He has taught widely throughout Australia having spent 5 years at a yoga based neohumanist school, 4 years in an urban community school run by a parent cooperative, 7 years in Montessori primary and high schools, and 5 years at the University of the Sunshine Coast where he currently teaches world history.

He has presented papers on education, social change and community engagement in Taiwan, Croatia, Israel, India, Sweden and the US. In 2003, he completed a pilot study for the Queensland Department of Families as part of their project Queensland 2020: a State for All Ages.

Lennarth Bernhardsson. I work at the University of West in the field of digital media. My work are both internal consultation and education in media forms and communication with various tools on the web. Different degree in systems science, informatics and pedagogy.
I have also over a period been active in the intercultural courses and this year has visited Tanzania, Uganda, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, where I talked you about different ways of publishing and communication over the network. This, together with automatic translations provide opportunities to exchange information even if you do not speak or write the same language. A basic idea in the intercultural courses is, the individual must be able to use their ordinary language.
