At the end of the day, every Neuland is the same. The world is constantly changing, but its discouraging structures remain. However, “the world” does not even exist. What is understood by it is a vast and complex, even contradictory system of perspectives and realities. We know about the enormous issues of the present: The list is long, and the buzzwords fill all the headlines. Entrenched structures and rigid beliefs are preventing future generations from embracing the future with confidence. The old, long surpassed by realities, is reproduced, consciously or unconsciously.

People’s fear of change leads them to close their eyes to the obvious. In fact, the pain and suffering of the individual should be the smallest common ground for collective responsibility. Desire is emerging for healing, for overview, for managed and secured pathways. The prognoses present at times such an eerie dystopia that we are right to be frightened. Still, a pro-active future is not a utopia, but an act of strength. Those who remain passive cannot shape it. It is up to us to ask how we want to use human resources in the future and whether the future we are moving towards is truly the one we want.
