V rámci projektu ConnectGREEN, ktorý sa zameriava na obnovu a manažment biokoridorov v horských regiónoch povodia Dunaja, vznikla aktivita zameraná aj na deti a mládež. Štátna ochrana prírody SR spoločne s partnermi – WWF Slovensko, Slovenská agentúra životného prostredia a SPECTRA Centrum Excelencie EÚ pri STU v Bratislave, spúšťajú video súťaž s názvom „Konektivita pre všetkých“.
Disponibilita nájomných bytov je jedným z kľúčových faktorov flexibility, mobility a zároveň stabilizácie kvalifikovanej pracovnej sily tam, kde ju ekonomika potrebuje. Má teda nielen sociálny, ale aj ekonomický rozmer. Slovensko výrazne zaostáva za vyspelými krajinami i krajinami V4 v počte nájomných bytov, a preto je posilnenie tohto segmentu bývania objektívnou potrebou a legitímnym politickým cieľom. Túto potrebu identifikuje jednoznačne aj analýza spracovaná tímom priestorového plánovania zo SPECTRA Centra pri STU a reflektuje návrh Vízie a stratégie rozvoja Slovenska do roku 2030 pripraveným pre Vládu SR v širokom participatívnom procese poprednými domácimi aj zahraničnými odborníkmi. Vláda pod vedením Smeru však nikdy nenabrala odvahu na schválenie tohto materiálu nastavujúceho nielen zrkadlo do minulosti, ale hlavne definujúceho potrebu zmeny v štýle vládnutia.
Súčasná kulminujúca kríza spôsobená epidémiou CoVid-19 zmenila mestá na nepoznanie, v krátkodobom i dlhodobom horizonte. Zatvorené prevádzky, vyprázdnené ulice, nemocnice pripravujúce sa na veľký nápor pacientov, ale aj iné prejavy ako rozšírené možnosti pre home office, obmedzené úradné hodiny verejných inštitúcií a iné sprievodné javy tejto krízy nám ukazujú, že to, čo sme si dlho nevedeli predstaviť, sa zrazu stáva nutnosťou a najmä to, že mnohé postupy sa javia ako efektívne alternatívy. Sem patria videokonferencie nahradzujúce osobné stretnutia či konferencie. Ukazuje sa, že mnoho menších stretnutí naozaj nahradí jeden dlhší email a v neposlednom rade je to práve otázka školstva, kde sa doteraz od čias Márie Terézie v zásade nezmenil spôsob podávania informácií.
