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?

After waking up in the morning, I would like to see a city without pollution, the city would be modern. It's green and beautiful everywhere. Quiet self-driving electric vehicles are driving on the streets. People ride bicycles, walk along pedestrian paths that are covered with solar panels. I want air pollution to be a thing of the past. People don't breathe pollutants, they breathe clean air. I think many would like technology to help create a sustainable economy, no one would starve, everyone would be full and happy. The most important thing for the future of Europe is the people. Europe would become an example of openness and cooperation. Digital democracy allows everyone to participate directly in decision-making. Wars and conflicts will remain in history. all countries work together to create and cooperate. This would be the Europe of my dreams, without wars, without quarrels, without pollution, and so on.

Moins matériel, plus solidaire
A better world would be, by 2040, either we have overcome war, the most serious diseases, or we have integrated tolerance, benevolence, where people can live in a healthy ecological climate. In this future solidarity will be enshrined in the world constitution. Famine will be eradicated . we will work less and we will live more, we will bury consumerism.

n 2040, the world will feel lighter. People will no longer live in a world of rush and constant accomplishment, but will have a work-life balance. Working weeks have been reduced to four days a week, and teleworking has made it possible to live in more peaceful environments - many people have moved back to smaller towns or rural areas. Health and well-being are a priority. Preventive healthcare has developed and technology has enabled people to get the care they need quickly and individually. Mental health is as important as physical health, and society supports people at all stages of life. Nature is back in people's daily lives. Cities are full of green roofs, community gardens and parks. Action on climate change is working: air quality has improved, animal species have recovered and the environment is healthier than it has been for a long time. People are now living more in the moment, appreciating the little things - time with loved ones, getting out in nature and being part of a community. This is the world I wanted to see, and now it's real

We have managed to generate all of our energy from renewable sources. The majority of buildings and vehicles are powered by renewable energy. The social insurance system has been reformed. All citizens pay into a citizens' insurance scheme. After a brief phase of nationalism and populism, the countries of Europe have come together again and are now pursuing a common path in world politics. Common defense and a common European energy network for electricity and hydrogen. The transportation of goods takes place mainly on well-developed rail networks
