Understanding human trafficking through real stories | Smita Sharma | TEDxGateway
Every time we think about trafficking, we think about numbers and [...]
Every time we think about trafficking, we think about numbers and statistics. How many girls are trafficked in a year? How many girls go missing and how many are rescued?
Smita Sharma takes us to the stories and faces behind these numbers - and shows us the 'human' side of trafficking beyond the generic news reports that are devoid of personal stories. Smita Sharma is a renowned Delhi-based
photojournalist focused on documenting social issues,
sexual crimes, and human trafficking in the Global
South. Her work has been featured in prestigious
publications, including National Geographic Magazine
and The New York Times. Smita's powerful images
have received recognition and awards, and she
recently published a photo book called "We Cry In
Silence." She is a member of photography
communities and has undergone HEFAT training. Smita
holds a degree in photojournalism from the
International Center of Photography, New York. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedxShow More

Il primo giorno di Scuola | Lorenzo Micheli | TEDxPollica
Il primo giorno di scuola è molto più di una semplice ripartenza: è un [...]
Il primo giorno di scuola è molto più di una semplice ripartenza: è un risveglio collettivo, il più grande capodanno laico del nostro paese. È il giorno, forse l’unico, in cui gli studenti immaginano la scuola come piacerebbe a loro, prima di abituarsi a una scuola creata dagli altri. Ma la scuola del primo giorno è davvero così diversa da quella del cinquantesimo? Spesso sì, ma non dovrebbe esserlo. Farle coincidere è responsabilità di tutti.
In questo TEDx Talk, Lorenzo Micheli ci invita a riflettere sulla grandezza di questo stato di premessa, dove tutto può ancora essere. Lorenzo illustra perché sia fondamentale recuperare e mantenere vivo lo spirito del primo giorno: abbinare le premesse ai risultati, le promesse alle esperienze, i desideri ai fatti.
Lorenzo Micheli è un esperto di politiche per la formazione, l’orientamento e l’internazionalizzazione, speaker professionista e conduttore di grandi eventi in ambito edutainment. In questo talk ci guida in un viaggio di 10 anni nel mondo della scuola, esplorando il potere rigenerativo di quattro azioni: chiamare, connettere, ingaggiare, abilitare. Classe 1990, fondatore di CAMPOBASE, osservatorio-laboratorio multidisciplinare che cura progetti e processi di innovazione sociale attraverso le arti della formazione. Dal 2015 collabora con il Ministero dell’Istruzione italiano, prima come policy advisor poi come coordinatore del programma ‘Futura Italia’ (PNSD), oggi come consulente per l’internazionalizzazione e curatore del tour di ‘Scuola Futura’. Durante l’Expo 2020 a Dubai, ha guidato la programmazione education di Padiglione Italia. Pioniere nell’uso di metodologie, format e modelli innovativi di apprendimento, ha condotto centinaia di eventi di formazione e di edutainment in Italia e all’estero, abilitando diverse community di studenti, docenti e formatori. Dal 2023 tiene il corso in “Co-Creation for Policy” all’Università Statale di Milano.

Gravitational waves and why you exist | Lydia Guertin | TEDxHaverford College
In June 2023, an international team of astronomers announced the [...]
In June 2023, an international team of astronomers announced the detection of significant evidence for a low-frequency gravitational wave background permeating our universe. How does that even happen, and what does it mean? More importantly, why should I give this news more than a passing glance? It doesn’t change anything about my life anyways…right? In her talk, Lydia Guertin uses the scientific creativity underlying this discovery to illustrate a much larger point: what happens in our minds translates to the futures we build. The questions we ask — and crucially, the way we ask them — become our limiting factors; the boundaries of our spheres of influence. Lydia Guertin was admitted as the youngest member of the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) in 2022, where she works with the Noise Budget Working Group to mitigate interfering signals in pulsar timing array datasets that are then used as a “detector” for gravitational waves. She graduated with High Honors from Haverford College in 2024 with dual B.Sc. degrees in Physics and Astronomy, and now works with the Academia Sinica Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics in Taiwan. Along with her personal projects, Lydia is involved with several education and public outreach programs, including as a 2024 NASA Partner Eclipse Ambassador, and is a lifetime fellow of the American Junior Academy of Science. On her own time, Lydia is a distance runner and thru-hiker, seeking out opportunities to enjoy the night sky away from the lens of a telescope.

While we live, there are extraordinary times when we gain insightful perspectives and acknowledgments. Many of those new kinds of vision and discernment come from questioning.

Finding the real self is about knowing and loving oneself more. Creating a fake self, which acts as an impermanent, fragile mental barrier based on a distrust toward oneself, can destroy the real self.
