THIS IS OUR WAY

- A new concept, a new direction -


     Nowadays youth communicate freely without barriers or discrimination of any kind. At the same time, technologies have evolved much faster than people, which is why I believe it is imperative to prepare the current generation of young people for future challenges. The phrase youth is the future begins to sound obsolete and inappropriate in relation to the new developments of mankind, and therefore, it is necessary to start with a new way of thinking and to consider youth as the present who needs support now in order to have a future.
     With that in mind, 20 years ago I started working on the concept named “THIS IS OUR WAY”, a concept that I wish to implement in collaboration with the World Assembly of Youth. This concept is intended to improve the way people think, especially young people, giving hope for the future.

I.  What is required in order to reach this purpose?

a.  Stable jobs that would generate income proportional with one’s education and specialization, sufficient to cover one’s basic needs.
b.  Equal opportunities.
c.  Public institutions that would solve problems in an easy, fast and efficient manner.
d.  Free and uncensored access to quality information of public interest.
e.  Internet access.
f.  Friendly financial – banking activity, youth oriented.
g.  Implement politics/programs to encourage tourism with the purpose of providing youth with access to multicultural environments.
h.  Free circulation.
i.  Safety of life: feeling physically and emotionally safe.
j.  Family unity from a geographical perspective.
k.  Decent infrastructure for movement – walking, cycling and use of public transportation.
l.  Multicultural education.
m.  Spare time for relaxation, recovery and recreational activities.
n.  Respect for confidentiality and private life.
o.  Optimal conditions for a decent living at the place of birth including food, health, habitat and social protection.
p.  You should acknowledge, know and respect one’s rights and obligations.
q.  Implement politics/programs for monitoring and mitigating stress factors and social environment conditions.

II.  Positive consequences of decent living conditions for youth:

a.  Social involvement and increase in the level of social awareness and citizen participation.
b.  Youth’s involvement in decision making in political, communal and economic issues on a local, national and international level.
c.  Greater civic responsibility.
d.  Eliminate the reason for migration.
e.  Increase of labor force.
f.  Promote a dynamic economy by engaging youth in a favorable labor force.
g.  Promote local industry and products.
h.  Develop values and life principles.
i.  Reduce discrimination.

III.  We intend to create a leader mentality. And a leader mentality means…

a.  A stronger, resilient individual.
b.  Motivated perception of life and work.
