In trying to find support to my union-wide Personal EU concept, I’ve found that Commissioner Viviane Reding’s future strategy i2010 is from its first beginning – the name – a very human-centric and inspirating initiative. As so many fresh thoughts it however describes its substance from an outdated hierarchic point of view, when it should earn its success by looking at things from an individual’s visual angle.
That’s why I think the human-centric Personal EU idea is an ideal can-opener for i2010. As a matter of fact You could call it i25 to remember what it is all about for 450 million individuals in this union.
VIEW
The Personal EU idea starts from the fact and chance that everyone in the EU has two (2) citisenships: the one of the homeland and the one of the union. This means exciting new possibilities to combine one’s personal, national and “eunal” resources. What a fine characteristic for the third millenium’s European brains! What an opportunity to go on widening yourself as a lifelong learning process.
TEAM
25 countries with own cultures is a fantastic starting point for multiplying yourself to 25 complementary solutions for every problem or challenge. Just pick one team member like You from 5-15-25 sister countries and You are unbeatable – as individuals and as a team. And as an union development unit. Creating is choosing. Why not make computers choose that team for all of us. Then we can on daily level continue as enlargened problem solvers and challengers.
UNDERSTANDING
Languages transport the information carrying the meanings leading to the right solutions making things be better. Everyone should have the chance to use the own native language because only it works in everything precisely enough. And everyone should have the right to receive other’s meanings in his/her own language, too – for the same reason. In our information society computers will learn the converting from Your native language to my native language. The solution is that simple. That means some essential things to entire Europe’s future, too: one of them is the chance to keep all our languages alive and well-covered; and that is unavoidable for taking care of the richness of the union’s unique cultures and unreplaceable nationalities.
CHALLENGE
The European union was not created for nothing – but for everything! If we just are satisfied in being a 7% to 6% to 5% to 4%… aging hermit minority, that will be fine for the fast growing civilisations in other parts of the world. But if we like to be the world’s most dynamic and advanced information society, it is up to us, too. Millions and millions of Personal EU “dream teams” is an exciting and profitable reality – and so natural in our relatively compact area where data networks are not the only practical way to meet eachother’s meanings – to make them work wonders together. The “i” in the Commission’s i2010 is explained to mean information, investment in ict and inclusion, but added to those You can start Your own iLife by opening the whole treasure from its personnally-for-You- right-now-ready-to-go section: individual, identity, inspiration, ideas, interest, increasing, influence, initiatives, income, idyls, ideal, infinity… (and so many more, especially in Your own language).
To finally realise what the “i” in i2010 or in i25 is, You just have to go to the nearest mirror and look at yourself: same head, same body, isn’t it. The next two things to do are the 2010 and the 25.
Be i-centric! OK?
Successful Life-long and Union-wide Cooperation!

A long list of e-mail addresses of friends in different countries is just a list if You don’t have a team tool to connect them together at once.
There are many free and open softwares with some promising features but none with what You really need.
One software help You find and list people with interesting background and challenges. Another is a good team tool – but only for two. Some softwares collect the session information to a well structured database. Some offer chat and video meeting at once. Some make free phone calls. Some…
Where is the free and open system which likes to know Your personal hobby, development and work/business challenges and then offers to You a collection of similar or completing unique individuals representing f.ex. the entire European union – and then online and continuously helps the team work and understand eachothers?
The value of interactive and innovative citizens is so big for the European union and its nations, that for them it would be a very good investment to create a union-wide citizen-centric workspace. Within 5-10 years one of its features could be an European anylanguage-to-anylanguage online translation system, too.
Then we have a much better common union with millions of lifelong Personal EU teams.
Let’s stop waiting and start developing. Successful Cooperation!

Within the next few years the European union needs a big amount of different union-wide human-oriented service and knowledge chains. This is ofcourse a challenge for existing European companies. But it is even a bigger challenge for handsome private citisens who like to reach something more during their lifes than a fixed box in an old fashioned hierarchic organisation. I try to suggest a new kind of organicsation instead of it.
What kind of work, development and hobbies would you love to lead? How about finding (ctrl-F) someone like You from Your EU neighbour countries and then from their neighbours and so on? You don’t have to collect a full EU25 team if You don’t want to, but it would give a certain credibility to Your common operations. Like what? Like buying something essential and nonexpensinve together, refining it and selling it to a good price in Your countries. At the same time You could use your network to just develop yourself or to spend time in common hobbies. This would not be useful only for yourself but a stimulating development for the entire union, too.
OK, but how to collect that “lifelong learning team”? By surfing around. By Googling around. By Skyping around. By (just name it)…
On my front page www.personaleu.net You can click on different EU countries and enter to their virtuartourist-pages which are full of living internationally oriented individuals and their descriptions of their challenges. Join the service (it’s not mine, pitty) and start to grow your Personal EU. Then You can choose some more comfortable team environment for further common developments. Skype could be fine. Or Messenger. Or maybe You know some new open national net environment who should earn a bigger union-wide future. I’m open to all such new solutions and will help You to make them famous.
Just now we live in an exciting and fast moving media environment. Three big communication tools – dotcom, mobile phones and digitv (=3via) – will very soon be integrated to a big interactive system. And we as end users can steer the development to ideal solutions by bringing alive and challenging uses for the planners to solve.
Successful Life-long and Union-wide Cooperation!
