I see the future of Europe as a place where fairness, sustainability, and social responsibility are at the heart of society. I hope that single parents receive more support from the state, whether through financial aid, better childcare options, or more flexible work opportunities. Raising a child alone should not mean struggling endlessly, and society should do more to ensure that single parents and their children have the same opportunities as any other family.

Parental leave should also be equally accessible to both parents, allowing them to take time off work without financial stress. In the future, I hope it becomes the norm for both parents to share in the early months of childcare, creating stronger family bonds and a more equal division of responsibilities at home.

At the same time, I believe the influence of social media needs to change. Right now, too many people make money from it in ways that encourage unhealthy lifestyles, unrealistic expectations, and misinformation. I hope that in the future, social media will focus more on meaningful interactions, education, and creativity rather than being a platform for quick money and exploitation.

Another crucial issue is the housing crisis, which is making it harder for people to find a stable home. I hope Europe works toward solutions that make housing more affordable, whether through better policies, sustainable urban planning, or new housing initiatives. Everyone deserves a safe and secure place to live, and this should be a priority for the future.

Most importantly, I hope that my generation and the next will take better care of our planet, protecting nature, animals, and sea creatures from harm. Climate change, pollution, and overfishing are major threats, and we need to take stronger action to reverse the damage. Europe should lead the way in sustainability, ensuring that future generations inherit a world that is healthier, cleaner, and more balanced.

A fairer, more responsible, and more sustainable Europe is the future I hope for.

Thanks for reading. Every little helps. Make this world, a better place.

le futur vert

In 2040, greenery is everywhere. Nature has returned to our cities, thanks to our ecological policies. The far right will no longer be present, and everyone will care about the climate. In fact, we've come a long way in that respect, because everyone is now careful about what they consume and what they do. We consume in short circuits and organically. People care about others, and not as they used to with the extreme individualism that almost tore us all apart. Minorities also have more rights, and everyone is accepted! Women are no longer invisible in our previously patriarchal society. Citizens and scientists have been able to make their voices heard, and politicians have had no choice but to follow their advice in their projects.

I envision a free society that respects all people, where discrimination no longer exists, where LGBTQ+ people no longer feel fear, and where they are free to travel with their children, to live and create. I envision a society where there is no room for inequality, where sexist jokes are taken as seriously as any other attack, where women truly have equal opportunities. Where politicians and public figures show respect for people, and where educational institutions no longer contain topics that are uncomfortable to talk about. Across Europe, wherever they live, whatever their gender, race, religion, health, gender identity or sexual orientation, whatever their background, they feel safe, dignified and respected. Imagine how that respect for each other allows people to create, work, dream and achieve their dreams freely - with economic prosperity, a willingness to share and help each other, people's trust in government, and security - because every citizen believes and wants to defend, even if it means by force of arms, his or her country.

En värld av solidaritet och omtanke.

A future characterized by solidarity and caring, where the capitalist consumer society has been partially replaced by a society where caring for each other is a priority. A utopia to change society before 2040 but hopefully we can take some steps in the right direction. A society where both rich and poor have access to good healthcare and education. Taking care of each other and this planet gets more focus than fighting over land.

Wereldtentoonstelling 2040

Feb 24, 2040, the World Expo will kick off in Brussels, the heart of Europe. The past 15 years have seen an economic upheaval thanks in part to good, innovative and sustainable EU policies. The EU now has the largest economy in the world, no longer the U.S. Policies in the later 1920s in the U.S. caused a lot of big companies to go belly up. European companies empowered by EU policies grew as a result and became market leaders in many sectors. With that, this World's Fair as has never been seen before! Among others: the first portable quantum computer on the go, a nuclear fusion reactor small and powerful enough to power a city, autonomous air cabs running on hydrogen, plastic-eating bacteria and much more!
