Small personal Questions for big European answers

Wasting time?

On social media, EU citizens spend more and more time on topics that interest them, but are mostly just intermediaries in the interaction of larger interests – not builders of their own lives. It would be reasonable for our essential EU level to offer you a meaningful, Union-wide daily forum centered on YOU.

will you let your free hand determine your destiny?

Unfortunately, the interest in voting in the European Parliament elections is low today. Half of us are abstaining from voting. The challenge that citizens pose to MEPs is even lower. 

How to make us understand our own relevance in creating our tomorrow?

What does air conditioning have to do with my health? 

Home ventilation may not be the first topic of conversation with friends in the EU, but perhaps it should be, because we have a lot of complementary knowledge in different cultures - not only for managing our own health problems, but also for successful joint innovations:

Moisture and mold damage: Insufficient ventilation increases indoor humidity, which creates a favorable environment for mold growth. Mold releases spores and toxins that cause respiratory symptoms, allergies and aggravate asthma.

Dry indoor air: Especially in winter, over-efficient ventilation or lack of heat recovery can make indoor air too dry. This irritates mucous membranes, eyes, and skin, and increases the risk of catching the flu.

Draughtiness and uneven heat: Unbalanced ventilation or incorrectly positioned air intakes and exhaust vents can cause unpleasant drafts and temperature fluctuations, which reduce living comfort and can increase exposure.

Indoor air pollutants: Dust, chemicals (e.g. from building materials) and house dust mites that accumulate in indoor air due to insufficient ventilation can cause headaches, fatigue and allergic reactions.

Take a look at images using artificial intelligence that visualize uneven temperature zones, where cool air (blue) settles to the floor, causing drafts, and humid or stale air stagnates in certain areas.

A simple measurement also shows indications of possible mold growth or high dust levels, highlighting health risks for residents.

Based on your own health problems, define what a smooth and controlled airflow would look like (e.g. with arrows), where fresh air spreads evenly throughout the living space and is removed efficiently, without drafts or stagnant air.

Describe how balanced ventilation (e.g. with heat recovery) should remove moisture and pollutants, creating a health-promoting and pleasant indoor climate.

Good care for democracy?

Human rights and democracy are not self-evident in the current world situation. As citizens of the European Union, our individual freedom is more secure than that of most people in the world. However, the direction of global development today is not self-evident. It may well depend on our personal example.

In light of our enlightened information society and our online literacy, it is a wonder that Europeans have not yet created their own Union-wide teams on a large scale to enrich the content of democracy in their everyday lives and to play their part in leading the way in building a life of dignity.

Your EU life force?

From the point of view of the EU itself, the meaningful interplay of the life force of the Union's almost 500 million people is an essential part of the realization of success.

2-level citizenship?

As a basic right, the EU offers every citizen, in addition to country-specific citizenship, personal EU citizenship with its essential benefits and challenges.

One in 350 million
or one in 27?

• You may feel that when you are only one of 450 million in the EU, you have to settle for passivity. Such sentiment has led to half of Union voters not voting at all - leaving their fate dangerously up to chance.

• What if you thought about it this way: with your personal EU thinking, you are more than one in 450 million. You are one of 27 - and at the same time much larger and, thanks to the strength of your team, more capable of achieving Union-wide achievements. 

27 member countries of different sizes. You are one of 450 million people

OR:

You and one person from every EU country. You are one of 27. 

your unique life
and your business

• Creating a joint Union-wide business chain or joint venture is also very close to the idea of ​​Personal EU. (EU small company with less than 10 employees / 2 M€, SME with less than 50 employees / 10 M€.)

• And you are qualified for it: Your home and your children are longer-term activities than most companies.

• What would be a more effective way to gather partners from all over Europe than to have the whole suitable team sign up on your screen every day instead of frustrating search trips. 

• To be successful, the European Union needs a large number of new EU-wide business ideas and strategies - and above all factors - that are ready for implementation.

• Union-wide everyday life! It is possible and you deserve it. It is beneficial for you to progress through all the levels to make it happen quickly.

My EU parliament?

We citizens have our own central representation in the European Union organization in the form of the EU Parliament, which is elected by direct personal citizens' elections.

To make the idea of ​​the Parliament a reality

- make sure you vote in the European Parliament elections (50% did not vote last time)

- also encourage the MEPs elected between elections to focus on their election promises. (Without your feedback, monitoring the interests of citizens is easily blurred among other political interests.)

