You can promise me a future.

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

Dear educators, I have been thinking.
I don't think we should be trained into money making and obeying people

Instead
I think I should make homes for the insects I see hiding in the bushes
I think I should make a warm bath for my guardian
I think I should not be as afraid of dancing with the one I love
I think I should dare to pick a berry from a bush and eat it.

Let me not forget about the ruthless beauty of our existence
Teach me how to love it
How to survive

Curriculum creator, let us utilize our classrooms in the most healthy way possible
to let us slowly breath in and breathe out into a new, sustainable, generation
where both mine and Sarah’s, and Noa’s, and Mischa and Mohammed’s and Aisha’s belly can be full
So that we can play
And progress.
Exist

Curriculum creator, let us merge all documented knowledge to meet our basic needs in the most effective way possible
let me tell you what I need
and then maybe we could create a space within which we can survive
and thrive.

Let me care
And then perhaps
You can promise me a future.

this is a poem i have made about a potential future

The gift of medicine
The year is 2040, and medicine worldwide is highly advanced. Humans no longer fear certain diseases, as vaccines have been developed for them. Cancer is already highly treatable and is no longer a death sentence as it was in the near past. There are even talks for further development of a special anti-cancer vaccine which should be produced in the following years. The life expectancy of human beings is estimated to be more than a hundred years with a prediction to reach even more in the following decades. Mental illnesses that were not completely treatable like schizophrenia will be due to our advanced understanding of the human brain. Nanotechnologies, such as robotics will further help in treating serious illnesses and during operations.

Moderno , livre, limpo. E responsável
A modern and humane world. It would be a world that invites people to expand their knowledge and experience. Where self-confidence and a desire to evolve are built up day by day, where one "is" more than one "has". Where the individual seeks to reconcile participation in the community with meaningful reflection. The next future will be one in which we will be masters of matter, but we will also be masters of spirit. There will be abundance, because we will be able to spend less on what doesn't matter. There will be no "entertainment", but art, no war but competition for excellence There will be no forced solitude, no prison, but re-education. There will be no violence, no dirt, no exploitation, because there will be no central government. Only communities where mechanical jobs are done by robots.

Το σχολείο του μέλλοντος
Education will be more child-centred and will be delivered using modern and asynchronous teaching tools. It will assess all aspects of human potential and not just specific functions of intelligence as at present. It will equip the future adult with all the necessary skills to be able to cope with all the challenges of modern life and everyday life.
