If I put myself in the year 2040, then the whole world is united. There are no wars and the last weapons are being destroyed. The climate catastrophe has not materialized and world trade is flourishing. Life expectancy has increased because a cure for ageing has been invented. It can go on like this.

We've been moving in a more equal direction, haven't we? Everyone talks about equality, but there really isn't. In the future, I would see women's status as better and more equal. In addition, all people are allowed to be exactly as they are and how they perceive themselves, and there is no attempt to limit these freedoms by law or by articles. Why should everyone fit together in the same mold?

The safety and well-being of all people. Equal opportunities for work and education for children and young people. Politicians listen to the public more. Social justice for challenged groups in society. A place where everyone can live in peace and security. The EU must cooperate more among its Member States in order to create more prosperity and security in the EU. Defence and preparedness, tax also strengthened between countries across the EU. The EU's borders must be protected from large-scale migration and refugees must be received in the number that the EU can cope with economically. .............................................................

The year is 2040, and I wake up in a smart home that adjusts the temperature to my needs and gets its energy solely from the sun and wind. I step out onto the balcony-the city is bustling, but there are no traffic jams or engine noise. Public transportation is fully autonomous and free, and most people get around on bicycles or electric scooters. The biggest change has been in the labor and education system. The four-day work week has become the norm, improving mental health and social relations. Schools have undergone a transformation-instead of rigid programs, students develop skills through practice and projects, learning in virtual labs. The environment is now a priority. Every city has extensive green spaces, and plastic waste has disappeared thanks to new biodegradable materials. Society has become more conscious-people live slower but more fully, taking care of each other and the planet. This is the future I want to see.
