I went to an information session at IICD in MA and I was very impressed with the program. If there are things I need to know that will change my opinion, please tell me. It seemed like everyone there was intelligent, welcome to differ in opinion, and able to leave whenever they wanted.
Don't the Tvind overseas volunteering programs seem to fill a gap in the market? If you want to go to a developing nation and have a real chance to use your own initiative to work with indigenous innovators, educators and campaigners then the you really have few options. If you're really resourceful you could travel to your country of choice, meet up with a local NGO and make yourself invaluable to them. Not everyone can do this. If you're educated highly and have good relevant skills then you could go with one of many reknowned organisations (VSO, PeaceCorps, WHO, etc...). Good luck, but not everyone can do this. If you do not fit that profile, or you don't want to commit 2 years or more then what can you do? You could decide not to go. Or you could get involved with one of the Tvind schools. If you don't like what they do then don't do it, but really - you make your own experience when you work with them. I have been a student at Lindersvold, a volunteer in Nacala, a team leader at IICDMass. When I decided I'd had enough then that was fine and I left - no problem. Financial irregularities? As an ex TG member there were lots of questions for me to ask and answer and I was satisfied with almost everything I heard. The things I didn't agree with are things that I have also seen evident in other NGO's and all sorts of business ventures. I don't think I agree with anything competely!
To be a volunteer is still, I think a great opportunity, but it's not forced on anyone. I think some of the school policies need to catch up with huge changes in the prospective volunteers pool but hey, if you don't like what they say then just say no - don't get all sad and bitter.
Thanks to Jostein for letting me know about this site, but I'm afraid mate that I'm joining the other side of the arguement. love phil.
I seriously question people defending Tvind...

By the way, the Danish AIDS foundation have banned Tvind from abusing the red AIDS ribbon.
I think that the reason for their focus on AIDS is that it is much easier to fundraise if you say you collect money to fight AIDS. No more postcards to sell! Fashionable red AIDS ribbons instead! It is easier to explain what you are doing and there will be less questions asked...
If you read about the Hope AIDS/HIV program in Humanas own websites , it is obvius that this is just another air-castle. And the ranting style is like that of the Humana "charter" - written by Amdi himself. I once asked a long time teacher group member in confidentiality about Amdi. She (the headmaster of Lindersvold) told me they have agreed that he should be left alone, his job is to "think great thoughts" for the teachers group. His perspective on things was supposedly so mindblowing and too big for us regular people grasp. The listening to space for aliens program(check out Tvind DK's webpages about this), and the Zimbabwe headquarter, also meant to bee seen from outer space are examples of his great vision for the future.
Thanks to this site, my stepdaughter & her boyfriend were saved from ever having to go to Angola. They signed up, raised the money & had been at the first destination in Mass. for two days when her mother found this site & was able to alert them. I want to Thank you.
I just recently became a student at IICD in Williamstown Mass. One week after driving up onto the mountain, I canceled my check and drove right back off of it. I do believe that much of the information on this site is embelished, but the basic facts are true. If you are going ot dedicate one year or more of your life working for a cause you believe in, don't you think it should be one you believe in 100% beyond the shadow of any doubt. The fact that this web site even exists, the fact that any articles have even been written...what more cause for doubt do you need. To all those looking into joining any of the organizations listed on this site, think twice about it. There are thousands of organizations out there to choose from...look into some of those before commiting and giving "The Teachers Group" any of your money, because you won't get it back if you decide to leave.
If Amdi, or whomever is in control at Tvind, comes forward and defends Tvind's development and business concerns in a transparent manner, there are members of the press who will write more balanced stories -- not everyone loathes Tvind as much as Mike Durham. North Korea's recent PR campaign has won over many in the press.
If Amdi can articulate his use of business and charity for a "cause", the movement can mutate and continue for generations doing good work. Secrecy, however, invites the curiosity of journalists who will pester Tvind into the grave and beyond -- learn from Nixon's mistakes.
As a journalist who has not had the most positive experience trying to get questions answered by Tvind, I still believe in the dedication and good intentions of the vast majority of Teachers Group members (even the one who screamed in my face). One day, I hope I get to apologize to him because my questions were designed to provoke. I feel bad that, in the face of Tvind's secrecy, he could not adequately defend his organization.
So it's up to Amdi, it's up to the "inner circle" (whatever that means) to save Tvind from a handful of niggling journalists who will continue to make life difficult for other members. But, if at the end of the day, Amdi is nowhere to be found, I have to apologize for being a royal pain in the arse.

