Following a longer dialogue in the sense of a dialogical aesthetic in the Antrhopociene (the working title of my artistic research) with ChatGPT, the following vision emerged:

In 2040, Europe has undergone a profound transformation and has become a model of regeneration, spirituality, peace and an integral world vision integrating European and non-European indigenous wisdoms. This vision shows how civil society processes and the public interest economy are involved in this transformation process:

1. Participatory communities:
European cities and regions have developed a culture of active participation and participation. Citizens shape local decisions and projects, leading to vibrant and committed communities.

2. Public service enterprises:
Europe has experienced a blooming period of companies in the public interest. In addition to profit-making, these companies actively promote social and environmental responsibility and promote fair working conditions.

3. Education for sustainability:
The education system in Europe emphasises the importance of sustainability, ethics and social engagement. Schools and universities encourage students to work for environmental protection, peace and the common good.

4. Ecological neighbourhoods:
European cities have become ecological neighbourhoods where sustainable construction and renewable energy are promoted. People live in green communities and share resources.

5. Cultural diversity and integration:
Europe has experienced a cultural renaissance characterised by the integration of diverse cultural influences. Artists and creators from different backgrounds enrich the cultural landscape.

6. Intergenerational dialogue:
Society promotes intergenerational dialogue and respects the knowledge and experience of older people. Communities are characterised by a sense of attachment between the young and the old.

7. Health and prevention:
Europe has focused on preventive medicine and holistic healthcare. People pay attention to their physical and mental health and use natural curative methods.

8. Global cooperation:
Europe is actively working with countries and regions around the world to address global challenges. Together, they are committed to peace, environmental protection and social justice.

9. Regenerative agriculture:
European agriculture has embraced regenerative practices that restore soils and promote biodiversity. Farmers use organic farming methods.

10. Indigenous wisdoms and common good:
Europe has integrated indigenous wisdoms from different cultures and uses them as a source of inspiration for community projects, environmental protection and social justice. These wisdoms emphasise the importance of the balance in nature and the common good.

Civil society processes and the public interest economy have played a crucial role in shaping and promoting this holistic vision for Europe in 2040. They have shaped a society based on values such as cooperation, sustainability, social justice and respect for nature. Europe lives in line with the spiritual dimensions of life and honours the diversity of indigenous wisdoms that contribute to regeneration, peace and harmony.

Very nice survey! Well done

Still peace (but not in the sense of no wars), in the sense of societal peace, harmony between genders, between ethnic groups, between socio-economic groups. Social justice.

Solidarité et liens intergenerationnels

Anonymous

Je voudrais un future ou il y aurait plus de solidarités entre les jeunes et les personnes âgés pour lutter contre l isolement social. Plus d espaces de rencontres et de vie ou les différentes générations de mélangent via un soutien mutuel (garde d enfants, conseils de vie, informatique ou juste passer du temps ensemble)

Visiting European friends by train

Anonymous

I hope we will all work less. The 5-day workweek becomes an ancient concept of the last century. With a 3-day default workweek, I have time to visit my friends and family across Europe, by train. As the train network is increasingly developed and invested in, trains have become regular and affordable.
