This eventi is presented on the special occasion of the closure of Festival “Il Diritto di Essere Bambini”2021 (The Right to be Kids), to remind of International Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The decalogue of natural rights of kids by Gianfranco Zavalloni is both a life proposal and a critic to those excesses of modernity connected to the logic of consumerism and not to the experience of a sincere relationship with ourselves, with the others, the nature, and the environment.
The ten points path guides us in those spaces where there’s a poetic point of view of the world, that comes naturally in every kid and is inborn in every human being.
To see the world with a poetic point of view may signify, to be able to catch and experiment the essence of its soul better say “to be touched by the closeness of “the essence of things” (M. Heidegger) and the closeness to the essence of things is where the nuances and the emotion resides. Every right of the decalogue has been read and interpreted by contemporary authors who tried to give every single one a new voice by connecting before to after, to the future we’re building together.
