gave the iceberg photomontage as logo for wikisource in 34 languages
- Hallo, my name is Uwe Kils. I think the most important ingredients for the amazing evolution of humans are ""Neugier" and love. To explore into unknown waters and space and to collect the beautiful and fascinating. As a teacher I think wikipedia is on its way to become a very usefull tool, especially for those schools and universities which have not high fundings, also for developmental countries. A great feature is the multi-language capability. The information is much more correct than the "wild web", because the content is discussed amoungst some 420 + editors, many of them scientists, librarians and/or philanthropists.

The future of education: I like the idea of Eric Moeller (user:eloquence) of the Wikiversity for online e-teaching and e-research and offered my cooperation as teacher and my interactive virtual microscope for a course in oceanography and Antarctic biology
@ graduation with faculty and students from the Philippines in robes from Helsinki (with the dagger) and Norway
