A new, future world where empathy and Caring are foremost in how we want to lead our democracies.

Alex is in warm weather - hot. He wakes up whenever he wants, already sweating. He used his free day last month to get informed on what's what and who wants what. He goes down from his apartment to his 'community'. His can rely on his community, they take care of each other. Microcommunities work on different smaller projects, and Alex's project is gardening. Communities are value-based, microcommunities are action-based. It's there he meets with the people he's alwayss (kinda) known. They're from his neighbourhood, school and friends' circle. 

But he's also connected worldwide with other communities. And the other microcommunities in his region. Once a week, they meet and share what each has achieved. On that occasion, they share their problems, experiences, values, desires, future wishes, and possible plans. 

This is part of the worldwide plan to make people attentive to not only themselves, but each other as thinking and feeling people. This way, people manage to understand what they feel and do not only think in the context of themselves, but how they impacts other communities and worlds as well. 

The huge problems of climate change and migrations pushed people together and made them realise, they have to work together, in a sustainable way, to keep all alive. This only works, sustainably, if people pay attention to one another. A new driver of communities, people and democracy around the world is empathy. Seeing each other and caring for one another.

Through augmented reality, we see speakers in parliaments, but also the reports of and the people on the news in our own apartments. Empathy is taught and enforced by being in direct, or at least close contact with the people who have been or could be affected by your choices. A war that starts, in Syria or else, is not ignored anymore, because some of the distressing scenes can be, and are, relayed directly into our homes and communities.
