Hey Europe,
Can We Talk?

How can you see the full picture behind today’s political events? How do you critically assess what politicians say ? And how can you avoid narrative traps and personal bias? Chavdar Vlachkov, political economist and analyst, will share the key questions you should ask to get closer to the truth.

Across Europe, we discuss how our societies should be designed to ensure they are equally livable and full of opportunities for all generations. Most of us agree: Societies must be fair. However, your view of what is fair regarding resource distribution and access to decision-making can differ based on your age group and life experience. This week, you'll be asked to develop ideas on how to enhance intergenerational fairness and share them on the European Commission's digital "Have Your Say" platform.

Is AI coming for our jobs? Will it mean mass unemployment, or create new kinds of work? Must we all reskill? And how should schools prepare? Could AI free us from routine tasks and make life more meaningful? And what role should EU policy play in this labour market shift? We’ll discuss these questions with Dragoș Adăscăliței, Research Officer at the EU agency Eurofound.
