BEING DOST WITH ALL HUMANITY...

Dear All,
I have had two lovely Dosts: Evelin and Linda. I first met them in cyber world in 2004 through a common friend of us from Global leadership Forum in Istanbul. Evelin offered me to organize the 15th. Conference of her Network and I accepted it. Thus, I have become the General Coordinator and the Convenor of the "15. National Conference of Human DHS".
They are the leaders of the wonderful network: "Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies" (www.humiliationstudies.org). Through their life styles, their behaviours and feelings, and also very fruitful activities they are good role models for the world. After the 17. Annual Conference in New Zealand, deserved a good rest. Porf. Dr. Evelin G. Lindner, the president, is in the Dialogu House of Prof.Dr. Linda Hartling and her lovely husband Rick. If you look their photo, they seem to be enjoying their life. I must confess that my mind and my heart is with them in Portland, Oregon, USA. 
If you want to learn more about the Dunedin, New Zealand Conference, please visit our web page: www.humiliationstudies.org/whoweare/annualmeeting17.php. If you are curious about the first HumanDHS Dialogue Home in Oregon which was creayted by Linda and Rick in 2009 , see: www.humiliationstudies.org/intervention/dialoguehome.php !
I have various Dosts in different parts of the world. I feel myself as a "global person" as my British dost Prof.Dr. Richard Ennals say. I am thankful to all brothers and sister living in Turkey, USA, India, UK, Germany, Finland, Norway, South Africa, Nepal, Mauritius, Belarus, China,  Poland, Sri Lanka, Phillipines, Pakistan, Iran, Egypt and many many others from various countries. We are all ONE and we join hands to make the world a more peaceful planet. I love you all.....

NEW ACADEMIC YEAR & ME...

Dear All, I start writing my Turkish blog on Blogger again. It is good. I was addressing my readers from the new Blogs I have had for a year under the names of;
https://hayalkoksal.wordpress.com and https://nonviolenceineducation.wordpress.com ). However, the Blog just in the middle of my werb page has had a very important and strategic importanve for me. I hope from then on without any restrictions I may write and be seen from then on.

I will write soon about the upcoming event with you soon concerning my course, seminars and projects. The month September is not a busy month for me however I need to make serious and detailed plans for the coming days. New year means new hopes for all. We realize the real, hidden meanings of losses after some time and we see that all the things seen as evil ones werre in fact for our goodness. That is why never lose yourself within the sea of hopelessness. If you mean "death" as "loss", you should also accept that truth as an unavoidable journey to the real "Home". Don't you think like this? Please try. Who has an endless life? In fact, you make your lovelies live when you remember of those old and lovely days with her or him. That means keeping her or his memory alive, not forgetting about or leaving behind forever.

We are going to 2002 UNESCO Peace Education Awardee City Montessori School, in Lucknow, India on 30th November-4th December 2011 to participate in the 14th ICSQCC as a group of Turkish academicians, teachers and students. In fact, that quality-focused journey is open to all parents, business leaders and NGO people. If you are interested in participating there, please keep in touch with me through my hayal@hayalkoksal.com account. Thus, you can learn the conditions of it.

I wish you a happy, healthy and fruitful academic year. With love and peace...