Check out the personaleu.eu website and see how a Union-wide or smaller Euroteam can easily enrich your everyday life and strengthen the entire Union.

Life quality up?

The EU sphere of life is a fascinatingly rich and multidimensional entity in terms of its cultures, achievements, and people, where every new, everyday encounter across borders can produce valuable, even surprising, results and organizations for the betterment of our common tomorrow.

In our unstable world situation, the rapid spread of new Union teams could clearly strengthen the Union's ability to cooperate and its global weight as an operating model. 

personaleu.eu describes the role of you and other key players in the era of Union-wide teams.

Multiplying your power?

Like the international networks of representatives, we EU citizens could, with a secure application created for us, have our own Personal EU team, which includes from each country that one person  whose contact surface with the essential challenges is most similar to our own.

Why TeamFinder needed now?

Personal EU teams must have tools to help them communicate with each other in hobbies, everyday situations, entrepreneurship... 

EU's common challenge is to immediately implement a good Personal EU team program for its citizens with key tools and a secure Union-wide TeamFinder as a central part of the program.

Citizen level. Why now?

Personal EU teams have excellent conditions to quickly grow into a general EU citizen's basic tool and prove their relevance as a found missing organizational level - and as a complementary partner of other Union-wide actor levels.

My Union-wide 24/7 team. Why?

Personal EU’s role in the local and regional innovation system is to motivate and activate citizens to be in a new way union-widely self-organized when solving their personal 24/7/365 problems and turning them into victories and benefits for themselves and their public/private neighborhood.

Who is your mep?

In the future, the development of the Personal EU era will naturally be the responsibility of the European Parliament, which we ourselves have chosen as our guardian, which itself is a living example of functioning Personal EU teams. With our voting choices in the EU parliamentary elections, we can also ensure that the right people are responsible for the development of our new cooperation tools.

The essential understanding?

For the union’s member states the future of national languages is a question of life or death. The Personal EU concept is proud of every single European language – and sees a future European “anylanguage-to-anylanguage” translation/interpretation system development to be extremely essential for making the “European Dream Society” come true. Now the union’s innovation systems waste a power of 200 million citizens who can not communicate (not to mention innovate) in any language union-widely with each others.

Our common business?

Personal EU is like a joint venture in which each citizen of the Union owns one share. However, other EU-wide actors who benefit from the whole can participate in the development of operations by financing the parts necessary for the creation and maintenance of the network and its tools.

Why Safe EU team mail?

Citizens' EU self-esteem and the broadening of their perspectives are only created by continuous purposeful actions. In connection with the renewal of the EU passport, the Union e-mail given to everyone firstname.surname@maa.eu would also give an opportunity for a safer Union-wide development of cooperation.

A million EU teams?

The Personal EU service, which operates on the EU's own website and central social media, is easily a whole of up to a million different international teams. It is also suitable to act as an essential complement to the EU's traditional organizations and to promote joint success.

Daily union-wide life

• The team is much more than your EU. It's the same for everyone else on the team as well. When needed new safe connections will be opened so that the team members can network with each other everyday connections, too. This brings more and more new people safely to the background of the team: friends, supporters, buyers, customers... Union-wide and why not globally if that's what you need.

• Personal EU thinking develops the information society towards a more humane and life-centered era. This means good news for you and the traditional union-wide levels.

• As a citizen of the European Union, you have the opportunity, the right and the duty to manage your challenges, and to make new interaction friends across borders - a team with common challenges, values, ​​and expertise.

• Your Personal EU team would serve as your inspiring Union-wide "home nest", a living example of a whole new kind of Union-wide self-esteem.

•  Thanks to Union-wide team tools and citizen challenges, Personal EU would be an "organiczation" layer complementing the traditional levels of governance: perhaps the best and most natural thing that could happen to the digital decade of the Union in citizen-centricity.

• Public and private union-wide organizations would have the opportunity to become more people-oriented in cooperation with the new complementary Personal EU citizen level.

• With the help of current online tools, you can activate real resources and start your experiment even today: Find your team among current EU friends and start interacting as a team with common challenges. This would be your early bird step toward a total solution.

• Creating a Personal EU TeamFinder is very essential for the development and success of the Union. The Union should open an open development and trial version as soon as possible, and implement it officially as a standard part of the europa.eu front page during this decade.

PPPP cooperation. What and why?

The EU should adopt the Personal EU concept to be an official part of its future PPPP collaboration (Politic. Public. Private. Person.)

Tool for internationalization?

