughly the size of their school and neighbourhood. They see news, music, sports and other stuff on a bigger stage but I think in that the local & mostly child populated community is where a lot of their interest & ideation sits. Because of that, rather than an uber melting pot, it might be interesting to look at twinning schools. Things like this were done if I remember right during the troubles in Northern Ireland. Today with the internet they can have daily contact; share projects, but also compare notes, let kids form clubs based on interests like soccer or fashion or music, play video game tournaments, quizzes etc. You could even do that old trick of a video wall in both locations so each school can see the other in real time. really happy to help if I can.

I'm up for this. I thought the blogging community getting together during the asymetrical warfare on Lebanon last year was really interesting because it was I think the first time that two sides in a conflict were talking to each other through the quasi warfare. It was heated, it was tense but it was unprecedented. So count me in for a brainstorm. I think seeding of internet computers in conflict areas is the most critical thing. Yes. I’m up for this.
