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?

Today is December 31, 2040, I will move on to another year, but the one they went through was super good, the world on the street is happy, we all have stable jobs, those who take care of our health do everything to keep us healthy. Our children had the opportunity to complete higher education and are now employed by world-renowned companies. The future is beautiful, we will always be a united Eurpopa!

Health care is of high quality in the public sector and you don't have to wait long for surgeries and examinations. Mondern, well-equipped and clean environment. The education system is also at a high level. Well-equipped schools and many qualified professionals. More attention to nature, lots of green areas in cities.

I would like the "world of the future" to be more about connection between beings (animals, people, nature). I'd like people to be able to live more in community and with each other, to look at others with compassion and for economic interests not to take precedence over the basic needs of humanity, of people... From the point of view of education, I would particularly like to see Portugal work on the concept of autonomy, entrepreneurship and creativity in education, providing the children of today (the adults of the future) with the necessary skills for change!

I imagine that in 2040 there will be no more cars polluting the air, we will use renewable energy and the earth will be greener and healthier. We will be freer and happier. We will give up meat from animals raised in inhumane conditions and focus on quality not quantity. At least that's my hope.
