Question:

We’d like to know what you think about the Odyssey program.

First of all, I would like to thank you Odyssey for giving me the opportunity to communicate with thousands of young people and I wish you much success. I think that this program makes Odyssey a global service to education, very innovative, very important, and it puts the Internet and technology to the service of education. I think this is one of the demands that we have made for many years, that technology be at the service of youth in a positive sense; that it be at the service of learning and at the service of a multicultural/multidisciplinary relationship in the area of education.

So, I hope that you continue with this mission, keep working, involve more young people in the history of other nations and also create more international exchanges among young people.

I wish you good luck and success, and above all, that the people and institutions that have supported this program will keep supporting it, without any doubt, because this work that you are doing is very important.
