National or international? Lama Ole from the Book retreat
April 5th, 2008 In: Resident reportsVery interesting questions have appeared in the recent time. Should we create any „national“ rooms in the EC? Should we have a Polish room, Czech room, Swedish room, Russian room or should we rather live together with no national „borders“? And what does it mean to live here or have a room here?
Those questions were answered by Lama Ole today:
Being here I had to rethink my idea of giving every nationality a
room. It simply doesn’t work. Actually it´s to be international and
not national that one goes here. So to make rooms for the countries
would be counterproductive and also we speak everywhere English.
Sometimes I’m a bit unpractical and I was not aware of those national
divisions in Europe which it is the goal of the center to overcome.
All have same conditions. No country has a special room, the residents are chosen and here for their function and not for their nationality.
Wish you all the best,
yours always Ole
