Empowers young people to collaborate locally, regionally and globally to create sustainable solutions for global issues Slide 2 You don't necessarily need a made-up incentive to solve problems. There is a natural need to do so. There is the curiosity, the thirst for knowledge and experimentation, feelings which drive all great scientists and artists. Incentives are useful for boring or dangerous tasks. But these jobs are constantly decreasing and are condemned to disappear, thanks to technology. Consider all those useless bureaucratic jobs, or the inefficiency of our economy, hence we need a new system!
