Together with the Flemish intern Eline Andries VVOB Ecuador asked a few students to tell about their dreams for the future. The result is six video messages that take us to the public school "Escuela del Milenio Bicentenario" in the city of Quito. The 14-year-old students Candy, Carlos, Gaby, Joffre, Odalys, Kevin and Paula decorate the contours of themselves with what they hope to achieve. It seems that the dreams of teenagers around the world are not that fundamentally different.

Candy

"I'm frightened that people won't remember me. That's why I want to become a president. I want to change things. So I want to be president, to help people."

  

Odalys

"The main dream I have is to be a professional ballet dancer. I want to go to Europe to study there, to become the best ballet dancer."

Paula

"One of my dreams is to become a writer. I really love reading books and poetry, everything that’s linked to literature. My favorite authors are Maria Fernanda Heredia, an Ecuadorian writer, and Paulo Coelho."

  

Carlos and Joffre

"Our dream is to play in a rock band. We want to be famous, so that our music will help people. We believe music is the key to vision and understanding."

Gaby

"I want to be a famous fashion designer, but not an ordinary one. I want to make clothes with things that people don’t use anymore, to take care of the environment."

  

Kevin

"The most important dream I have is to make music, to create a band with my friends. The second thing I want to achieve in the future is to go to the Academy of Music to become a professional musician."
