Understanding Youth
When you're distracted
And unwitting time
Lies on your forehead,
I am overcome by sadness
For your full-blooded youth
The dross of time.
Katerina Anghelaki Rooke
International developments:
After Copenhagen, in anticipation of Cancun, Mexico, a new debate is starting within Cultura 21 as to what measures artists and scientists can propose to bring about an international agreement with regards to climate change
Europe
While the 25 years of existence of European Capitals of Culture shall be observed in Brussels, March 23 and 24, 2010, the question of European governance is becoming paramount in view of the unsettling and deeply preturbing news about deficits in not only Greece, but in many other EU member states. At the same time, the EU Cultural Agenda perceives poverty in Europe as the key challenge, but then this should be extended to the non material side, by including 'poverty of experience'.
Kids' Guernica
In 2010 Kids' Guernica is marking 15 years of existence. In January there took place exhibitions in Nagasaki, Japan and in Tallahassee, Florida, USA. In the latter case Tom Anderson, the curator, organised as well the Symposium linking art to the question of social justice.
This shall be followed by events in Rumania in March, while Prof. Monique Kissel has set up a Kids' Guernica workshop at Saint Denis University in Paris. There are plans as well for actions in Ghent, Belgium; Nancy, France and Berlin, Germany.

For Europe, there exists as well a new Kids' Guernica website: www.kidsguernica.eu
