Svein Helge Orheim lives in Hesseng, in the vicinity of Kirkenes. Kirkenes is situated practically on the Russian border in the far north-east of Norway. I'm headmaster of the Kirkenes kompetansesenter, an Adult Learning Centre teaching foreigners the Norwegian language, providing special education for those who need it, an d arranging curses or education on a university level for the population of the area.

I've lived here for 22 years since I left the Western part of Norway where I originally come from. I started working as a teacher.

As an experiment I edited the page about Kirkenes. I wrote about the possibilities of getting higher education at Kirkenes kompetansesenter, and added a link to Kk's website. This was a fairly easy thing to do, I wonder why I did not try to do it earlier. I did try once without success, but I think I did something incorrect, and the whole Wikipedia shut down and I could not get back in.

I think it is a good exercise, and it's also interesting to try to find out what is said about certain topics. I think this can be used in education on many levels, and I'll show it to the teachers in my school, and I'm certain that both they and the students will be able to use it.
