exchanges between its various players.

press relations
Regular contact with the press is planned, including press releases
and press packs.

Presence
of Chronos in book fairs
- The Seine-Saint-Denis
Youth Book Fair with a stand and various activities, a conference
with the participation of authors of children's literature on the
theme of the Chronos Prize, book signings, etc. In 1999, 1200 young
people came to make drawings on the stand about "a person in the four
stages of life, as a youth, a young adult, a middle-aged adult and
an elderly person".
- The Paris Book Fair
is the final stage in the Chronos Prize, including the awarding of
the Prizes before an audience of 300 young people and well-known figures
from the world of culture and gerontology as well as Chronos partners.

PROJECTS
FOR THE THIRD MILLENNIUM

The social and cultural sides of the Chronos Prize act in synergy,
which is helping change the way growing older is viewed today.
The challenge of the 21st century will be to help the Prize
grow exponentially, which reflects the expectations of young people,
their adult milieu, and senior citizens.
The Chronos Prize is now part of a process of growing awareness
that starts with young readers aged 4 to 14 and reaches up to embrace
their parents and teachers as well as senior citizens.
Meetings between different generations are now fashionable and on
the rise. Often these meetings simply bring young people and seniors
together in the same place, in illusory meetings of the mind. Without
preparing the young people and discussing the theme "Growing up means
growing older, growing older means growing up", exchanges tend to
be schematic and barren.
Social cohesion requires that everyone, including the very young,
think about life's changes.
This is the understanding we have reached after 12 years of experience.
We thus aim :
- to meet the hopes of the 50,000
readers expected,
- to involve senior citizens in
reading Chronos literature,
- to promote this theme using
media besides books, particularly songs and films.
We want everyone to be able to say: |

all, there's nothing wrong with being old" |
