The year is 2040 and Europe is a very different place. Instead of crowded roads, castles have become silent and peaceful marvels of technology. Self-driving and autonomous vehicles drive us through green castles, but the air is clean. Renewable sources of energy are rapidly replacing fossil fuels, making the continent self-sustaining. Each building has its own solar-energy grid, and the windows are smart, automatically adjustable depending on the world and weather conditions.

By 2025, there will be a major economic and ecological leap forward. European countries are fighting against climate change, raising standards for sustainability and technology. Greater investment in education has enabled new innovations in medicine, healthcare and display systems. By reducing CO2 emissions, buildings have become areas where people live in balance with nature.

Wanderings are a set of trends in enjoyment. With virtual reality technology, you can visit all corners of the world without leaving your home. But, at the same time, personal relationships have become easier, with digital platforms that allow instant communication with anyone, anywhere.

The future is coming, and we are its creators.

Perception/conscience
December 31, 2040: After several years of political and economic violence in 2025-2027. Little by little, nations have understood that they must live together, balancing the planet's resources. The consciousness of each individual has on the whole developed, gradually leading to a better understanding of one another. Strangely enough, this collective awareness seems to favor the birth of new ideas. Researchers seem to be able to concretize the use and role of light and sound in our interactions with each other and with the globality of our environments. These discoveries have reduced the fascination and power of the AI system, putting it back in its place as a simple development tool; vocabularies are changing, and the means of communication transformed by the use of light matter and sound waves are harmonizing with the development of other species. If I had written this in 2025, I would have been considered an unrealistic utopian. Yet our current preoccupations, awareness that we still have to discover where we are and what our "usefulness" is in this galactic universe. Faith and belief remain strong, all the more so as our researchers are projecting new fundamental discoveries in 2050. In particular, certain filaments discovered during our olfactory explorations have been identified as beings or doorways?

I would like there to be no more borders, but for everyone to work together, regardless of their origin, skin color, gender or sexuality. Everyone should have the same opportunities and not be judged according to the situation they were born into. There should be no more arms industry, so that no weapons can be produced, and all combat-ready equipment must be disposed of or disarmed and repurposed. Humanity must no longer wage wars and must take better care of itself and the world. More green spaces must be created again and the food supply must be organized in such a way that there are no longer such high losses and everything is distributed fairly.

One major change would be in the education system. Up to the sixth form, teaching would be as usual, except that a pupil would be assigned a personal teacher, specially trained for young children and young people, who would explain difficult subjects to them if necessary. From grade 6 onwards, each pupil, taking into account his future plans and personal interests, would draw up his own personal timetable, with optional subjects, and, if necessary, professional help and support in drawing it up. This would give him or her a better preparation for studying the desired profession. The fact that the student draws up his/her own timetable would give him/her more motivation to learn. Some classes or courses could be online, giving the possibility of a flexible timetable. Once a student reaches upper secondary level, he or she would have the choice between a regular programme of classes, with electives and a flexible timetable, or an intensive programme over one year. This would give the opportunity for inquisitive students, including those who go on to university, to enter the labour market earlier, for example medical students. Schools and classes would be equipped according to the specific needs of age groups. These are just some of the changes that would take place in the education system.

For me, social, communal values were always paramount. Material things were only there to provide the necessities of life. Healthy, simple food, preferably home-cooked, leads to a happy life. The food industry is taking the piss out of us just to secure its profits. It's not about people. All the advertising is falsified. Cooperation on a modest basis must be strengthened again. The focus must be more on people. Children must be taught this in their education.
