Responsibility for Our Future, for Each Other
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Nov 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Europe, the cradle of human civilization always occupied a special place in the history of mankind. Its unique colourfulness was the source of many enmities but also served as the motor of change and progress. Ever since the first cave paintings and songs of man, art mirrored this colourfulness, and as societies evolved, art became a powerful tool, shall we say weapon in the hands of intelligent thinking, reflecting on the events of the world. For centuries, most important of these reflective art forms was literature, because it could best describe ideas, worries and solutions for the problems of civilization.In these troubled times literature seems to be in a disadvantage compared to the visual arts, audiences favour ready-made moving pictures over the visions of one’s own imagination. But nevertheless, literature is here to stay, competing with new, electronic forms for the attention of people who are interested in ideas. The best medium for these ideas is fiction and most of all speculative fiction. It reaches out to the minds of readers young and old, grabs them and through the deception of entertainment makes them realize serious issues about ourselves, about our world, about our past, present and future.This project’s objective is to collect, translate and present a kind of literature to the readers that gives food for thought in the form of visions and warnings and "dangerous" ideas. It will influence Hungarian audiences most directly but also those of the neighboring countries and, hopefully, on some level, the whole of the EU. Because responsibility is the key to progress, a responsibility for our fellow men, from the microcosm of family to civilizational heights, that will make a better future possible. A responsibility for each other.
