A new Guinness World Record achieved by Poles in Poland today. Quite young content creator launched new kind of fundraising linked to the ten-day long non-stop LIVE stream on YouTube.
That unusual action aimed at helping children with fighting cancer. Plenty of Polish celebrities visited his small apartment in Warsaw to express their full support in front of over 1 million viewers. It made the event even greater. The amount of raised money reaches £50m.
There's also a big bunch of related social outputs. One of them is that unique tattoo you can see on the picture. This one is located now on the arm of my smart grandson living in Poland. For more, go to: YT

Easter Monday is something different in the Polish cultural prism, much more water-related than anywhere in te world. Someone pours a bucket of tap water on you and it is generally accepted, according to the local mindset in that EU country. Old custom but water makes a lot of fun to young Poles even now.
Something different has been happening in relation to the southern and western European waters since 2015. About 40k people drowned in the Mediterranean Sea, including almost 1k this year alone. In the English Channel, two new deaths have been recorded lately. Young people die in the water instead of enjoying life they have just started.
What's going on with our world? Global North & Global South seem to be different worlds. On one hand, we've got ageing populations and rising unemployment due to the AI and robotics. On the other hand, we've got rapidly growing populations and 90% of 'Gen Z' in informal economy. We can go to the Moon but we can't solve migrant crisis?
Migrant crisis is rapidly reshaping European politics. One naked Black man, unexpectedly crossing a bridge in the eastern Europe, can imply more negative emotions against ruling political parties than most of everyday challenges we face in the Global North. Why? Because of migration policies that really underestimate "Human Value Factor".
There's some old habit we still use to win over migrant crisis. We truly believe that bigger and stronger walls can do the job. Obviously, walls are integral part of border security. They can save us from thugs and secret agents. But most of migrants are ordinary humans. Holding all of them at the wall lets bad people sneak in much easier, I'm afraid.
Why not add human option to solve the crisis? Why not let migrants return to progressive jobs in safe origin countries? Up to 82% want to go home voluntarily. And returns work almost instantly. We show it in "Local Return Hub F4A". 9 out of 10 criteria already met, but Europe is not exploring 'Blue Ocean' of jobs in BigData even for its youth yet.

Is the UK first ever 'safe third country' with active relocations status for the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum? It looks like, for the right-wing politicians at most. But the answer is "NO". No, even in front of the fact that over 1000 people came from the EU to the UK this week again.
This week brought two crucial things relating to migration challenges all we face in Europe. First one is the EU definition of 'safe third country' (when it comes to deporting migrants coming to the EU from or via countries free from conflicts and - what's essential - fully willing to take people back from the European Union).
The other thing is something related to the "Local Return Hub F4A", which seems to be the only working methodology for voluntary returns (that entire Europe can offer to migrants from safe countries of origin). So, we got a message from the EU Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency saying we were... REJECTED.
But... Having seen the evaluation, it surprised us much. They say that 9 out of 10 criteria are all right. The only one implying rejection is lack of the 20% pre-commitment for the investment! It's nothing unusual when you do innovative startup focused on making money. But we do a social innovation startup to deal with migration crisis.
According to our real-world knowledge & field experience in migrant crisis, voluntary returns are the only way to secure the future of Europe. Europe is ready to cope with everything but migration issues. Number of migrants in Europe and round the European borders is just too big to move ahead with old methodologies.
Up to 82% of migrants can return voluntarily to the SDG8 managerial jobs in safe origin countries, when we've got that 20%. It's not much at all. £500k is almost nothing to let go a great stream of returns based on local development in the most challenging areas of Africa. Nobody but us with such a working methodology, in fact.
