Very nice presentation. Many people are not drawn to history the way we are, but i think most appreciate the lessons and human experience of it, when presented the right way.
I'm impressed that a Norwegian school allowed edged weapons and firearms on campus! Here, if a kid makes a "gun" shape with thumb and forefinger, they suspend him/her, lock down the school for the day and send a note out to all the parents explaining that there was a firearm incident. Then they proceed to take credit for "neutralizing" the "threat", followed by school board politicos enacting tougher, "zero tolerance" policies to prevent further incidents.
