I hope and expect that our empathy for those from afar will increase in the next 20 years, and the international mobility of vulnerable people will not be as difficult and exhausting as it is today.

On the one hand, I would like 2040 to be a year in which those who are forced to flee their homes due to human or climatic catastrophes do not face unnecessary obstacles in their flight, resulting from prejudice and discrimination. I close my eyes and I see reception centres which respect and promote human rights, politicians that do not trade with border control measures, administrations that protect vulnerable people, laws that do not curtail human rights under any pretext or justification, and judicial systems that do not deviate from such red lines.

In addition, I also hope that those who cannot develop their full potential in their home country will be able to access the facilities we have in Europe, either to bring that talent back home or to stay in the EU. At present, the legal pathways to access the EU territory are mainly focused on people with higher education, entrepreneurs or people with some purchasing power. However, I believe that the ideal is to open up more circular migration channels through which those who do not have much can have a better future. This is not only "in our interest" because it would reduce irregular immigration, but I believe it should be an obligation, as a significant world power.

In my vision of an ideal 2040, mobility should be open to all - not a headache for those who need to flee or a utopia for those who cannot afford it.

I would like to see a calmer environment than before; people should live peacefully side by side and let everyone live. There should be no envious people all people will have many opportunities to live out their career aspirations. everyone should be able to afford a nice apartment in which they can look after a family. no more terror and people running amok Children should be able to grow up in security and feel safe

2040 is running. We are in Andalusia, a newly created republic that functions economically, socially and culturally as a private, self-contained region. The representatives of this region have excellent diplomatic relations with their neighbours, the other smaller regions. It has no impatience, no resentment, no envy and no false moves. The Homeland is focused on the needs of the people and works hard for the benefit of society. The biggest promise is in the economy. Large companies (companies with over 500 employees) are banned. The basis of the economy is agriculture, zanati, cultural tourism in the smaller community. The real issue is the growth of the economy. The rule is that the owner of a company cannot live more than 6 days away from the last owner. New gardens and schools are being built in the region every year, and a great deal of attention is being paid to various adult education programmes. Certain major issues are decided by referendum. The Mayor is elected every 4 years and the highest representative can only hold office for 5 years. Castles, towns and villages pay great attention to energy efficiency, so wind turbines are built and solar panels are used. There is a growing solidarity between people and the honour of spending a certain number of days a year volunteering in hospitals, schools and the environment.

It is the year 2040 Sweden has never been this safe since 1960. Everyone has jobs and there is a high standard of living. People are working and can afford to buy houses and cars. there has not been a single shooting in 2 years. Productivity in society has increased. Sweden has never been this successful ever. The population of Sweden is 15 million several big cities are built the municipal traffic is faster. And we have planted lots of forest so Sweden is green and beautiful. Sweden has strengthened defense strict borders. Gang crime no longer exists and you have the right to freedom of expression again. Electricity is produced by nuclear power and ways have been found to recycle uranium for sustainable electricity production. We have also produced fewer cars and invested more in public transportation. Sweden is more free and you get a better education in school and kids who are messy get detention again as it was before

I would like to see free movement of European citizens in Europe, Europe to be governed by a central government that ensures equity in the distribution of essential services, health, education and jobs. Have created a central defense system of both law enforcement for territorial security and a united army for border defense. Have the ecological transition not be imposed but a natural evolution of everyone's well-being with incentives for the development of green technologies making the most of natural resources without compromising the ecosystem in the various states. Have free movement of goods on dedicated facilities minimizing interference with civilian traffic and minimizing pollution produced. Create university hubs where students can develop their aptitudes without social and economic discrimination. A health care system that guarantees equal care for all and with research hubs where research can be financed for the welfare of the population, cozy facilities where it is possible to spend the years of one's life with dedicated care. Environmentally sustainable city redevelopment programs with parks, sports facilities and places for recreation.
