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

building materials must be produced from waste so that module houses are built cheaply and for everyone so that the poor and homeless have a safe place to live. health treatments will be used online so that you do not have to meet physically. in stores are goods in recycled packaging and everyone scans and pays for goods themselves via mobile. all food that cannot be eaten must be reused for other things and date items must be distributed to the poor. there must be many more wind turbines and solar cells on all houses. more people must work but at reduced hours and people with diseases must be allowed to flex jobs.

Le retour aux sources
The air is no longer polluted , there are fewer vehicles less asphalt area . The climate has recovered and global warming has stopped. The countryside is larger , the trees again have room to grow and the vegetation is again more extensive. The sea is also less polluted and there are again more fish to be able to fish again while respecting biodiversity . The streams and rivers have also regained their , rights there are more and their water is beautiful and clear. There are no more species in the process of extinction. Man understood that he had abused all the resources of the planet and not only backtracked, but he also made every effort to make up for his mistakes and help the planet to clean up. With global warming receding, natural disasters have almost disappeared and every corner of the globe has regained its original climate and its fauna and flora.

People attach great importance to work-life balance. The working week has become shorter - 4 working days - to allow more time for leisure and family. Remote and hybrid working patterns are the norm. Human well-being is important at national level. Emotional well-being is given importance.

The transformation of Europe into a truly borderless Europe has become possible because the events of climate change are making people, businessmen and politicians realise that no region bounded by imaginary borders can cope with change without a concerted effort. Human dignity has been restored over economic/political values and the good winds are blowing beyond Europe to other parts of the globe.
