I walk down a sunny street in Utrecht, where children sit on benches with their noses deep in books. Not because they have to, but because stories inspire them. In 2030, people realized that technology is great, but it shouldn't kill imagination. So there were reading squares everywhere, interactive libraries and writers telling schools how stories could change the world.

Meanwhile, the walls of new homes were literally growing. We discovered how to make building materials from CO₂ from the air, combined with bio-concrete that regenerates itself. This is how we solve climate problems while building sustainable homes.

In healthcare, something extraordinary has happened. Robots and AI are taking over tasks, but not at the expense of humanity. Care workers actually have more time for patients. Everyone is seen, heard and helped.

And perhaps best of all: people have become milder. We have learned that working together is more rewarding than winning. A smile on the street is normal again, and granting is more important than owning. This is Europe, 2050. And it feels good.

In 2040 it will be a completely different world, everything will be controlled by robots and artificial intelligence. I think there will be no money and even eating habits will change. More solar panels will be developed and we will use more sun. The weather will be around 10⁰c over winter and summers will be longer. Artificial intelligence will take over and we will be creatures of survival

pohodová a klidná budoucnost

The future is very uncertain for a lot of people today and their children. I think it would be great if people didn't have to deal with the complex issue of housing. If good paying jobs were available to everyone so they didn't have to worry about not having a place to live. Just security in the basic necessities of life for everyone. People should also look out for nature, housing with lots of green space, parks, forests, etc. So that young and old have somewhere to go and spend pleasant moments together. It would also be nice if people were not so aggressive and mean to each other. To bring a bit of tolerance, respect and esteem not only for the elderly, but for each other in general. To be able to help each other selflessly when needed, to be able to say hello and even smile. Today's life is terribly chaotic, complex, demanding. It's not easy to make the future better, to make it a little bit sunnier. Learn to solve problems calmly and together. So that parents don't have to deal with health care, like where I'm going to have my baby. Just to try to calm down situations that don't need to be unnecessarily spiked, so that life itself is relaxed even if sometimes things go wrong.

Mobilita, bezpečnost a sociální spravedlnost

The development of electric cars and high-speed rail has led to a better ecology in society. The world has made peace, thus there has been security and justice in the world. Many rules had to be set to make people live in social justice. One common currency became the biggest change. Rapid mobility also increased the opportunities to work abroad.
