Papirolas, say it with art.

Papirolas

Papirolas is an exposition that cares for the kids and adolescents, and has place every year.

The exposition has been taking place since 15 years ago, bringing the families time to enjoy together and to learn too.

The event is compound by diverse courses, talks, and live contests. The festival occur in spring and last a week.

A little of history:

The festival started in 1995 as part of the FIL, a space created specifically for children, with the objective of having a place where they can learn and enjoy.

The festival in the first years took place on the Expo Guadalajara, but then it was taken into public places, from 2003 to 2010 the festival was released on the Calle 2, a space of the Universidad de Guadalajara in Zapopan. Since 2011 the exposition came back to its first original place Expo Guadalajara, and since that date, the festival offers to the teachers a training program.

Let’s paint murals! In the Public Library of Jalisco.

From March 15^th to April 30^th the exposition will take place in the public library “Juan José Arreola”.

The exposition includes 12 from 18 collection paintings, which were painted in late 1992 and early 1993. The paints were made by indigenous children from Mexican indigenous communities.

This collection was made by initiative of the Trust for the Health of Indigenous Children in Mexico presiding by Ofelia Medina.

Let's paint murals! Has already been exhibited in Japan, Los Angeles and Chicago (United States), Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Greenland and Russia, among other places.

The exposition

During the festival you can see beside a lot of kids, a lot of art, it is everywhere. In the entrance the first thing you see is a gigantic mural that is great. Then you walk, ant then are the courses. All the courses are different, body-music, drawing with light, big-headed persons, and even stilts.

When you have a kid and take him/her to the festival, you can know him/her better, because you can know what does he/she likes more. Beside art can be very important in the development of the kids.

Besides having a lot of courses, the ones that you could hear among all the place was the one about music, and children liked it because they can touch the drums, not only physically, the can play it too. In that point is where the parents are very happy because in the festival they are allowed to play, make noise and have fun and no-one can tell them not to do that.

We know that all kids are different, that’s why they made different courses for those kids, but at the end they all can have fun, and we know that kids are magic because they surprise with everything.

This year, a now thing added to the exposition was the subscription of scholar groups, where kids with their school friends can go and enjoy all together.

The government had a stand too

As part to improve and get to know better through all the parents culture, the did not realized where they were, at a kids exposition. A kid would never visit their stand because the lack of colors they use, I think that kids have the same right to know what is happening on the government too, and those people have to tell them in the easiest way.

A part very important of the exposition (in my opinion) was the atmosphere, because kids are always happy and they do spread all the happiness, but in some stand you could see the stand attendants very bored, tired, without the desire to attract people to know more about their product, company, etc. just few stand were treating with kids.

Beside all this was a good exposition and kids liked it and that’s the most important thing. They did had fun.

Disable People

Problems

A disability is the impediment either physical, cognitive, mental, sensory, emotional, developmental or some combination of these.

This problem more to be a personal or familiar problem is a social problem, because all these people don't have the fault to be the way they are. 

There are quite a lot of problems that come after having a disability, for example poverty.

Having a disability most of the times end up in poverty, because the person didn’t acquire any skills.

But also poverty contributes to disability, because in poor countries where the kids are in danger to be malnourished the can be affected by diseases such as polio or even get involved on an accident.

Another example of the contribution of poverty are wars, when there is a war on a country most of the time there are civilians that get hurt and when they lost a part of their body, they turn into disables and they won’t contribute to their country as they did before.

But most of the times taking care of a disable person is expensive, not only economically but emotionally as well. And I don’t mean that having a disable person in your family is a punishment from God, but the society isn’t ready yet for disable people.

And this problem get us to a lot more as the schools that most of the time don’t accept disable children, because they’re different. And the special schools that are for those kids most of the time are very expensive beside that in quite a lot of times they can’t be good enough and the reason is that there’s not enough information about the different disabilities that some people face.

Having a disability makes a person different from the others, but that doesn´t mean that you are going to treat him different from the others, because that’s the problem in our society and they know it very well, you can treat them like stupid, because they are not, sometimes they are even smarter than us we can take as an example to Stephen Hawking, he beside theoretically predicted that black holes emit radiation, opened some schools for disable people and I had the opportunity to be in one of his schools and is a great experience, because you can see the disable children hanging out with kids like themselves and helping each other, and then you realize that what those people can teach you is to love no matter what and to be patient too but all those people are full of love and if you treat them in a way they can get angry, they can change all the love in his heart for hate and there’s when we sometimes see a disable person on the street and try to help him out and they get mad but isn’t his fault anyway is society’s.

 

Most of the problems that disable people face are because of the society and it’s a vicious circle, where it will never ends at least the society change.
