You can promise me a future.

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

A new hope for the next generation

Anonymous

It's 7th October 2040. Today is the first day of work of my son T. Only one year passed after his master degree and he is now employed in a company requiring him creativity and technological knowledge. The war, the energy shortages, the populistic policies of 20 years ago are over and we started now a new era of progress and hope. Obviously, a lot of pain and investments were necessary, but now those days are over and we are hoping again for a peaceful future (p.s. you said "What would you like that future to be? " - This is not realistic)

A bio-economic EU

Anonymous

I would like to see a future where people have access to and purchase food that is largely plant-based, varied and provide elements for a healthy diet. School education includes learning about how food is produced and how to produce it with minimum environmental damage. Agro-ecology is mainstream in agriculture. The EU is largely independent from fossil fuels and uses less and renewable energy.

Peace, respect and well-being

In 2040, I would like that the future life will be peaceful and without economic, political or idealogical tensions. People will be caring about nature, will be respectful and caring about the well-being of the society as a whole. Competition in school or work performance won't be promoted but there will be rather an environment that gives the possibility for learning, discovering, stimulating curiosity.
