Cornwall to get a Landscape Observatory, in advance of London.

It is a truism that major metropolitan centres consider themselves to be fast-paced and at the cutting edge of "what is happening", and universally they're the most parochial, small-minded and behind-the-times sort of places. Rather than surging forward, they act as sheet-anchors for a culture that is disappearing elsewhere. 
So too in the case of Landscape Observatories, where Cornwall is going to get one ahead of London - sometimes the advances take place in the periphery, (including the marginalised) and work there way by degrees to the centre. Not only is the Cornish Observatory from the geographical periphery of England, but also it is an initiative to integrate formerly marginalised youth into the process of landscape policy making. "The Cornwall Landscape Observatory is an exploratory project working to understand and implement the idea of appreciating landscape as an asset to help children and young people integrate into their disadvantaged neighbourhood; and secure access to their social rights" 
http://www.catpaisatge.net/docs/cornwall.pdf A seminar will launch the fledgling Observatory on Wednesday 30th November 2011 "Students from a variety of disciplines and age groups will introduce their perspectives on landscape followed by plenary sessions at this one-day seminar. The outcomes of the seminar will be placed on a dedicated website and we will work to develop a Cornish Landscape Observatory through our European connections."
Sponsored by The Centre for European Research within
Cornwall (CERES) and hosted by Truro College register your interest by email to Mr. John Fleet of the CERES secretariat at: johnfleet1924@btinternet.com
