The Buoy was made in 2000.
In 2001-2002, I was full-time teaching the buoy in schools. The courses were attended by 390 children that winter and were a great success. I also worked with groups and classes within the schools in bullying solutions and self-strengthening using the buoy methods.
Counseling is in many ways teaching, and with my acting background, I went on a teaching-license course in 2002-2003. My final thesis from KHÍ. deals with drama for therapeutic purposes.The educational center showed great interest in my work within the schools, as it was entrepreneurial work. Within the school system, I taught Baujan for about 20 years. Since 2004, I have held courses for professionals in the buoy’s methods. They have attended, for example, study-work- and social workers, deacons, psychologists, and teachers. Different groups have ordered Baujun's teaching lectures, tailored to their needs.
