Tomorrow area

The Tomorrow area consists of a system of interrelated projects sharing a common goal: determine Ukraine's role and place in the global community from the viewpoint of human development, consciously seek and choose Ukraine’s future on its way of combining spirituality and welfare, implicit observing human rights, and accomplishing the UN’s Millennium Development Goals.

This area envisages broad public discussion of and forming a strategy for Ukraine’s development, aimed at harmonious development of the person and the country.

The Foundation’s work in the Tomorrow area was caused by understanding of the fact that an effective modern state is based upon high legitimacy of the state power, citizens’ trust, and public consent about the direction in which this country should move.

The basis of the Foundation’s work in this direction is the Public Strategy of Ukraine’s Development project. Its goal is defining the Ukrainians’ system of values, considering the fact that the society and state should concentrate their attention on the people.

A natural sequel to this work is the project titled Human Development in Ukraine and Abroad: A Look into the Future. This project’s major task is help the society to define and realize the strategy for harmonious development of a person and the country in the civilized world. The project is to launch a process of renewing value system for people and the country; favor filling the sources for human development, implement systemic approach to reflecting real process of human development, and create new criteria and indicators for evaluation of the country’s and society’s successful development.

The project’s result is to be documented in a strategy and a series of documents, adopted at a public forum, outlining Ukraine’s future aimed at harmonious human development.

The Tomorrow area envisages a permanent forum for discussing and elaborating decisions dealing with Ukraine’s future and expressing public opinion on the issues of Ukraine’s and Ukrainians’ development.

This area is meant to become one of the instruments to secure and implement global partnership for achieving the global community’s goals and agreements regarding the development of the people and the environment: the Millennium Development Goals, stable human development, and renewing global harmony.
