More a book for the next generation but highly interesting. What does Europe have in store for us and what can we do for our future? A few young people got together and worked on a plan how to improve all our lives, get recommendations on what each one of us can do in order to have a better future.
Quite a short book (less than 100 pages) that anyone can read in a couple of minutes but with a text so interesting and meaningful that it will stay with us forever. Check out their website, you can even read the book there.
From their website:
"European youth is hit by a whole series of challenges these days. From our travels and first-hand encounters we can say that this is true. Large scale unemployment, raising levels of xenophobia, tensions between countries who were once friendly neighbors, and a resurge of nationalism. Either something will be done to fix all of this, or our continent will break apart under the stress. Obviously, nobody in their right mind wants the latter. But what needs to be done? What our continent needs most is fresh inspiration, new ideas, and creative ways of tackling difficulties. Or, to put it differently: our continent needs us, Europe’s youth. Our generation has all of the skills and tools necessary to pull Europe and ourselves out of this mess and begin a new era of life as Europeans."

Excellent! Everytime someone complains about millennials, I say they are going to save us!!
ReplyDeleteI think we are all responsible for the problems the millenials ahve to face, including themselves. Aren't we the ones who were raising them?
DeleteI have met a lot of young people, my own sons, my nieces and nephews, and a lot of their friends and I'm feeling pretty confident they are going to save their own future. We should be proud of them and help them as much as we can, not give them more obstacles to deal with.
Have a good weekend,
