A happy centre (Ένα χαρούμενο κέντρο)

In 2040, the future of the traffic issue in Greece will differ. There will be more parks and gardens in the centre of cities and roads will have been reduced. The traffic will be in electric-powered cars, which will be available for hire so that every citizen can park their car and move with their rental car. The car parks will be located at the entrance to the city centre and will be available free of charge. The journey will be by electric bicycles, scooters and cars, and the money from the rental of electric vehicles will be used to maintain gardens and parks. Shops will operate easily and shop owners will use alternative energy sources for their shops. Citizens will work in decentralised businesses and the city centre will be at the moment of their day’s leisure with poles in gardens, parks, sports activities, public libraries, free chek up health for citizens, but also spaces with speeches on issues of concern to society at both economic, political and social level.
The Communication will be an action and plastic packaging will be reduced by 80 %.
Citizens will be able to feed themselves from the gardens located in the centre as there are tables and trees that produce fruit for all citizens.
There will be no homeless fellow citizens because there will be shelters for them and will meet their needs in return for working in and maintaining them in the best way. This will also be productive and living in good conditions.
With regard to technology everywhere, computers and mobile phones will be available so that at any time a citizen can contact abroad and be informed or working in a nature- and human-friendly environment.

I care about our quality of life.
I care about our quality of life. I believe that we have drifted away from our human nature and consequently from nature/environment, which - let us not forget - we are its species. This of course has an impact on many things and first of all on health. I would like to see human-centred policies implemented in all aspects of everyday citizenship. To put people, their mental health, their personal progress and flourishing first. To pay attention to how satisfied (and why not, happy) people feel about their lives. What really matters to them?

A future of support and care gor each others wellbeing and mental health
In 2040, Europe has blossomed into a society where kindness is the foundation of everyday life. People naturally support each other’s mental health, treating one another with compassion, patience, and respect. Bullying, cruelty, and exclusion have faded into the past, replaced by communities where empathy and understanding are taught from childhood. Workplaces, schools, and public spaces are filled with encouragement, and mental well-being is nurtured as carefully as physical health. Neighbors look out for one another, strangers offer warmth, and love and solidarity are the true currencies of the future.

Na ceste modernejšej akceptujúcej, kriticky mysliacej a rozumne konajúcej spoločnosti
Moja vízia Európskej únie je únia tolerantná a chápavá kde sa budú môcť vedieť ľudia navzájom aktívne počúvať bez ohľadu na vek pohlavie, rasu národnosť, či iné faktory. Deti budú v tejto EÚ už od malička, na všetkých stupňoch vzdelávania, vedení nie k memorovaniu a tlaku na výkon ako ľudské stoje, ale budú viac vedení k tomu, aby vedeli využiť rôzne zdroje informácií vrátane tých knižných digitálnych, ale učiť sa medzigeneračným zdieľaním poznatkov a skúseností medzi deťmi rodičmi, starými rodičmi a vzdelávacími inštitúciami : Základné školy, stredné školy vysoké školy, univerzity, centrá voľného času zariadenia sociálnych služieb a tak ďalej. Vďaka automatizácií mnohých procesov, nebudú ľudia tak tlačení do výkonov, ale budú mať viac času starať sa jeden o druhého, ak niekto napríklad ochorie alebo sa ocitne v ťažkej životnej situácií. Snívam, tiež o budúcnosti, kde zdravá súťaživosť medzi ľuďmi v školských kolektívoch, v práci, ale aj medzi ľuďmi v osobnom živote zostane, bude však ohraničená etickými zásadami slušnosťou, vľúdnosťou a emočnou inteligenciou. Učiteľ už nebude majiteľ pravdy, bude svojich žiakov viesť ku kritickému mysleniu s využitím rôznych nástrojov a technológií. Prial by som si, aby spoločnosť o 20 rokov bola menej polarizovaná, aby sme sa zamerali na to čo nás spája, nie to, čo nás rozdeľuje. Snívam o modernom a pokrokovom svete ktorý bude viac akceptujúci a kde budú ľudia opäť ľuďmi.
