We are pleased to announce that the next edition of the event will take place on 18-20 October 2024 in Łódź under the motto “City. Europe. The future”!
Most Poles – like most Europeans and most people of the planet – live in cities.
City It's the center of events. A space for social interaction and a forum for communication; a platform for democratic processes, dialog and cultural diversity. It was in cities that the ideas of liberalism, capitalism, civilian rights and tolerance were born and realized to penetrate state systems.
City It's a social change incubator. Cohesion leader, social service provider, real immigration policy implementer.
City This is the driving force of the economy: a driver of development, creativity and innovation; a wealth generator – 85 percent of global GDP is produced in cities.
City is independency and freedom of choice; the anticipation of being what you want. It is simply a position of individual development, access to education, culture and entertainment.
City This is where the top challenges of modern times are revealed. This is 75 percent of global consumption of natural resources, 60-80 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. It is unemployment, poverty, social segregation and exclusion.
City It's a commitment. Social, economic, environmental and climate issues – key to addressing global problems and improving the well-being of future generations of citizens.
The city is the future.
In 2024 Poles will participate in local elections and elections to the European Parliament. The way in which cities, Poland and Europe address the most crucial problems of the modern planet will depend on the conscious voices of citizens and their elected representatives. After 8 long years, we can be part of the solution again. For myself. For Poland. For Europe.
Europe It's more than a continent. It is simply a community of values and 1 of the most successful economical improvement projects based on the thought of a common marketplace within the European Union.
Europe This is simply a space of freedom and security, and in this context, the pressing challenges of the ongoing war in Ukraine: the request to intensify efforts to keep a partnership with the US and the UK, and to make its own defence and energy independency doctrine.
Europe sex equality, human rights protection and respect for diversity. It is besides an expanding request to strengthen these fundamental values for democracy in the face of increasing populism and global migration.
Europe This is an urgent request for organization improvement which will preserve the community without deepening the Union's two-speed phenomenon, while strengthening the efficiency and dynamics of action, which are a condition for future enlargement.
Europe is simply a improvement based on sustained economical growth and price stableness and a highly competitive marketplace economy. present it is besides essential to reconcile these objectives with ethical challenges concerning fresh technologies and artificial intelligence and environmental needs. Europe must not lose its global position in achieving these objectives.
Europe This commitment to green transition: creating infrastructure and environment that will let smooth transitions to low- and zero-emissions without harming national economies and citizens' needs.
Europe – strong and united – is simply a prerequisite for peace, economical improvement and well-being of citizens.
Europe is the future.
Town. Europe. The future. Meet us on 18-20 October 2024 in Łódź at the Freedom Games!
