Grandma's house stood high on a hillside overlooking an endless mosaic of forests and lakes. Every summer Kaisa travelled there to spend a few months in nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and school troubles. This year, however, everything seemed different – grandmother had become quieter, and there was some unexplained feeling in the house, as if someone was watching her.

One night Kaisa woke up with a strange whisper. At first, he thought it was just the wind playing in the cracks of an old wooden house, but the voice sounded too clear. He got up from the bed and peeked out the window. Outside, right under the old apple tree, stood a dark statue. My heart began to beat faster. Kaisa closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them again, the statue was gone.

The next morning, she decided to ask her grandmother if she knew anything about the sounds of the night. Grandma sighed and said: “Some stories come to us in our dreams, some actually decide to come back...”

Since we are in 2040 . I want our future to be twice as good. To introduce some new ways to maintain the cleanliness of the environment and air. And that all wars be stopped and that we all live normal lives in peace and harmony. Most likely, it would improve jobs and increase pay and create more shelters for the homeless. She would most like to change the way she treats each other. To introduce better systems in schools and for children to have a carefree childhood. And as far as environmental pollution is concerned, electric cars should be introduced to reduce pollution. And more use bikes and public transport that would be among the cheaper or even free. I think that's all she'd change.

It's been 2040 and I still remember 2025. A year of turmoil over the war in Ukraine, price rises, anger. Anger in most people's hearts. I wouldn't have thought that 2040 would be a completely different year. We will have freedom for love, freedom for culture and stronger education for children at school on everyday issues. We have become happier, more understanding and less public anger. Our world became more beautiful, and so little was needed, just love.

Mental health issues are becoming more and more topical. In the future, already since kindergarten children, we have raised awareness of how to live a more fulfilling life by shaping our habits-sleep, nutrition, movement are balanced and ensure vitality and longevity, and there are skills on how to help yourself on mental health issues and notice the concerns of others.

Science takes over
It's 2040, and I'm walking through the streets of Kortrijk. The air is cleaner than I could have ever imagined when I was a child. Above me float transparent solar panels that are integrated into the architecture, almost invisible but responsible for generating 80% of the electricity in the city. The scientific revolution has also transformed our health. CRISPR-Cas13 technology has led to gene therapies that can treat previously incurable diseases. The average life expectancy has risen to 95 years, while maintaining quality of life.
