As 2019 draws to a close, we want to find out your hopes, dreams and desires for the next decade.

The 2010s have provided the world with an array of defining challenges: from the rise in political populism; to the fight against the climate emergency. There have been huge people movements from The Arab Spring to Black Lives Matter, MeToo and the Global climate strikes.

It was a defining decade for LGBTQ people from the very start with Argentina legalising same-sex marriage and communities grappling with how gender should be constructed.

The advancement of tech companies such as Facebook, Google and Amazon have dramatically altered how people connect with media and each other.

In the UK, love it or hate it, Brexit, became one of the most defining moments of British political history.

In such complex and turbulent times it is almost impossible to know what the future holds for us all. Nonetheless, we want to know what you hope the future will bring – also what you expect to see more of and any solutions you think may work.
