Why a Danish Peace Academy on the Internet?
There is no formal peace education in Denmark. As there at the present are only few members of the Danish peace organizations, the Internet is the best way to communicate peace culture and peace education. The peace academy is under construction and need educators to develop teaching materials for both Danish and English speaking students. Qualified teachers may contact the Peace Academy.

Where can I find information to my lessons?
There is no written exercises. The Academy expects, that the students themselves write their lessons, but even to non-Danish speaking people there is a some help in The Danish Peace Academy in the articles, the databases, and in the Encyclopedia of Peace and Security. For teachers and students there are Danish suggestions to courses of studies in different subjects.

Why does Your education not give competence?
The Peace Academy's education is not yet authorizesed, as other Danish peace education neither has been authorizesed by the ministry of Education. The work with the establishing of The Danish Peace Academy has been done with voluntary, unpaid workers and there is an on going process of quality processing of the documents in The Peace Academy. Until The Peace Academy can stand on it´s own feet, the academy's education offerings and tools of help may be used in other competence given education.

Questions on Denmark's country policy on Nuclear Nonproliferation and Chemical and Biological Weapons
Q: "I am doing a research on Denmark's country policy on Nuclear Nonproliferation and Chemical and Biological weapons it would be kind of you to sent me a copy of your Policy on those topics".
A: I don't know your age and how long you are in your education process. But I shall try to explain and answer your question so you can be able to work further yourselves.
A general introduction to your subjects is: Armaments and disarmament in the Nuclear Age, SIPRI, 1976.
After the second world war Denmark in 1949 joined NATO and have been following the official NATO policies on these matters. Disarmament has been downplayed in Copenhagen since the time of the League of Nations and the only initiative from Danish politicians was about conventional arms sales from 1967.
There is no single paper covering all or even some aspects of Danish policy on Nuclear Nonproliferation and Chemical and Biological weapons. These questions have been discussed by senior politicians behind tightly closed doors since 1923 when the Danish Parliament's (Folketinget) Foreign policy Committee (Udenrigspolitisk Nævn) was established. As in other democratic countries all legestative proposals undergo an process developing a lot of paper trails which have to be followed by the researcher.
The official Danish policy towards Disarmament, Land Mines, Chemical and Biological weapons is given as yearly instructions to the Danish diplomats at work at the UN General Assembly. Ask the Danish diplomats in UN or UN itself for copies of the instructions.
There is officially no nuclear weapons in Denmark in time of peace, according to a Danish governmental decision from 1957/1958. Denmark is a small country, with a big island, Greenland. Even though, there are not nuclear weapons in Denmark in peace time, this does not mean, that Denmark and Greenland is free from nuclear installations and weapons, especially at the American, Thule Air Base. Look at a map and read: Greenland during the cold war : Danish and American Security Policy 1945-68, summary from DUPI (Danish Institute of International Affairs) and Thule and theory : Democracy and elitism in Danish foreign policy. In: Danish foreign policy yearbook, ISSN 1397-2480, 1998 pp. 79-101. Marshall, Andrew: Lost nuclear bomb left to rot on sea-bed. The Independent, Aug. 14th. 2000.
One of the radar's at the Thule Air Base is connected to discussions related to the ABM-treaty. US wants apparently to use the bases in Thule and Fylingsdales, in Britain for its National Missile Defence or Star Wars. You should be able to find articles about the subjects in the Enclyclopedia on peace and war and in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists or in American and English newspapers and magazines specializing in international policy.
There have been discussed different proposals to make Scandinavia a nuclear free zone. See Nuclear disengagement in Europe, SIPRI, 1983.