This book is so awesome and gets a person to think in so many ways and really gets a person to open their eyes to the way this evil world really works. If youve ever suspected the military or the government of a conspiracy, Mirage, a new novel by Don Passman, will haunt your dreams. A brilliant computer cryptographer is the unwitting victim of a brainwashing project, as the FBI engages a cult deprogrammer/mind control specialist to unlock whats in his mind. The book is a real page turner which leaves you wanting more, and which I definitely recommend. To get a deeper look into the book visit http://www.donpassman.com

His perspective on things was supposedly so mindblowing and too big for us regular people grasp. The listening to space for aliens program(check out Tvind DK's webpages about this), and the Zimbabwe headquarter, also meant to bee seen from outer space are examples of his great vision for the future.
Thanks to this site, my stepdaughter & her boyfriend were saved from ever having to go to Angola. They signed up, raised the money & had been at the first destination in Mass. for two days when her mother found this site & was able to alert them. I want to Thank you.
I just recently became a student at IICD in Williamstown Mass. One week after driving up onto the mountain, I canceled my check and drove right back off of it. I do believe that much of the information on this site is embelished, but the basic facts are true. If you are going ot dedicate one year or more of your life working for a cause you believe in, don't you think it should be one you believe in 100% beyond the shadow of any doubt. The fact that this web site even exists, the fact that any articles have even been written...what more cause for doubt do you need. To all those looking into joining any of the organizations listed on this site, think twice about it. There are thousands of organizations out there to choose from...look into some of those before commiting and giving "The Teachers Group" any of your money, because you won't get it back if you decide to leave.
To be a volunteer is still, I think a great opportunity, but it's not forced on anyone. I think some of the school policies need to catch up with huge changes in the prospective volunteers pool but hey, if you don't like what they say then just say no - don't get all sad and bitter.
Thanks to Jostein for letting me know about this site, but I'm afraid mate that I'm joining the other side of the arguement. love phil.

By the way, the Danish AIDS foundation have banned Tvind from abusing the red AIDS ribbon.
I think that the reason for their focus on AIDS is that it is much easier to fundraise if you say you collect money to fight AIDS. No more postcards to sell! Fashionable red AIDS ribbons instead! It is easier to explain what you are doing and there will be less questions asked...

RE: RECOGNITION OF THE DNS EXAM IN ICELAND
Someone wrote to this guestbook that the DNS exam (The Teacher Training College) in Tvind is not recognized in Iceland. This is not true. I graduated from DNS in 1998 and 5 members from my class have since then got their exam recognized by the Icelandic Ministry of Education. All of us have been teaching in Iceland and we have found that our studies at DNS have prepared us very well for our job. I also know that the Ministery of Education in Norway recognizes the exam and that people from the US have had it recognized as a BA degree back home.
I will always think of the 4 years I spent at DNS as some of the best years of my life. I miss the people there, both the other students and teachers and the wealth of experiences I enjoyed during these years. We were always doing something new and exciting. I find this web full of exaggerations and lies. I have never been a member of the Teachers Group and no one ever tried to convince me to become one. I was free to leave the program at any time. If I didnt like something at the college I felt free to discuss it with my teachers. This program is very demanding, but why should everyting always be easy? I admire the TG members for daring to live their lives according to their believes and conviction, working day and night to try to make the world better. I dont see that as anything bad even if I chose to live my life differently. It's the way of cowards and liers to write nameless letters spreading dirt about others. Those of you who are considering joining the DNS or becoming volunteers in Africa or India, go and see for yourselves. Those programs are different from other programs and those who are different have always been persecuted. The only way to find out if this is something good for you is to go there and check it out. Best regards Marta Einarsdottir, email: Martabref@hotmail.com
he aint lying thats a fact! if you look closely it's all the "rag" newspapers that seem to publish all the negative stuff about tvind! Try reading some educational papers u Doubters!!
Hail Hail k
To P...
Why is it that you are lying?
M, why don't you read some of the articles by some of the world's mosty respected newspapers that can be found on this site? Why do you think it is that independant media has never published ONE positive article about Tvind? Don't they KNOW that your way is the only way and everyone else is wrong? sheeseh... p
It is very interesting but also disturbing to read comments of people who have no clue what Tvind is about! I particularly would like to mention the issue of admission criteria and a curriculum. I shall say that in our societies we have far too many schools which excessively emphasise strict, brought from elitarian institutions, qualifications by what those schools replicate unfair class-relations. What is wrong with trying to break away from those harmful practices and enrolling "hard working people" ? And what is wrong with offering the opportunity of earning for studies at the school? In Britain for instance, money is a top issue when choosing your education (and social class at the same time!). If you have it, the choice is yours, if you do not have it, you are doomed to a school which is not necessarily your cup of tea. Actually, what admission criteria do you propose for working in Africa? PhD or extramurral courses. If you had the chance to obtain it - lucky you. If not - go on with your socially prede stained fate... And the curriculum... Today, one is so alienated that cannot see the possibility of designing his own education. How easy and how borring it is to follow a standarised, and imposed by those in power - the elite, curriculum. Too much freedom for someone inborn and profoundly assimilated into the prevailing capitalist structures can be suffocating. Let us all try to see beyond what we are surrounded. ex-student. M.
