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

Il mondo futuro
I envision a future where public transportation is ubiquitous, frequent, and has no impact on pollution, where renewable energy is preponderant, where the health service functions effectively and quickly, where public administration is simplified and at the service of the citizen, where schools have more resources to properly train students, where prevention and road control really works, and where justice is swift and fair

I would like to see a peaceful and harmonious future, but I doubt it will happen. Now that the climate is changing, there will probably be water shortages. I think there will be migration from southern Europe to northern Europe. I think that tourism will be developed here. There will also be a need for food, so agriculture will be important.

Hopelijk een klein stukje van mijn toekomst
In 2040 the housing crisis is solved and me and my boyfriend have a nice house in the Gooi. Because people's mental well-being + (technological developments) are now paramount instead of "work life" I now work 3/4 days a week from 10:00 to 15:00. The rest of the time I have left for household chores and free time. I also eat and exercise more and healthier because it is more affordable and I have more time for this. Oh yes and the cabinet has gone normie and at least cancelled (the interest of) student debts and brought them back to 0%.

Stadt der Zukunft
Walls are equipped with interactive screens that show soft colors and calming images at home Dramatic climate change has happened. good renewable energy cities have turned into green oases with lots of gardens and solar panels Everyone fought for a sustainable future Education has evolved and children were taught in interactive classrooms equipped with virtual reality. This allowed them to experience the effects of climate change first-hand and develop solutions.
