It seems very important to me that we start slowly returning ‘back to time’, reverting to the community and ‘home’ the individualisation that the modern world requires of us. I believe that we are in the world to survive together – in the sense that not everyone works alone, but it is very important to interdependency from humans and to rely on each other. Everyone would contribute to society which would make up some of the necessary livelihoods. They would live in some kind of shared housing dependent on self-sufficiency and natural resources – i.e. surrounded by nature. I would not go to the job/after corrections each with his own car, but would share or make good bus/rail lines to make it easier to travel. We would resist a capitalist way of thinking that gradually leads society into a divide. People would have the opportunity to stop and breathe, look to themselves and each other. Everyone would have the right to life, a variety of minorities that are often overlooked, LGBTQ+ groups that are oppressed – it would essentially be a borderless world, as the border is an imaginary concept that inspires hatred and nationalism. It would not be absurd who and what we are, because we would all strive for equality and a beautiful tomorrow. In short, it is difficult to describe – but the whole system would work differently. Schools would learn something essential to survival and think outside the contexts in which we need to think today.

Schöne, neue Welt
We live in harmony with nature, food is produced regionally, in good quality and with respect for plants and animals. Spending time together is valuable, but we also respect boundaries and individualism. Long-distance travel is not very important; we appreciate the beauty of our immediate surroundings. It doesn't matter how much someone has, only whether they are happy and make a contribution to society.

Drošība un stabilitāte
It's 2040, I feel safe in Europe, I can travel safely and it's safe to be in my own country, Life is so good because I don't have to worry about any riots or wars. Financial stability finally gives you the opportunity to live like a normal person, who doesn't have to live on potatoes for two weeks until the next salary, which will only be enough to pay the bills or feed the children.

tulevaisuuteni vuonna 2040
In 2040, I imagine that the world will have changed significantly. Technological advances have brought smart cities, using advanced intelligent systems to manage traffic. Cars will drive themselves, and public transport will be fast and environmentally friendly. Energy production is based entirely on renewable sources, such as solar and wind power, which has significantly reduced carbon emissions. People's lifestyles have also changed. Health care is more personalised and technology can be used to anticipate illness before it occurs. Food culture has diversified, with vegetarian diets becoming increasingly popular. Community is important and people are spending more time outdoors in nature, which has improved well-being. All in all, the future looks promising and I hope it will bring peace and sustainable development.

Junalla vaikka mihin
It would be another weekend ahead. We could visit Berlin again. Or maybe Munich. It's so convenient these days, though, to be able to get all over Europe on high-speed trains. In the past, you had to fly or spend hours on boats to get from one place to another. Now, with tunnels and bridges and high-speed railways and trains from Turku to Stockholm and Helsinki to Tallinn, you can get to central Europe and beyond in a few hours.
