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?

A good future (Hyvä tulevaisuus)
2040, hopefully, the world’s material focus will play a lesser role. A more sustainable, environmentally friendly way of living from a consumption society would have been achieved. As mobility modes, walking and cycling would be the main role in cities. Internal combustion engine cars would have disappeared and public transport would be smooth, as an energy mode I do not imagine anything other than electricity. Solar cell and hydrogen cars could be an excellent opportunity), but 2040 might be too soon. We hope that local food and tourism have gained ground. For food production, dairy products are made in laboratories/plant-based methods without cows.

Desired Helsinki 2050 B (Toiveideni Helsinki 2050 B)
My wishes in Helsinki are calm and pleasant. The city has a lot of fine and wealthy buildings and a wide range of ecological options to move from one place to another (electric cars, free bicycles, electric buses metros, riots). Free facilities have been built for students and employees and are open 24 hours a day. They have good and peaceful learning opportunities. In addition, the facilities have the possibility to use a fitness centre and visit coffee. There are many pleasant green spaces in Helsinki, where you can walking to open the dog and to ski in winter. My aspirations in Helsinki have a lot of high-quality, fine and affordable housing. My aspirations in Helsinki take good account of the needs of all inhabitants and make the best and varied services possible for all. A lot of diverse and interesting jobs are available for all in my hopes in Helsinki. Helsinki would encourage everyone to seek and implement their own dreams. There would also be a wide range of activities free of charge in Helsinki.Moreover, there would be a wide range of events in Helsinki.It is my hope that there is a good climate in Helsinki, including through solar energy. Helsinki has a large number of high-quality, low-priced dwellings.

Consciousness and actions
There are a lot of ideas and projects for a better future. We need actions and concrete solutions. It will be difficult and non-spontaneous, but it's necessary in order to live in a safer and improved world. At the moment, what people think it's necessary is to have the latest technological device or the best idea to solve problems, but there's still nobody that actually uses those ideas and those devices to improve our world. At the moment, the main focus is money, not safety nor peace.

Happiness and serenity (Felicità e serenità)
I would like people to be more concerned about their happiness than their position, occupation, remuneration and generally having to show something to someone and meet the expectations of others.
