Talking to the teams, the experts drew attention to a number of aspects that must be considered when developing the image of the future of the Union. In particular, the composition of the member states, possible trade and economic agreements with third countries, the place of the Union in the global economic architecture, the possible depth and nature of future integration: whether it is necessary to expand the powers of the EEC, whether integration will cover the social and cultural issues of cooperation of countries.
The participants were divided into ten teams and developed their models of the future EAEU. They supported the concepts with slogans and hashtags, illustrations and diagrams.
The first place was shared by two teams. One of them presented an image of the future of the EAEU in the form of a ship, which symbolizes that the countries of the Union are moving towards the same goal in the ocean of globalization. “Towards the welfare of nations through integration and trust” - this slogan, in the opinion of the participants, reflects the future of the EAEU. Uniform quality standards, a unified transport system, the deepening of cooperative ties, including in the cultural and humanitarian space, are all signs of the Union of the Future, in which active, opportunistic, creative and peace-loving people will live.
According to the second winning team, the strength of the EAEU is in its uniqueness. Participants presented the concept in the form of a spiral, which included residents of the association. The spiral embodies the infinity of the development of the union.
Other variations of the future of the EAEU include close cooperation with the European Union, a significant expansion in the number of member states of the Union, the formation of a political association and a common visa space. The following slogans were also offered: "The path to unlimited opportunities", "Convenient - for business, friendly - for people, open - for the world" and others.
