From Solidarity to the Future of Europe

Through the technique of future dialogues, the students of the Majorana Scientific High School began by reflecting on their concerns and developed proposals and ideas for a more united and supportive Europe. They focused on the theme of solidarity from the specific perspective of island inhabitants. By intersecting their reflections with the contributions of international participants, the aim is to create a Manifesto on Solidarity, in a place where the most pressing contradictions of our time are experienced — at the “door of Europe.”

WE is a vehicle to amplify underrepresented voices and to strengthen communities and connections, aiming to redefine citizen engagement and access to democracy in the EU.

The journey began in Brussels, with a focus on youth empowerment and democracy. It now arrives in Lampedusa, aspiring to write a new chapter on solidarity.

A land of diversity, Europe bears the traces of a rich history, marked by struggles for peace, human dignity, and democracy.

Today, the European continent is once again facing immense challenges: climate change, migration crises, pandemics, growing inequalities, and energy insecurity. These upheavals reveal a shared urgency: to reinvent our ways of living together, while respecting human beings and ecosystems.

In this manifesto, I would like us to discuss concretely how to develop solidarity, rely on collective action for an easy ecological transition, mobilize and empower islands to adapt to the effects of climate change, and finally, reflect on migration issues, especially for a future in which solidarity is not decreed but built step by step, like a path we forge together.

Let’s build a Europe that rejects imperialisms and capitalisms, and gives dignity to people, not markets.

From Lampedusa, a symbol of humanity at Europe’s borders, we propose to rethink the continent’s future with solidarity as its founding value. In a time marked by migration crises, social inequalities, and climate challenges, we believe that Europe must build a new vision centered on human dignity, fundamental rights, and social justice. This means transforming migration policies into systems of welcome and shared responsibility, ensuring inclusive citizenship that recognizes diversity as a strength, and committing firmly to climate justice. Lampedusa should not be merely a geographic point, but an ethical beacon from which to imagine a more just, open, and united Europe.

More than ever in these times, where being born on the "wrong" side of the map condemns you, labels you, gives you fewer rights and makes your life less valuable, we need to raise our voices, especially with future generations, so that the north vs. south world view is not accepted and that we create a unitary, global response that makes us reflect.

I would like to bring a Europe without borders, without Frontex. I hope in a radical change in the politics of Europe, where rights are guaranteed based on the needs and the presence on the territory and not differenciated by citizenships.

Citizens/individuals’ solidarity manifesto

Create community participation

What do we need to express / practice solidarity?

Day by day solidarity need time and attitude, practice empathy, having time for non productive activities and being together playing music.

Different stories ≠ fear, enemy, security ---> create the condition for solidarity through other naratives

We need the situation to experience different roles, be someone else by playing

Feeling common desires and needs as human beings.

No citizen but individuals/persons: we can clarify this at the beginning of the Manifesto -> citizenship as a concept, in a wider sense

Keeping in mind that the possibility to inact solidarity is a priviledge. Time.
