I want a country


"I want a country"


I want a country

Let the sky be blue, the bough green, the cornfield yellow
Let it be a land of birds and flowers

I want a country

Let there be no pain in the head, no yearning in the heart
Let there be an end to brothers' quarrels

I want a country

Let there be no rich and poor, no you and me
On winter days let everyone have house and home

I want a country

Let living be like loving from the heart
If there must be complaint, let it be of death

πώς οραματιζόμαστε την τέλεια πόλη

3ο ΓΕΛ Νέας Φιλαδέλφειας                                                    ΕΥτοπία
ΜΙΛΤΟΣ ΚΟΥΝΤΟΥΡΑΣ                                                     μια ευρωπαϊκή ουτοπία

ΠΩΣ ΟΡΑΜΑΤΙΖΟΜΑΣΤΕ ΤΗΝ ΤΕΛΕΙΑ ΠΟΛΗ

Ονειρευόμαστε μια πολιτεία όπου
  • Θα υπάρχουν μόνο διώροφες μονοκατοικίες με μεγάλους κήπους
  • Θα υπάρχει πολύ πράσινο και ταρατσόκηποι
  • Οι συγκοινωνίες θα είναι δωρεάν, τακτικές και θα γίνονται με διάφορα υπέργεια, επίγεια και υπόγεια μέσα (κυρίως με ποδήλατα, skate-board, δορυφορικά λεωφορεία και ιπτάμενα οχήματα)
  • Χρησιμοποιούνται αποκλειστικά οι ανανεώσιμες μορφές ενέργειας
  • Οι υπηρεσίες υγείας και περίθαλψης είναι δωρεάν για όλους
  • Η παιδεία είναι δωρεάν, ανθρωπιστική ενώ θα υπάρχει επαγγελματική εκπαίδευση στο Λύκειο
  • Η οικονομία θα βασίζεται στη γη, τη βιοτεχνία, το εμπόριο, τη βιομηχανία, τις υπηρεσίες, την τεχνολογία, τον τουρισμό, τον πολιτισμό, τη μάθηση και θα γίνεται επίσης ανταλλαγή προϊόντων και υπηρεσιών
  • Θα υπάρχει μόνο μία κοινωνική τάξη: η μεσαία τάξη
  • Θα υπάρχει αξιοπρεπής εργασία για όλους
  • Το πολίτευμα θα είναι η άμεση δημοκρατία ώστε οι αποφάσεις να λαμβάνονται με ψήφο από κάθε πολίτη
  • Όλοι οι πολίτες θα είναι Χριστιανοί
  • Δεν θα υπάρχει βία και διαφθορά
  • Θα επικρατεί η αγάπη, η ειλικρίνεια, η νομιμοφροσύνη, ο σεβασμός στη διαφορετικότητα και η αλληλεγγύη
Τέλος, θέλουμε η Πόλη μας να είναι ανεξάρτητη και αυτόνομη

Πώς οραματίζεστε εσείς την ιδανική κοινωνία;

OUR VISION OF THE PERFECT CITY

We envisage the ‘perfect city’ as a place where
  • There are only two-storied detached houses with large gardens
  • There are plenty of green areas and rooftop gardens
  • Renewable forms of energy are used
  • There is free, regular public transport by all kinds of ground-underground and air means of transport (bikes, skate-boards, flying vehicles and shuttle-buses)
  • There is free health care for all
  • Education is free and humanistic while there is also vocational training in high school
  • The economy is based on the land, commerce, crafts, industry, technology, services, tourism, culture, learning as well as the exchange of goods and services
  • There is decent employment for all
  • There is only one social class: the middle class
  • There is direct democracy in which decisions are made by all citizens by voting
  • There is no violence or corruption
  • There is lawfulness, love, respect to the ‘different’, honest and solidarity
  • All citizens are Christian
Last, we would like our CITY to be independent and autonomous!

What about you?

Reaching "the ideal society"


1st High School                             EU-topia: A European Dream City 
of Pefki



First try of reaching “ideal society”


a) The ideal form of government would be democracy as it was put in practice in Ancient Greece.


b) The power of justice should be independent.



c) There should be meritocracy and equal opportunities in terms of work.



d) All means of public transportation should have the minimum cost for citizens.



e) There should be investment in the primary sector of the country and in the natural wealth (water, sun, wind, etc.)



f) Students should de given the opportunity to specialize in their field of knowledge while they are still in school.



g) Public health is something that concerns all of us, therefore there are needs to be a strong effort to improve it. To all the people offered medical care and medicines when needed without the high cost.



h) In our ages, we see people living in a country coming from different cultural and ethic backgrounds. It is important to educate everyone about multiculturalism and the need to respect each other for who they are. All people were equal regardless of any possible differences and whether they had the right to participate in public affairs.



i) Intercultural relations in a country is the key to line in harmony. Would be good for society to make intercultural events to know other cultures and therefore not to be nationalists.



k) From the youngest to the oldest person living in a country, it is their strong responsibility to contribute in each own way to the protection of the environment. The best for society would be to watch the environment by organizing various volunteer events.
