First of all, the most important thing in all life is health. We are currently under the influence of a virus, covid-19, that has dragged Europe and our country into disaster. This effect has diminished considerably, but there are still traces of it. In 2040, I see that this virus has become an ordinary disease and its lethal effects come to an end. I dream that in 2040 my country Turkey is a part of the European Union and all of Europe sees us Turks as a part of Europe. I imagine Istanbul and Ankara, which blend eastern and western cultures, as the cultural capitals of Europe. I see that the Black Sea has been cleared and all coastal countries including Turkey and Europe have become conscious. The war in Ukraine ended peacefully, and after the war, Ukraine began to develop. Just like in Warsaw, Ukraine has nostalgically rebuilt the destroyed places and UNESCO added Donbass to the world heritage list. Europe did not stay connected to its ancient friend America, and established different trade networks with the east and realized these through Turkey. Berlin-Ankara railway was opened and transportation from Turkey to Europe became easier. Tensions between Greece and Turkey gave way to a close friendship, and Greek in Istanbul and Turkish in Athens became the second most spoken language. Armenia-Turkey land border was reopened after 1993 and armenians, old friends of turks, returned to Turkey, where they could practice their religion and language comfortably. Turkey took the example of Europe in terms of architecture and politics and Scottish baron architecture was used, starting from Istanbul and Ankara. The European Union has invested in all European countries, especially Turkey, Greece and Bulgaria, for social awareness and creative and critical thinking education. The baltic countries developed and caught up with the Scandinavian countries economically. Especially Estonia came to the fore in the fish sector with its huge fish factories. Germany has become stronger than ever before. With an agreement between the Irish and the Turks, the Dublin-Ankara exchange program took place. Accordingly, university students like me benefited from the exchange program between Dublin and Ankara. I see a 2040 where racism ends. I see that the Turkic Council has become a very serious organization and Hungary has joined us. The importance given to the field of psychology has gradually increased and the investments made in this field have also increased. I will be 39 years old in 2040 and I would like to see me as a successful psychologist that day. I hope it will be a patient, egalitarian, critical and modern thinking production. Where I live or what I do is not important, but I want to be of use to humanity. I hope to have visited Iceland and visited the famous Hallgrímskirkja in reykjavik. I want to see global warming slowed down and all people become conscious of it. I wish for a future where Russia is not marginalized and looks European. Yes, maybe all these are dreams, maybe impossible to come true, but we must not forget that thinking about good things always leads to good things. I in 2040, Europe in 2040, the world in 2040 send you my greetings from 2022! I hope everything was for the best!

Gezondheidszorg in 2040: sneller, slimmer en mensgerichter
It is 2040, and healthcare has taken a giant leap forward. No more endless wait times, no more fragmentation of care between different agencies - everything has become more efficient, accessible and people-oriented. In this ideal future, hospitals, general practitioners and specialty care providers work under one roof or in seamless collaborative networks. Smart technology and data exchange allow patients to get to the right specialist immediately, without unnecessary referrals or long waiting times. AI-based triage systems ensure that care requests are assessed quickly and accurately, so that people immediately receive the care they need. In addition, prevention has become a key focus. People have access to personalized health programs supported by technology that helps them live healthy lives and identify conditions early. This not only eases the pressure on care, but also keeps people healthy longer. But best of all? Healthcare is still human. Despite all the technological advances, the relationship between caregiver and patient is central. Doctors and nurses have more time for personal attention thanks to more efficient processes, which ensures better care as well as a more pleasant working environment. The healthcare of 2040 will not only be faster and smarter, but above all more personalized. And that is exactly where we need to go.

Die Vernunft muss siegen!
All the countries of the world not only live together peacefully but have also joined forces to protect the earth and the climate. For example, they have jointly financed projects to reforest forests and to reforest and green barren landscapes anywhere in the world. Production is now only based on demand, not profit. Within the EU in particular, countries have once again put the welfare of their own country first. Illegal immigration, especially in Germany, has been stopped and foreign criminals have been returned to their home countries. In Germany, the AfD is the only party in power and has returned the country to its former strength. Christmas markets and public events are making a peaceful comeback. Victims of foreign criminals received compensation and the perpetrators received their just punishments.

Vision Europa 2040
In a Europe of 2040, we will be in a united community with a central government. The political parties will each have joined together to form a European party, and the parliament will be led by the Volt Party. The electrical energy required for industry, households and transportation will come from renewable sources. Electric cars will be charged inductively in a few seconds at special points.

Retour aux fondements de l'Europe
Europe has been overwhelmed by mass immigration, bombings, xenophobia and the muzzling of free speech. The new generation of Europeans woke up as they did when they were under Ottoman, Nazi or Soviet domination. Thanks to the new generation, by 2040 we had a majority of libertarian voters. In just 10 years, Europe has become dynamic again, protecting its borders from Wokist and Muslim obscurantism in particular, but welcoming anyone who wants to work towards the freedom of peoples' choices and ideas. The politicians who had distanced us from Europe's origins have been judged, but forgiven for their reconciliation. In 2050, Europe will once again be a land of peace, free enterprise, the ability to express one's ideas, and a forerunner in new technologies beyond generative AI. Indeed, all the multitudes spent on clentelism have been redirected
