The document discusses the human right of children to feel and be future-oriented. It describes 10 conditions that characterize a future-oriented child, including having a sense of curiosity about the world represented by an "exclamative point"; feeling safe enough to explore through "leaning out"; experiencing continuity in life despite discontinuities; using humor; staying in touch with feelings; searching for meaning; receiving education; and feeling tension between adventures and safety. The presentation argues that violence and authoritarianism impair children's ability to be future-oriented and their right to have a future.
