To us, it’s been exciting that we’ve been able to change a situation that’s been so bleak.” 〔 http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/sierre-oeste-has-seen-less-crime-more-community-year-photos . 〕 In an interview with Romerikes Blad, Schoyen said;“ The success we achieved in Sierra Oeste means a lot to not just Nevada and Las Vegas, but also to the rest of America, as we through this collaborative initiative have proven what is possible, and that our blue-print can be applied to also other US cities.“ 〔 http://www.rb.no/jessheim/article7712713.ece 〕 On December 19, 2013 the parade and block party for the children of Sierra Oeste took place, launching the initiative of Hometown Heroes United, a group with Christian Schoyen as the project director, formed by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and Hometown Heroes to fight crime and improve the conditions for children in poverty. The block party which had Christmas music, free food, gifts and a drawing contest gathered hundreds of children in Sierra Oeste, which is considered to be the most dangerous place to live in Las Vegas. Over several weeks Christian and others involved in the project knocked on every door to get to know the families and better understand what troubles the community.〔http://lvmpd.com/Portals/0/news/2013/121713ReleasePO291.pdf〕 Christian said in an interview with Las Vegas Review Journal;” We want to reduce crime and reach out to the children. We hope to bring a strong community spirit to the area, something that is vital for children to thrive and to break the cycle of violence that has plagued the neighborhood for years and hope we can alter that life path. Transforming a neighborhood known to many as the “baby ghetto” won’t be easy. A drastic situation needs drastic measures."〔(community )〕 On October 8, 2013 the Hometown Heroes Leif Erikson Awards took place at South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa in Las Vegas hosted by Christian Schoyen with awards presented by Las Vegas Mayor Pro Tem Stavros Anthony, where the good deeds of nine Nevadans where recognized with the Hometown Heroes Leif Erikson Award and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department with the Leif Erikson “Viking of honor” lifetime award.〔http://www.hometown-heroes.com〕〔http://www.vegasviking.com/pdf/VegasVikingNovDec2013.pdf〕 The recipients have been featured on the “Hometown Heroes” television show appearing on KCLV Channel 2.

On April 29, 2013 Hometown Heroes (talk show), hosted by Christian, which spotlights individuals in the Las Vegas community, who have made a difference in others' lives premiered on KCLV Channel 2.〔〔http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2934530/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1〕 Christian said in an interview with Las Vegas Review Journal; “I’m out to raise the social consciousness of the community by highlighting those who help others”. I found the same patterns in every person I interviewed for the show. They all had a mental fortitude that shrugged off temporary setbacks to continue moving forward. They saw their work not as a chore, but as their passion. With any recognition, they were quick to deflect the praise and characterize it as a team effort. They were meant to be here in Las Vegas. They’re high-energy, driven people who feel a responsibility to help others.” “I hope by showcasing people who have helped others, “Hometown Heroes” could inspire more people to become role models.〔 On October 3, 2012 Christian accepted from Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman on behalf of the Vegas Viking Lodge. of Sons of Norway and the more than 50,000 Scandinavians in Las Vegas〔https://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&sclient=psyab&q=+u.s.+census+ethnic+origin+2000&oq=+u.s.+census+ethnic+origin+2000&gs_l=serp.3...34058.40604.1.41216.6.6.0.0.0.0.113.602.2j4.6.0...0.0...1c.1.-KRQTH5886s&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=7680231318a44bb0&bpcl=35466521&biw=1280&bih=929〕 proclamation of October 9 being the official Leif Erikson Day throughout the city. The ceremony took place at City Hall and was televised live on KCLV Channel 2. To nurture the core Viking traits in children growing up in Las Vegas represented by Leif Erikson’s legacy a drawing competition sponsored by Vegas Viking lodge was in conjunction with the day announced.〔http://www.vegasviking.com/news.html〕 The lodge works with the Clark County School District and Christian said in an interview with Las Vegas Review-Journal ; "We can influence young minds, especially when they're the most open (under age 12) as eighty-five percent of your conditioning is fixed before you're 12. We want to further the understanding of what it meant to be a Viking and how that approach to life can apply to their lives. The Vikings represent role models, and we believe everybody needs role models. What stops people is fear; if you can overcome fear, your potential as a human being is much greater; it can open doors." In 2011, Christian's futuring project; "Las Vegas 2020" was selected for presentation at World Future Society international Conference in Vancouver, Canada. The project which was done in conjunction with futurist Nils Rasmussen introduced a new model for city government, together with a vision of how to ensure optimal allocation of resources to provide a higher quality of life for the citizens of Las Vegas. He has written several books, this including; Can People Change? - When trapped in a bubble, which has its basis in his 17 year study in human behavior and predictability.〔 His docudrama Living the Dream linking childhood conditioning to adulthood 〔http://articles.latimes.com/2006/nov/24/entertainment/et-dream24〕 plays an important part of his behavior study. Christian is also the author of the US bestselling book for companies on how to recruit; Secrets of the Executive Search Experts, The Hidden Job Market: Secrets of an International Headhunter, Recruitment in the European Economic Area (EEA): Forecast of Future Labour Market (The Norwegian Government Research Council/ ISBN 978-1-4675-2151-2), How to Get the Job: A Handbook for International Job Seekers and A Second Life: Your Second Chance at Life.
