What’s your vision of your country and Europe in 2030? How do you think your country will be governed and how will it be positioned in the European and global economic and political scene in over 10 years? What are the main developments that will define your country and Europe in the future? What do you think the words ‘world’, ‘Europe’ and ‘country’ will mean for you more than a decade from now?
If you have your own answers to these questions, put your ideas in writing and participate in the My country, our world in 2030 essay competition. Organised by the Dialogue of Civilizations Research Institute (DOC) and the Chair for the History of Eastern Europe at Humboldt University, the competition is an opportunity for young people to share their insights and vision of their country and Europe.
