Donetsk Euroclub is happy to present a series of essays on the topic "Future of Europe" by former members of Euroclubs. Essays were submitted for a competition to participate in a Youth in Action exchange in Norway. Essays are presented as received.
When I was a child, I never thought about the future, when I became a teen-ager I attended euroclub at my school and I start analizing and thinking about it. Now I am 19 years old and I am sure that youth means enthusiasm, readiness to do anything, to create something new. We can bring a lot of change, remove corruption, be active, enhance our talents, inspire others. I’m sure- each and every youth has enormous force! My hope is that non-governmental public organizations will make a commitment to initiate a development facilitation effort in a community.
QUALITY OF LIFE IS DEVELOPMENT! The world is in constant changing and development, so we can’t be isolated. I visited some European countries taking part in different projects and programmes and saw the life of people there. European life-stile, standarts of living, protection of civil rights,democratic values, equality before the law... always impressed me greatly.
So, I’ll try to express my thoughts about the future of Europe, which faces a lot of problems now. The problem with euro, fragility of eurozone, the hybrit nature of European economic and political integration, EU’s democratic dificit...I don’t agree with the words that " the EU is a fair-weather construction and works only in the absence of economic troubles". I think that every country of EU demonstrates a shared feeling of belonging.
