The morning dawned with sunlight breaking through the glass dome that surrounded the Eco-City. I woke up in my zero-energy apartment and watched the drones go to work maintaining the city's gardens. The window of my room looked out onto vertical greenhouses growing fresh fruit and vegetables right in the centre of the city, providing healthy food for the residents.

After breakfast, I went to my job at the European Innovation Centre. My route took me through green parks. In the afternoon, I attended the opening of an exhibition showcasing the latest technologies to help combat climate change. I was proud that my team had developed a new energy storage solution that made solar and wind energy even more efficient.

The evening came with a town festival where people gathered to enjoy local art, music and gastronomy. I stood under the starlit sky and was happy to live in a world where people have achieved a balance with nature and technology. The world is finally at peace and harmony between peoples.

It's been 2040 and I still remember 2025. A year of turmoil over the war in Ukraine, price rises, anger. Anger in most people's hearts. I wouldn't have thought that 2040 would be a completely different year. We will have freedom for love, freedom for culture and stronger education for children at school on everyday issues. We have become happier, more understanding and less public anger. Our world became more beautiful, and so little was needed, just love.

Mental health issues are becoming more and more topical. In the future, already since kindergarten children, we have raised awareness of how to live a more fulfilling life by shaping our habits-sleep, nutrition, movement are balanced and ensure vitality and longevity, and there are skills on how to help yourself on mental health issues and notice the concerns of others.

Science takes over
It's 2040, and I'm walking through the streets of Kortrijk. The air is cleaner than I could have ever imagined when I was a child. Above me float transparent solar panels that are integrated into the architecture, almost invisible but responsible for generating 80% of the electricity in the city. The scientific revolution has also transformed our health. CRISPR-Cas13 technology has led to gene therapies that can treat previously incurable diseases. The average life expectancy has risen to 95 years, while maintaining quality of life.