Helping in internatWhen national companies expand their operations to other countries of the Union, it is useful to involve a Personal EU team, which represents customer potential, right from the beginning of the process - both to clarify the overall picture and to coordinate the different stages by country.

Why union-wide teams?

It is essential for Europeans to cherish their cultural and linguistic richness for several reasons, and Union-wide daily teams can be an important tool in achieving this goal:

Cultural diversity: The European region is rich in cultural and linguistic diversity, and nurturing it promotes social cohesion and strengthens identity. Teamwork between people from different cultural backgrounds can promote intercultural understanding and dialogue.

Language skills and learning: Union-wide teams offer the opportunity to learn and use a language in practical situations. Developing language skills is important in both personal and professional life. 

Innovation and creativity: Team members from different cultural backgrounds can bring different perspectives and ideas. This can lead to innovations that are only possible in a diverse environment.

Social cohesion: Teamwork can create new networks and relationships, which supports cultural exchange and cooperation. This, in turn, can strengthen communities and promote social cohesion.

Sharing resources: Union-wide teams can share best practices and experiences from different regions, which helps to develop and strengthen the cultural and linguistic richness of the region.

Self-esteem and pride: When people are actively involved in promoting their own cultures and languages, it increases their self-esteem and pride in their own identity. This is especially important for younger generations.

Overall, Union-wide teams can be an effective way to strengthen the cultural and linguistic richness of Europeans, especially in a globalizing world where it is important to preserve and nurture local specificities.

Benefit by buying/selling/doing together?

Collaboration between similar-minded individuals adds new activity to their roles as consumers and as producers: They inspire each others to buy together specific products and services. They find very soon their individual roles and common challenges as result units of unique union-wide business ideas.

Union-wide feedback?

Personal EU teams are also perfectly suited as union-wide test groups or idea teams of companies and public organizations, because they know how to take into account the effects of cultural differences, e.g. to the requirements of the products and their communication - and can also give quick feedback on special local situations.

What consequences could the implementation of the Personal EU initiative on europa.eu have on a) the credibility of the European Commission and b) the European Union and c) its position in the world? 

Implementing the Personal EU initiative on europa.eu could have several consequences at different levels:

a) Credibility of the European Commission

Increasing transparency: The initiative could improve the transparency of the European Commission's decision-making process, giving citizens a better understanding of how decisions are made. This could increase the Commission's credibility.

Citizens' trust: If the Commission can demonstrate that it has listened to citizens' views and incorporated them into its decision-making, it would increase its credibility. This could reduce the critical thinking that is required in decision-making.

Problem-solving capacity: Successfully increasing participation could lead to more effective and timely solutions to problems that concern citizens, thus strengthening the Commission's role as a problem-solver.

b) The European Union

Strengthening democracy: Increasing citizen participation could make EU decision-making more democratic and transparent, which could increase citizens' trust in the EU, i.e. increase its legitimacy.

Increased community: The initiative to provide a European identity and community among the EU, which could lead to deeper integration and cooperation on EU-level issues.

Reduced political tensions: If citizens feel that their voices are heard, it could reduce the impact of populist movements and national tensions among the EU, which in turn would support EU unity.

c) The EU's position in the world

As a global example: A successful Personal EU initiative could raise the EU's position as a global example of democratic values ​​and citizen participation in governance processes, which could have an impact.

Effectiveness in relations between the EU: A stronger and more democratic EU would have more weight in participating in negotiations and decision-making, which could improve its ability to deliver its own values ​​and policies on the ground.

Global cooperation projects: Improved credibility and legitimacy could facilitate cooperation with other international organizations and states, which could lead to more effective global political and economic projects.

In summary, the implementation of a personal EU initiative could strengthen the credibility of the European Commission, improve the internal cohesion of the EU and increase its global influence and status. Of course, successful implementation requires effective and committed implementation at different levels.

Collaboration steps?

• finding the inspiring union-wide “someone-like-me-from-each-union-country” reality

• finding more and more daily level solutions to essential issues/problems

• finding the idea of qualified buying together (because of similar needs)

• finding the idea of doing/selling together (because of similar expertise and synergy requirements and the fact that “we are an union-wide company”).

• finding corporations as friends (because they need precisely right good union-wide skills and entrepreneurship as resources – and as target groups).

• finding the EU with its all organization levels as a friend (because the union loves and needs challenging people who can think, work and innovate union-widely in good understanding).

• finding their role and team friends in the outer world (for making EU “the worlds most advanced innovation society").
