So, what have you been up to the past four years?

Traditional blogging plays a slightly different role than it used to. There are now plenty of arenas for fast updates, pictures, and information spreading generally. This blog has been in passive mood since Schools for the Future successfully celebrated the pilot phase of our first program Reading for the Future, four years ago. My focus has since been directed towards developing the organization and to communicate through fast and efficient channels such as Facebook, Twitter, and our website. Time has been limiting the ambitions to keep the blog live.

However, all this time I have been missing the blogging. Or, more accurately, I have been missing the writing. Because 40 words in a Facebook post or 40 characters on Twitter offer nothing of the beauty of writing, or reading. At best, they offer the beauty of communicating, and that is a different beauty altogether.

So, my aim is to revive this blog, and to bring back proper writing into my life. I will write about my passion, educational development and learning, from different perspectives. My inspiration stems from the work I do, the people I meet, the books, articles, and posts I read, and sometimes just from the air I am lucky to breath and from whatever my eyes happen to rest upon.
