Una normale giornata nel 2040
4 April 2040. It's a day like any other: I leave home and comfortably reach my office thanks to the 44, an electric bus that allows me not to stress driving and to relax listening to the news from the world that go by wire. For lunch, I spend an hour in nature, eating in the park near the office, in one of the many areas equipped with benches, tables and baskets for separate collection. I can always feel connected thanks to the public wi-fi coverage of the city and, thanks to this, I organize and book an aperitif with my friends to unplug after a day of work.

Schöne Welt
The morning sun falls through my window, and I breathe in the fresh air. My housing estate is built sustainably, with lots of greenery, clean water and healthy food for everyone. I feel the energy in my body – all the years of conscious movement and good decisions have been worth it. Outside, I meet people from different cultures, but we all share the same values: Respect, equality and community. No one has to fight for fundamental rights – education, healthcare and co-determination are a matter of course for everyone. In my studio, I work on ergonomic tools that make everyday life easier for people with special needs. Thanks to new technologies, I can design individual aids that enable real self-determined life. In the evening I meet with friends who share my values. We not only celebrate our successes, but also the way to get there – because we know that life is more than just functioning. 2050 is not perfect, but it is a place where health, equality and community are no longer dreams, but lived reality.

In 2040, we live in a Europe where sustainability and community are at the heart of our society. Cities are green, with vertical forests and solar-powered transportation systems that have made polluted streets a thing of the past. Nature is integral to our lives and biodiversity thrives in both rural and urban environments. Science has made breakthroughs that have eradicated many diseases and we live healthier lives with a focus on prevention and well-being. Technology and artificial intelligence support us in our everyday lives, but without removing human contact - on the contrary, we have more time for each other. Europe is a model for the rest of the world, where cooperation between nations has created a stronger, fairer and more peaceful union. We have proven that innovation and solidarity can go hand in hand - and that the future is bright when we imagine it together.

Zukunftsvision
The most important thing is to seek global justice. This will be very difficult to achieve because people pursue individual goals. Another important issue is the climate and the environment. We must also protect this for future generations. Safety for each individual is also important. We must overcome wars and stand for peaceful coexistence. For this we must stand up for democracy, because it is the system that creates peaceful coexistence. Other social systems have not brought this, but only oppression, unfreedom, injustice and wars. I hope we will achieve some of these goals in 2040. It is my wish and I am very confident that we can do it together. Everyone has to work on the future, because only if everyone has a common goal can we make it happen.
