People are doing really interesting things. We want to share the artistic endeavours of our friends and family on our blog.

READING!

Biddy’s nephew in Malta, Jonathan writes paints and produces films but now has felt the need to express his thoughts about what is happening to us.

TRAVELLING!

Josephine Olivia, Biddy’s niece from The U.S.A. knows how to travel on a shoestring, how to avoid the crowds and yet see all the must see places.

She is a great travelling companion as you will see.

Then, as you know,  all travelling came to a standstill.

VIDEO!

STAY AT HOME! 

This video comes from Artist In Residence Nacho Paswal  or Ignacio Muñoz Pascual  who hails from San Sebastián De Los Reyes.

Take 30 minutes to watch it. He has great faith in his gourds’ ability to infect the world with a new virus that will save not only the planet but mankind.

Exceptional Cirumstances

There is a lockdown and all activities organized by local associations have been cancelled including our talks. La Universidad Popular will be closed. People are asked to stay at home or near home for the next two weeks in the hope of preventing the spread of the contagious virus that is affecting so many countries.

We will announce any changes.

Meantime here are some photos of  the nice place we were going to visit this Saturday. El parque de Valdelatas.

Deepest sorrow

We will not forget the 16th anniversary of the atrocious bombing in Madrid in the early morning of 11th March 2004 .
Bombs in rucksacks were planted on different trains filled with students and workers heading into the city of Madrid.
The  bombs exploded and on that terrible morning 193 innocent people lost their lives

Healthy arguments

We had an interesting discussion on Wednesday. Our podcast claimed that that it is healthy to argue and air different points of view but that we should  be prepared to defend them.
Equally important is to allow others to have their say and to let them speak and listen to them.
Reaching an agreement on burning issues is not easy at all.

A case in point is whether or not children's vaccinations should be obligatory, especially as not vaccinating  them will affect other children. When should governments intervene?
We all agreed that we would like to know more about this and to find out what is the procedure in other countries

Here is the link to another interesting topic  and the subject of  next week's discussion courtesy of Julia.  Thanks, Julia.

What makes you happy?
