Europe 2040: A Future of Inclusion, Opportunity, and Innovation

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040, I imagine a Europe that is more inclusive, connected, and fair. Having arrived here just a few months ago, I’ve experienced both the incredible opportunities and the challenges that come with starting fresh in a new place. In the future, I’d love to see a Europe where integration is smoother for newcomers, where cultural diversity is not just accepted but fully embraced.

One of the biggest changes I’d like to see is in employment and education. Many students and young professionals struggle with navigating the job market, especially those coming from different backgrounds. By 2040, I hope there will be a more dynamic and accessible support system one that helps people build careers regardless of where they come from. A future where companies value potential over paperwork, and where equal opportunity is more than just a phrase.

I also see technology and sustainability playing a huge role. Cities will be smarter, public transport more efficient, and daily life more eco friendly. But more than that, I hope Europe will still prioritize community, human connection, and fairness over profit. A place where growth doesn’t leave people behind.

This is the Europe I want to see in 2040 one that welcomes, innovates, and empowers.

Älter werden im Dorf

Anonymous

I have grown older. Together with my partner, I fulfilled my dream of building another house - after all, there was still room in the garden of the old house! It's not any smaller than the old house, but the layout is better. We have moved into the upper apartment - the office in the basement is no longer needed since we retired from work. It now serves as an apartment when children and grandchildren come to visit. Our neighborhood is constantly changing. Separations and deaths bring change. The houses don't stay empty for long. It is very popular to live in the village. People still look out for each other here and living together works. There are lots of activities for young and old, and most people are keen to get involved in voluntary work. All in all, it's a good place to grow older.

retour à la souveraineté des Etats

that the European Union's powers be reduced in favor of the national states that make it up; that Europe (particularly France) become once again a confederation of states in which the member states cooperate but retain their full sovereignty; that the Commission disappear and that the governance of the EU take the form of regular meetings of the Prime Ministers of the member states + possibly a few Ministers concerned by the subjects under discussion. That the so-called "European Justice" disappears, and that the law applicable in member states depends solely on national parliaments, to the exclusion of any intervention by supranational bodies.

Make sense of it all.

I would like to see threats of global warming has been taken seriously and measures to halt its progression is in full force. I would also like to see either IQ tests or common sense tests for people, in charge of government. I also hope religion not to have such a strong hold over weak minds.

Ban on religions, as these are the main drivers of terrorist attacks and wars. AI should be developed with great caution to prevent a possible danger. German politics should be completely rethought, no more party coercion in the parliamentary groups and each party must vote on draft laws. The absence of party coercion means that every member of parliament can also vote in favor of a law of the other party, but also against bills of his party, so that no party would have to come to power alone or through a coalition and a freer democracy would be created.
