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

Cleansing flame

We’ll need to address changes coming due to climate change while making sure economy and by extension our societies also adapt in a sustainable way. We need to allow nature to heal and regrow as much as possible for the ecological chains to sustain themselves and humanity. It is going to be a difficult task as lit of these changes comes with a price and uncertainty, but education and long term thinking and decision making from those in power could make this happen. I’m not sure however that this can be done without sacrifices. I tend to think that humanity will only try to change its ways when it has no other choice as a whole, only after a lot of suffering and death. A cleansing flame of sorts. I wish this wasn’t true. But I fear it is.

Budućnost bez problema

In the future, I would like to see fewer hungry and poor people. I would like health care to be available to all equally, so that there is no excruciating pain. I would like us to be able to travel to whichever part of the globe we would like. So that people have a job that pays enough to live a normal life. I would like us to respect, support and vote more.

In 2040, they want to see a future where sustainable energy sources completely replace fossil fuels. Humanity has made significant progress in the fight against climate change, and the world's energy production is almost entirely based on renewable sources - solar, wind and hydro. Thanks to advances in energy storage technologies, electricity grids are stable and efficient. Cities are greener and more liveable: buildings are self-sustaining and transport is based on electric and autonomous vehicles. People are producing less waste because the circular economy principle is embedded in all industries. Within this future, education and technology are intertwined, allowing everyone to access the best knowledge materials. People are taking better care of each other and the planet because they recognise that sustainability is not just a choice, but a necessity.

Boldogság

I imagine a better future where everyone is accepted and feels safe. Financially everything will be fine, there will be more pay. Prices will go down. The environment will be taken care of and we will develop ways to keep the world cleaner. I think the livelihood financially should be basic and that in the future we will make it. The education system will change, because the situation of the students is not the best because they are overwhelmed with all kinds of things. Increasingly, everyone wants to leave their country at the moment and I hope this will not be the case in the future.
