career history and accomplishments

 

In-service Training:

I have attended two IBO Diploma Programme Summer Workshops for teachers new to the programme. The first in Vienna 2001 on Economics and in Gdansk 2003 on History.

Together with my collegues I have done various study tours:

In 2001 we went to Berlin, studying the terror of nazism and communism.

In 2002 we did a Battlefield Tour arround Somme and Ypres studying the horrors of World War 1.

In 2004 we went to Verdun and Sedan studying the French-Germans Wars of 1871 and World War 1.

In 2005 we went to Normandie, Bastogne and Emden, continuing our studies on the battlefields.

This February I am going to Berlin with 2 collegues and in June the History Department is going to Brussels and Arnheim.

Trips with students:

I went to Budapest in 2000 with a collegue and 20 students, the students lived with hungarian families and then they visited us a couple of months later.

In 2003 I went with a collegue to attend the Euroscola in Strassbourg with 25 students. We are going again this March with 30 students.

I am planning to make a trip with my IB-students to Berlin in august 2007 in order to introduce them to the Cold War chapter that we will study then.

Other activities on the school:

In 2003 Sweden held a referendum on whether to change our currency to Euros or not, I was responsible for the School referendum orginizing debates and inviting members of the European Parliament to come to our auditorium to speak. When we have election again now in september 2006 I will be in charge of booking the visits to our school, my aim is to be the first to get our Prime Minister to come.

In November 11 2003 we had a thematic day, organized by the History Department, called “Never again Verdun”. I made a video presentation on Human Rights.

In 2004 we organized a Model UN were I participated with a class. We continued this tradition in 2005.

I am a member of the school’s Internationalization Group and find these kinds of questions very interesting.

spare time and family

 

During my University years I was very active in the different student clubs. I participated in eight humouros student shows and participated in the student radio once a week during three years.

I have a wife and a two-year-old son, we are expecting our second child in may 2006. My wife is a Hungarian citizen and has a teacher’s training diploma from Hungary. Her subjects are History and English.
