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?

I think life in rural areas will be valued more. Agriculture in Sweden is becoming increasingly important. It is also important to grow your own crops. We can't live on imported food, we have to grow it ourselves. It's so nice that I have my own cows, I'm a hunter and I can get food for my own family.

In the future i would like there to be a lot of new opportunities that we don’t have in today’s life, I would love there to be more affordable housing and jobs that just about anyone can obtain. Because nowadays their are so many homeless people or just normal people who can’t afford the cost of living, which is incredibly sad. I just hope that thanks to God we can have all that we wish for in life if we actually put the effort in. I wish to be rich, not to be rich with just money, to be rich with love the love of God and the love of those that I love, also the money so I can give to people but also have nice things for my self the inflation right now is too much i hope the world will come to it’s senses, I really hope so. Bye

Un futuro migliore nel 2040: una società più sostenibile ed equa
In 2040, Europe completed its transition to a more sustainable and fair society. One of the most significant changes concerns energy: Fossil fuels are now a thing of the past, replaced by renewable sources such as solar, wind and green hydrogen. Each building is equipped with smart solar panels and the energy networks are managed with advanced artificial intelligence systems to ensure efficiency and zero waste. Mobility is completely transformed: Cities are pedestrian and green, with electric and autonomous public transport reducing traffic and pollution. Work has also changed. Thanks to automation and digitalisation, the working week has been reduced to four days, allowing people to devote more time to their passions, family and lifelong learning. Education is free and accessible to all, with personalised programmes that help each individual develop their talent. Health, enhanced by advanced technologies, prevents diseases even before they occur, ensuring a quality of life never seen before. Finally, the policy is more participatory: important decisions are taken with the direct contribution of citizens through secure and transparent digital platforms. Cooperation between countries has made Europe a model of inclusion, social justice and innovation. This is the future I imagine for 2040: A world where progress and sustainability go hand in hand, creating a fairer, happier and more environmentally friendly society.

I envision 2040 as a time when mental health is finally taken as seriously as physical health. In this better future, there are no more taboos or stigmas around mental illness. Everyone has access to professional help, whether they are rich or poor. Schools and workplaces attach great importance to mental health. In schools, there are regular courses on stress management, dealing with emotions and promoting well-being. Teachers and employers are trained to take care of the mental health of their students or employees. No one should be ashamed when they need help. Technology plays a major role in this future: There are smart apps that detect signs of stress or depression at an early stage and offer targeted support. At the same time, however, human contact remains important – therapy is accessible to everyone and there are many community projects that bring people together. I want a world where everyone understands that mental health is the basis for a happy and fulfilling life.
