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.

By 2040, I would like the way we deal with food and public space to have fundamentally changed. An ideal image I have in mind, based on the projects I am working on, such as Fruitstraat Gent, is that cities have been completely transformed into green, edible landscapes. In this future, cities are not only functional living spaces, but also productive ecosystems where fruit trees, vegetables and herbs grow lushly in streets, squares and parks. Everyone has access to healthy and local food thanks to the myriad of commons such as communal gardens and fruit trees, where residents have free access to pick. The idea of a short and sustainable food chain is fully embedded in urban life: people harvest their own food or buy it directly from neighborhood cooperatives, without the intervention of polluting, long distribution chains. In addition, there is a broad awareness of the importance of community and participation. Speculative design projects are no longer just a niche, but have been given a central role in shaping urban development. Residents are actively involved in designing the future of their city, with participation and engagement at the heart of policy decisions. Each district has its own projects and experiments that constantly contribute to the improvement of the living environment, both socially, economically and ecologically. This vision of the future would result in a healthier, cohesive and more resilient society in which people not only have a connection with each other, but also with nature and the food they consume.

My dream of future
Maybe personally I will be very happy to enjoy the high-tech convenience just like I can order the food by done delivery .That’s insane and also many diseases can be handled simultaneously.Tje climate might be not habitable for us,due to our over development.

An idealistic European future
Europe will have learnt from its past mistakes in terms of security and defence and economy. It will no longer be seen as a side partner with no real power when it comes to wars at its borders. It will be equipped and able to deter foreign threats, both military and online. While having strong foreign partnerships, it will no longer rely on third countries to provide it with rare materials, energy or manufacture critical products. It will have understood that companies are critical to its social welfare and adapted its regulations to European companies' needs. Energy and life costs will no longer be an issue for Europeans as there will have been investments in new nuclear technologies, incentives given to companies to produce in Europe in a simplified regulatory framework, taxation, social and labour costs will be harmonised and education will be again a strong pillar of the society.
