00:00Evolutions, learning, reflections and above all, a lot of fun, characterise the days of

00:05the 6th International Meeting of Arts for Children, Corazón Feliz or Happy Heart, in

00:09Cuba, that extends its activities until next June 2nd.

00:13Her colleague, Fábio López, from Havana, with all the details.

00:20Despite the challenging times that this island is living, art, magic and creativity of childhood

00:26fill the last days.

00:28In Happy Heart, the cultural event dedicated to peace for children, nothing is missing.

00:35That is why an animation workshop for children with special needs like this enchants people.

00:47Schools turn to the theatres, cinemas, activities and workshops, and whatever is done for children,

00:54it is always a small effort, even to maintain the beauty of magic.

00:59To discover new things is vital for the development of children, and in the hard times we are living,

01:06that they have days like this, full of magic, art and discovery, is a wonder.

01:12The idea of Happy Heart is to achieve, through art, culture and education, to build a happy

01:19and dignified world for children.

01:21In the theoretical event, Thinking with the Heart, artists, managers and educators spoke and debated

01:27about art as a tool for cognitive, emotional and social development in children.

01:32Those of us who are dedicated to working for children in these times, know well that we

01:47will not have it easy.

01:49Big companies and corporations also work for them.

01:52The difference is to put the message that really matters, which is not a message of ambition

01:58or winners.

01:59It is not a message that wealth is what makes the human being.

02:03What makes it are the values, the ability to be empathetic, supportive, harmonious.

02:09Look at the other equally, whether white, black, red, Chinese, yellow.

02:22We want people who think that the world still has salvation, said to this reporter, the popatier

02:30Ruben Dario Salazar.

02:32That is why the visit of therapeutic clowns to the pediatric ward of the National Institute

02:37of Oncology and Radiobiology could not be missing in a meeting like this.

02:41If this happens in a country like Cuba,

02:51be educated, besieged, mutilated, totally violated, it is the certainty that Cubans have a lot

03:00of tools and mechanisms to go on, get ahead, reinvent themselves and be happy.

03:15The interactive space, the tree of life dedicated to the children's singer Teresita Fernandez,

03:21the paper theater workshop taught by the Argentinian Spanish creator Ana Laura Barros and the music

03:26of the Venezuelan group Comunicalle are just some of the many activities for children at

03:31overflow Havana these days.

03:33No better scenario for the protagonist of the festival to send this message to the children

03:38of the world.

03:44I would tell him that, always, what will make you strong, good and capable are your friends.

03:53They will help you when you need them.

03:56They have helped me a lot and I have helped them.

04:03Singing to peace, life, inclusion, love and care for nature is also the purpose of the festival,

04:12which Children's Singers Leaders Lamoru takes advantage of while singing exclusively to

04:17Telesur.

04:18Porque Tenemos el corazón feliz, feliz, Felizилиz, Feliz, Feliz

04:25Fabiola López Tele Zull, L walk.
