Family first

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040 I will have a 19, a 24 and 26 year old. I hope that we are able to stay close as a family. We would be able to live in close proximity with each other so I can help my children start their own lives. House prices are more reasonable so they don't have to move far away. I can see them often, child mind my grandchildren and travel with them. I don't want my children to be swamped with debt from huge mortgages, I want them to be able to continue their careers after having children and not have to give up work because of lack of affordable childcare. I us to able to travel together both locally and on ferry to France and UK without it being cheaper to get a flight to Spain for a week than stay locally for a weekend. I want our local government to put people first, building communities instead of just houses. I want my children not to have to worry about going to the doctors because it's too expensive or where will their children go to school because there isn't enough spaces for the amount of houses built. I want my children to be happy and to be able to make memories with them. I want my future to be family!

My vision of the European Union is a Union of tolerance and understanding, where people can actively listen to each other, regardless of age, gender, race, nationality or other factors. In this EU, from a young age, at all levels of education, children will be guided not to memorise and pressure on performance as human stands, but will be more encouraged to use different sources of information, including digital books, but to learn through intergenerational sharing of knowledge and experience between children, parents, grandparents and educational institutions : Primary schools, secondary schools, colleges, universities, leisure centers, social services facilities and so on. Thanks to the automation of many processes, people will not be so pushed into performances, but they will have more time to care for each other if, for example, someone gets sick or finds themselves in a difficult life situation. I dream, also, of a future where healthy competition among people in school collectives, at work, but also among people in personal life will remain, but will be limited by ethical principles of decency, kindness and emotional intelligence. The teacher will no longer be the owner of the truth, he will lead his students to critical thinking using various tools and technologies. I would like society to be less polarised in 20 years, to focus on what unites us, not what divides us. I dream of a modern and progressive world that will be more accepting and where people will be people again.
