The same rights for everyone.

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.

I'm worried about people in 2040. We still don't understand that we always Disputes about how we can change the natural climate It would be so easy if everyone produced fewer pollutants. But unfortunately we can't agree and that's why the climate suffers. Nature's animals and people are reasonable saves the climate in which you can find a common solution only so that we can all find the natural climate Save otherwise, it's all too late.

It is 23 June 2040. Summer is in full swing: lush green all around, countless birds are singing, the meadows are full of flowers again, just like in my childhood, and bees and other insects are buzzing around. In towns and in the countryside, people near and far have come together to celebrate Midsummer by lighting bonfires, playing games, singing Ligo songs and dancing dances on Midsummer's Eve. This tradition, passed down from generation to generation, is still alive, and it is a pleasure to see that gradually people of other ethnicities who have made their homes with us have also joined in the celebrations, and on this day, more than others, understand why we are the way we are, and what we hold dear. Midsummer night is crisp and dew covers the ground, as the very dry and dry days of summer are yet to come and it seems incredible that in just a few months the ground will again be covered with a thick layer of white snow. People seem to be less happy now. Times are changing and everyone is freer to be who they want to be, to do what their heart is in and to raise a family without worrying about the turmoil around them, how to pay the bills, buy food, buy a home, or what it will be like to grow old. We are one big family again and no neighbour is a stranger. We look after everyone in our neighbourhood and know that if we need them, they will look after us. We realise that everything in the world is connected, we are wiser, with more zeal and idealism. We believe in ourselves and trust in each other.

I envision a better future for myself by having my own company and earning as much money as I can to live a normal life then, and enjoying my life while still healthy and having time to pursue my interests and devote to my family. I think that in 2040 it will be very different, I think that all cars will be electric, industiry will continue to develop, healthcare will be automated, and we will have robots cooking for us. What I want most of all are cars that we do not have to drive, we just choose where we want to go and the car takes us there.

I wish for a world in which the people of the globe talk to each other and act together for a sustainable and liveable future and not knock each other's heads like 1000 years ago. I want to live in a world that wants to find and seek solutions together and not in one of despots and fools and egomaniacs, as is currently the case.
