the transfer of skills ,culture, stories from one generation to another is so important

here in corsica there has been a"broken link": the kids from 14 to late 20ties do not know
anything about fishing,watering a garden, fishing, hunting or even checking the oil in a rent car(..)
the passing has been lost!!
sometimes they can make up for their ignorance with the smart phone,( but the batteries need recharging >:D)

Post by: cecil on July 15, 2017, 07:41:48 PM: Thank you. My Grandson is 21 now going to school and working, so he doesn't have much time for Trompos. This was just a warm up for him. When he's warmed up he is nothing but MAGIC with EVERYTHING. If I was rich I would send him to Columbia to learn from the street performers.

Unfortunately, all the main demonstrators of Cometa lost their US visas because of a big snafu of the company :(
