You have just viewed the outputs of a project that was aimed at supporting and empowering youth in society and finding out their visions of how they would like the future to look in 2035.
From a methodological point of view, a questionnaire survey "future fertilisers" and interviews with experts were carried out. Based on this, the research question "What will healthy relationships look like in 2035" was selected.
This was followed by a deeper dive into the topic and the implementation of a qualitative research about what currently affects the relationships and mental health of young people and what are the predictions for the year 2035, etc.
Several participatory workshops were held with young people in Bratislava and Brussels. With them, visions of the future of relationships were collected. This formed the basis for creating the 7 principles of a world in 2035 in which healthy relationships exist. Relationships were viewed from three perspectives - family relationships, peer relationships, and romantic and community relationships.
A little later, an international Slovak-Belgian group of young people discussed the principles and imagined the world of the future in the details of the so-called protopia. During 5 days, 3 short videos were created that capture the world of the future of relationships as young people see them. These videos are created in order to provoke from individual reflection to social discussion.
The project was financially supported by the Erasmus+ programme.
