Embrace diversity

Giving young people the opportunity to meet each other across Europe, to live together, to share, to learn, ... is crucial to strengthen Europe as a community of people and to make young people embrace diversity (so much needed in times of more and more polarisation). By 2040 each youngster has the right for a personal EU mobility budget which he/see can use to go to another European country to live a European mobility experience. This mobility budget builds further on existing EU programmes such as Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps, but is enormously scaled-up. by 2040 it is a normal practice to make use of this practice to support a learning experience in the field of volunteering, studying, exchange, solidarity project, etc., based on own needs. Inclusion is at the core of this programme, i.e. EVERY young European can benefit from it. Extra support (on different levels) is offered for young people with fewer opportunities. Green travel is fully encouraged.

Budućnost za ljudskost i poštenje
In 2040, after numerous failed attempts by certain "perspective" politicians and their "successful" policies, it was finally concluded that man is the center of all events and that the human values of honesty, honesty and above all humanity are most important in the further successful development of life and society as a whole. Freedom assumed by man and his noble ideas of equality and equality of all. Man, not technology, AI or something else that humanity subordinates to the interests of a rich minority who in their greed and selfishness and desire to subordinate others to themselves and their selfish interests that have led to the pollution of the Planet, unrest, wars in Ukraine, the Far East, the Balkans and the destruction of more than half of humanity.

Ζώντας σε αρμονία με τη φύση.
In 2040 people live close to nature without stress. I live with my family near the sea, work out every day and enjoy the environment without environmental threats. I have animals and birds in the yard of my house and I spend many hours caring for them. Harmony with nature is reality.

w krótkim skrócie co nas czeka w niedalekiej przyszłości
I think that in 2040 there will be an increase in the gap between rich and poor areas. Unfortunately, wars and conflicts will probably not disappear, and the strongest countries will take advantage of the poorer ones. I am afraid that the level of environmental pollution will continue to increase and in 2024 humanity will have to support itself with some kind of masks with filters. In addition, we will be surrounded by a multitude of robots, which, among others, will mainly be used in areas such as care for the elderly. In addition, education will change completely in 15 years, traditional books, notebooks, exercises will be completely replaced by multimedia content and artificial intelligence will be used to a much greater extent in this area. Thinking about our country, if we maintain the pace of development, the whole country will develop, many areas will be even more beautiful, villages will become even more suburbs and "bedrooms" for larger cities, where professional work will be concentrated.

Civilization has not collapsed—it has been restored.
In 2040, the world has returned to its roots. Families are strong again, with men as providers, earning fair wages for a four-hour workday—enough to support their loved ones comfortably. There is no more endless striving, no exhausting rat race. Life moves at a natural rhythm. Consumerism has been replaced by mindful living. People buy only what they need, and nothing is wasted. Food is grown by local communities, free from corporate control. Every family has a home, built with care, not mass-produced for profit. The sprawling, soulless cities of the past are gone, replaced by self-sufficient villages where neighbors know and support each other. With less work and more time, people reconnect—with nature, with tradition, with family. Children grow up with their mothers at home, learning real values. The world is simpler, freer, and more human. Civilization has not collapsed—it has been restored.
