Switzerland's democracy risks losing touch with the future. You may ask yourself, what. Switzerland, one of the oldest and most wellestablished democracies in the world.Yes. If we don't keep taking care of it, if we don't keep recognizing how important it is for young people to participate and to be heard. So why do I care about youth participation.When I was 12 years old, I met a member of the youth parliament of Zurich who encouraged me to join. At my very first session, I was part of the working group on ...

When I was about 9 years old, I had my first experience running code, not on a computer, but in my grandparents' kitchen. I was standing next to my uncle who was reading out DOSs commands. Symbol after symbol, word after word, line after line, I took notes.We were trying to build a boot disc to run one of these popular jump and run games. For those of you who have never seen a boot disc, imagine the great great great grandfather of a USB stick that would tell your computer how to start. Well, needless to sa ...

[music] [applause] You know, every transformation starts with a no. No, we can't change. No, it's too risky.My job has always been to turn that no. To turn that into a yes, to see beneath the fear, the doubt so that we can all move forward. My name is Tunda Lukatch and in the past almost 20 years, my job has been turning a no way into a new way.In my corporate jobs, that means driving change and innovation, helping teams to move from fear to possibility, hopefully with an AI first mindset. And as an executi ...

Thank you and welcome everyone. Now for the next five minutes I would like to talk to you about something that is happening on the quieter sidelines away from all the noise of politics that we are permanently hearing. The constant hum of Trump, inflation, taxes and so on.Because while it may be a quiet development, I believe that is one of the most important changes for us across the United Kingdom and that is the extension of the vote to 16 and 17 year olds that is about to become law. Now this is a profou ...

Pense no mundo onde todas as pessoas andam armadas. Toda vez que você dá um passo e sai da sua casa, tem alguém armado olhando para você. Você dobra a esquina e tem várias armas apontadas para você. Você segue adiante e tem mais armas.Você é a própria mira. Algumas armas podem não querer te atingir, podem não estar mirando você, mas uma falta de atenção e de novo você pode ser atingido. Se você não se viu nesse cenário, talvez você seja a pessoa segurando essa arma.Sim, eu tô chamando aqui os veículos motor ...

Que noite especial para vocês que abriram o espaço nas suas agendas e também para mim uma ex-aluna de gradu doação da Odesc. Subir nesse palco eh me faz lembrar o que é enfrentar um desafio. Eu gosto de desafios grandes, de metas que parecem impossíveis e exigem corpo, mente e alma.Por isso eu escolhi o Iron Man, que é mais do que uma prova. Ele é um símbolo mundial de resistência e superação humana. O Iron Man, ele nasceu em 1978 no Havaí, quando alguns atletas de lá se perguntavam quem entre eles seria o ...

Can I kindly ask all the men in the room to close their eyes for the next 10 seconds? And as you do so, kindly look back to the last time you felt the most like a man. Think even deeper. When was the last time you felt the most masculine? Now open. For most of us, the last time we felt the most like a man was perhaps when we sorted the house rent without any contribution from the female gender. Aha, I see someone there. For some others, it's the last time you gave mommy money and tried to prove that you are ...
