Investing in pandemic prevention and response efforts is paramount for global health security. The COVID-19 pandemic exemplified the devastating impact of pandemics on health, economies, and societies globally. Proactive investment not only saves lives but also mitigates economic disruptions. We must prioritize and scale up funding to strengthen health systems, enhance surveillance, and accelerate the development of medical technologies to better prepare for future health crises.

I believe children should not have smartphones before high school. Smartphones can be distracting and negatively affect their social and academic development. It's important for kids to spend time engaging in face-to-face interactions and outdoor activities.

I believe the EU should celebrate entrepreneurship because it fosters innovation, drives economic growth, and empowers individuals to solve the world's pressing challenges. Celebrating entrepreneurship inspires the next generation of leaders and creators.
