You can promise me a future.

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

Today is December 31, 2040, I will move on to another year, but the one they went through was super good, the world on the street is happy, we all have stable jobs, those who take care of our health do everything to keep us healthy. Our children had the opportunity to complete higher education and are now employed by world-renowned companies. The future is beautiful, we will always be a united Eurpopa!

Health care is of high quality in the public sector and you don't have to wait long for surgeries and examinations. Mondern, well-equipped and clean environment. The education system is also at a high level. Well-equipped schools and many qualified professionals. More attention to nature, lots of green areas in cities.

I would like the "world of the future" to be more about connection between beings (animals, people, nature). I'd like people to be able to live more in community and with each other, to look at others with compassion and for economic interests not to take precedence over the basic needs of humanity, of people... From the point of view of education, I would particularly like to see Portugal work on the concept of autonomy, entrepreneurship and creativity in education, providing the children of today (the adults of the future) with the necessary skills for change!

I imagine that in 2040 there will be no more cars polluting the air, we will use renewable energy and the earth will be greener and healthier. We will be freer and happier. We will give up meat from animals raised in inhumane conditions and focus on quality not quantity. At least that's my hope.
