Everybody seems to agree that for a better future we need to invest more in education, create more opportunities of political participation, a more inclusive politics is essential. Invest more in renewable sources of energy, and more governmental transparency with human rights truly respected. This post is a summary of a report with the incomplete title above and published at https://european-youth-event.europarl.europa.eu/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/EYE2016-Report-EN-web.pdf
1) Matching migrants with the best possible country for their skills and culture would control the impact on labour markets and help improve relations with the local population. 2) Encourage volunteer schemes to provide a powerful framework for integrating refugees into their new societies. 3) Allow embassies from all countries to receive asylum requests directly in order to prevent people from dangerous crossings. 4) Encourage open-minded education. All children should have access to equal opportunities in education, with renewed focus on ensuring tolerance for people from different religions and cultures. 5) Strengthen organisations that offer meaningful activities to people who have lost all sense of meaning in their lives. 6) Promote events that challenge stigma towards disabled people and help realign popular misconceptions of disabled people in society. 7) Develop a community app that proposes and debate policy in real-time. The way people participate in their national democracies is changing Whilst digital technologies are encouraging wider debate, disenfranchisement with formal democratic systems is challenging the way policy makers engage with voters. The internet provides a voice to millions and offers opportunities to criticise as well as to listen. Young people are willing to engage in societal issues, and that these positive intentions need to be harnessed to ensure that they translate into greater democratic participation. 8) Teach advocacy, politics and lobbying in schools to improve democratic participation amongst young people. Young people are willing to engage in societal issues, and that these positive intentions need to be harnessed to ensure that they translate into greater democratic participation. 9) Improve English in schools to harmonise the many voices of the world. 10) Improve transparency and accessibility of governmental documents and legislation so people can understand and engage with them. 11) Broaden the scheme to offer young people different routes than higher education. 12) Bridge the gap from education to employment to more opportunities to young people for paid and quality internships. 13) Improve online career advice and unemployment resources. Further investment needs to be placed in careers centres and more nuanced and holistic career advice should be provided. 14) Centralise collaboration with NGOs to encourage employment and cohesion in tackling issues. 15) Unify entrepreneurship resources and requirements to help new businesses get started. 16) Strengthen education and awareness of alternative economic models to boost innovation in this key sector. 17) Pool energy resources and invest in smart-grids to face up growing energy demands. Energy is a crucial factor in ensuring countries are able to function. 18) Increase commitment to tackling climate change and set more ambitious targets-80% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. 19) Build legislation that binds fair trade within the industry to ensure stability and fairness in the market. 20) Buy local: Encourage more people to buy food locally to reduce the carbon footprint and promote local prodution. 21) Promote sustainability and healthy living courses in schools so that young people are able to make informed choices on what they buy and eat. 22) Fight world hunger by introducing a financial transaction tax to finance campaigns, such as improving the self-sufficiency of farmers. 23) Be glocal (global and local): help found a campaign to raise the leaders of tomorrow. 24) Boost core digital skills: Computer science and in particular coding is still rarely taught in schools. Despite the obstacle of teacher education, it is critically important that we take the issue of programming education seriously if we are to provide a new generation of students with important vocational skills. This is not to say that all countries should approach their computer skills similarly. For example, Estonia is short of programmers for its burgeoning tech industry, hence it places an importance on programming. Denmark devotes more time to topics such as the design of user interfaces, which interests its big firms.
