Thank You!
To all participants of the CEI summer conference in Aalborg.
Hope you have all had a nice summer holiday and are now back in schools, work etc. with your minds focused on new environmental pro-jects.
We think that we had a wonderful conference week here, and we want to thank you all for your contributions - your good projects, your entertainments and your kind interest and good spirit all the week.
Thank you very much and please bring our thanks on to your students.
It was a pleasure to meet them and experience their interest in the conference, in meeting other young people and in being together.
Thanks also to all you that didn’t come to the conference but both before and afterwards have shown great interest in the event. It’s so good to get your comments – to feel your interest and to learn about all the good work you are doing all around the world.
We are – among other things – trying to gather all the different elements from the conference week, and we want to have it all on the website.
If you did not send your project resume before the conference – please do it now.
If you have photoes you could send, we will put them on the web site.
Also we are very interested in all comments you may want to give – good notes that you have – etc.
Please mail us that as soon as you can.
We are vey much looking forward to receive your different contributions.

Request for flags for humanGrace Threads of Equality quilt project
Caretakers of the Environment International is proud to welcome the humanGrace foundation and the Treads Of Equality global quilting project to the 2008 Conference. This touring program invites all to contribute to the creation of several solid color quilts comprised of pieces of fabric originating from deconstructed flags of the world. The resulting monochromatic quilted banners will be exhibited around the world as symbols of global unity, harmony and tolerance.
We request each attending delegation provide a flag that would be presented to the humanGrace representatives as part of our 2008 Opening Ceremonies. Throughout the week of the conference, attendees will be invited to participate in the deconstruction process and quilting program. The resulting fabric pieces will be shown as part of the conference closing events.
