OPENING AUTHORITY (ΚΑΙΝΟΥΡΓΙΑ ΑΡΧΗ)

The digital age that should mark people’s improved and more comfortable lives has shifted a balance of modern human beings. Any real feeling and experience is now considered obsolete and anything we are new to try, banal. Social networks determine our relationships, which either do not expand or do not evolve to a large extent in their absence. At the same time, society suffers from difficult economic problems. Corrupt governments of states could only bring the situation to the end of the barley. A barbour that can only be crossed with real values. But also. Ethical principles are missing from governments, civil servants, education, young people from all over the world. Every act is considered normal as long as it satisfies our egoism. And if this egoism leads to at least one subtle spiritual investigation or an attempt to rehabilitate the labour market, we are lucky. Because most of them imitate the prominence and dreams. Most try to win the beauty when it should not have a place in their lives. What beauty do we talk to? Each defines it differently. The issue is that what is now considered to be a “coul” is often the one that destroys the whole. But everything is good! The cigarettes in each recess are scattered, such as margarites on a mountain pasture, and the graffiti are fired in the urban galleries, making a spectacle... What beautiful our cities are! Car smoke does not disturb us. Forgotten bins do not tempt us. It is enough that our cities are not flooded by climate change. It is enough that COP27 did not discuss us at all, but about something bitter African farmers who cannot feed their children.

If at least half of these problems could be solved by 2040, I would be happy. But we will find the values to bridge the gap between modern realities and real life?

Моята мечта
When I turn 40 I want life in Bulgaria to be not so expensive life and not so much malice in people ! I want all needy children and elderly to be given more attention as well as pension increases ! I would like 2040 to be a more humble and peaceful year when we go home to feel relaxed and at ease and not under pressure of what we will do tomorrow ! I want my children to be responsible and good people by then not to be greedy and money hungry to be persistent and studious !

The future of EU
I really hope we can solve this crisis somehow and use it to make an opportunity. We must spend much more money for our safety and spend more money to create a strong European army and do all of our best to stop global warming for once and for all

Μια μέρα στο 2040
The sun rises over New Athens, a city that marries tradition with technology. The streets are quiet, as all vehicles are electric and autonomous. Travel is fast with high-speed underground trains and flying taxis powered by solar energy. Today marks the 10th anniversary of Europe's transition to renewable energy. Old industrial sites have been converted into vertical farms, ensuring fresh food for all. Climate change has been halted, and cities are full of parks and clean air. Education is free for all, with virtual reality simulations that make learning interactive. People are working fewer hours thanks to artificial intelligence, and have more time for family and creating. The future is not just viable-it's exciting.

The Future of Our Dreams
In 2040, I envision a world where clean energy powers everything and cities run on 100% renewable energy, eliminating pollution. Electric vehicles are dominant in the roads, and efficient public transit reduces traffic congestion. Technology has advanced to make sustainable living effortless. Agriculture thrives, ensuring no one goes hungry while protecting natural ecosystems. Education is free and universally accessible, with tutors personalizing learning for every student. Healthcare is predictive, preventing diseases before they start, and robotic assistants provide care worldwide. Humanity has also become an interplanetary species, with sustainable colonies on the Moon and Mars. Space exploration fuels innovation, bringing new materials and medical breakthroughs. Most importantly, people live in harmony, valuing equity, diversity, and well-being over profit.
