Não basta estar vivo, é preciso sentir | Aline Midlej | TEDxSaoPaulo
TEDx Talks· 2026-01-23 16:32
O jornalismo me mostrou que é possível morrer em vida se eu parar de sentir. E se eu parar de sentir, qual é o sentido dessa profissão que ajuda a transformar o mundo e a sociedade em algo melhor, em algo possível, em algo mais justo. Era pandemia de Covid, 2021.Eu passava em média, em média, 4 horas ao vivo por dia, noticiando incertezas. Me tornei uma especialista em noticiar incertezas. Isso é muito difícil, acreditem.Eu virei um especialista em noticiar dores que para mim até hoje são inomináveis. Mas f ...

Identity After the Storm: Past, Present and Rising | Unaisi Narawa | TEDxUniversity of Waikato
TEDx Talks· 2026-01-23 16:05
Who are you. It sounds like such a simple question, doesn't it. So, let me ask it again.Who are you. And when you think about who you are, where does your mind go first. Do you think about your name, your job, where your parents come from.Or maybe your mind goes somewhere deeper to a memory perhaps, endless summers at the beach, the street you grew up on, the taste of your grandmother's cooking. Maybe it's the smell of the earth after rain. We don't often think about these things as being part of our identi ...

TEDx Talks· 2026-01-23 16:05
So people are saying there's a problem with the humanities. Beloved subjects like classics, English, philosophy, history, they're all in crisis. My name's Nick Aar and I'm a professor of philosophy.So, I get to see this crisis close up. Um, it's it's a challenge and it's something that you can't overlook. I get to see the empty lecture theaters. I get to see the slightly depressed colleagues. I get to see the expressions on the faces of the unsupported politicians.Somehow the story got around that humanitie ...

Indigenous wisdom for mental wellbeing | Sione Vaka | TEDxUniversity of Waikato
TEDx Talks· 2026-01-23 16:04
In 2022 on the 15th of January, a volcano erupted in the kingdom of Toma. So powerful it echoed AC across the globe. It triggered tsunami waves impacting countries like Tonga, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, and the United States of America. The most profound waves were not in the ocean. They were in the hearts of the people. I was part of a mental health team that traveled to Tonga. What we encountered was not just physical devastation, but emotional trauma. Children ran and hit, terrified that the er ...
The Dance of Differences: Finding Harmony between China and Brazil | Li Xingxing | TEDxUFSM
TEDx Talks· 2026-01-23 16:02
Good afternoon. Let me ask you, what would make a perfectly sensible Chinese teacher live her comfortable life to travel 50 hours across the planet to a small Brazilian city, a barely no food on many Chinese search engines. The truth is the seed for this journey was planted many years ago with a single word shouted across my university campus in China. Wait, back then I was just a student named or Jessica, fascinated by the world outside and desperate to practice English. One day I saw the British teacher f ...
O mundo já acabou 5 vezes (e você não sabia) | Flavio Pretto | TEDxUFSM
TEDx Talks· 2026-01-23 16:02
O mundo vai acabar. A primeira vez que eu ouvi isso, que o mundo ia acabar, disseram que um tal de Nostradamos, lá em 1999, disseram que o Nostradamos previu que em 1999, num momento exato, o mundo ia terminar. Eu lembro até hoje porque eu tava no colégio, eu era criança ainda e eu tava na aula e a professora parou a aula e foi a primeira vez que ela conseguiu fazer a turma inteira ficar quieta, porque a gente parou, ficou olhando o relógio e acompanhando segundo a segundo até que chegasse a fatídica hora.E ...
The secret to being heard | Stef Reid MBE | TEDxSwansea Women
TEDx Talks· 2026-01-23 16:02
[music] [music] I had a big decision to make. I had been invited to be part of this amazing photo shoot for a huge publication and it was for strong, powerful, successful female athletes. But there was a catch. The shoot was nude. Now, of course, when the photos were published, important bits would be covered, but the shoot itself was going to be nude. Now, I personally didn't have a problem with it. I think the human body is beautiful and wonderful and I think the world could do with a few more images of d ...
How sexy confidence redefines leadership | Sandra Gonzalez | TEDxSwansea Women
TEDx Talks· 2026-01-23 16:00
[music] [music] Let me ask you this. When you hear the word sexy, what comes to mind? For most, it's a body type, an image, a standard that society has sold us. But I want you to consider something different. What if sexy has nothing to do with appearance? What if sexy is confidence? The kind of confidence that commands respect because it's rooted in integrity. the kind of confidence that doesn't just elevate you but lifts everybody around you because it's grounded in true self asssurance. And here's the tr ...
