The first seed was sown in 1995
The Dream of the Good has grown out of the non-violence project “The Dalai Lama’s Perspective” that was developed within the non-profit organization Det Andra. The Dalai Lama’s Perspective was implemented in secondary schools in Stockholm in cooperation with daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter and the City of Stockholm in the school year of 1995-96. The project culminated with 7,000 secondary students listening to the Dalai Lama in the Stockholm Globen Arena, in May 1996.

The methodology of the Dream of the Good has been developed within Det Andra in cooperation with “The Peace Appeal Foundation”, a foundation created by contemporary Nobel Peace Prize Laureates to build a culture of peace among the children of the world.

The Dream of the Good is today a peace and health pedagogy and a network project. The project focuses on principals, teachers, recreation leaders and preschool staff.

Maybe you could invite your colleagues to try one of the techniques that you have used in your classroom. You could do that at a teachers meeting or on a study day. Most people will find that a moment of relaxation or massage has a positive effect. Another possibility is to ask a student to come and tell, or to arrange a course.
