An estimated quarter of a million people gathered in Prague last month. This was the largest demonstration since the Velvet Revolution in 1989. Why did so many people take to the street and what was the result?

I want to propose the same challenge: before the end of this year, invite someone who you demonize, disagree with politically and/or culturally,and don't think you have anything in common with #dialoguecoffee

Who's in? I would love te hear your stories!

Can you come up with an answer to this question: Who do you demonize?

This Danish politician started replying to hate mail and invinting the senders for a coffee. She started that hashtag #dialoguecoffee to challenge people to do the same thing.

‘Slavery is a system in which people lived. Nobody remembered a different system and nobody expected it to ever change. I’m telling you people, in 200 years nobody will eat meat and we’ll look back in horror.’ What other blind spots do you think we have? #QuestionTheFuture

In my search to find out what is causing polarization in Europe, I found the complete opposite of what I expected to find. According to this piece, ending the clash between left and right is exactly what caused more anger and polarization. https://t.co/zfNThsmnwG

The world can be a scary place, and at the same time, we have come far. Let's keep working on it.

Below graph and map (Eurostat, 2018) represent the trade balance of countries in Europe (https://t.co/RsNZkgpOWV). Why is this interesting? Trading behaviour of surrounding countries might have a larger impact on your welfare than you'd expect. #GetMeTheFacts #QuestionTheFuture

Attachment to Europe and the EU seem to be going up (Eurobarometer 2018). Was this what you expected? Why do you think we see an increase in attachment to Europe and the EU? #GetMeTheFacts #QuestionTheFuture

[Question the Future @qtfuture]

How do we find out what is going on in Europe? We ask.

Our mission is to create a better Europe. First step: interview people with wildy different ideas. #QuestiontheFuture
