Students in Trelleborg, Sweden, were enriched by the meeting with the multi-prized haiku poet Anna Maris. She spoke with great empathy about haiku and inspired the students to write their own poems linked to the global goals of sustainable development. She switched between reading haiku in Swedish, English and Japanese!

Maria Rita Pepe at IISS “G. Peano – C. Rosa”, Hereto, Italy share some students’ reflections on children’s rights and the 30th anniversary of the signature of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
We are young
but our ideas
will build
the future.
We have the same rights
no matter
who we are.
We have the right
to live
and to express ourselves.
We are young.

Annabel Lee by Lena Milanovic
My Annabel Lee
You’re my kingdom by the sea
You’re my life and my bride
But now you’re n the other side.
Our souls will always be together
And I will think about you forever.
I’m blown
You are alone
But I’m waiting to see you again
And I promise, I’ll be the same man.
With sadness for the tomb by the sea,
Where forever sleeps my Annabel Lee.
Our Love by Anastasija Prodanovic
Our love is a bitter taste
of unspoken words.
Maybe just one tear
or even a smile.
My heart feels yours near,
but I know you are not even close.
-Between us there’s just a mile.-
Still Wondering by Uros Sestovic & Marko Ristic
Lying in the field,
And thinking deep
Inside my mind,
What’s love and what’s there to be found?
What is love?
Is it an emotion that
Drives us crazy,
Makes us lazy?
Or is it just in
Our genes, a code
That is within
Our human being?
Love by Andjela Trebjesanin
Looking at the road and down the street
Gazing at the stars, staring at the sky
Waiting for her to meet.
My head in the clouds, I could almost fly
Thinking about the times I looked in her eyes.
Love by Lena Lazarevic, Kristina Gazdic, Darija Petrovic & Ana Stankovic
I tried to hide it
But this feeling is real
The one deep inside
That only I can feel
Many asked but I can’t reveal
What lies within this ex-heart of steel.
