So origyami comes from a combination of two words. Oruru means to fold in Japanese and kami is paper. So to fold paper is oruruk ka ...

[Musica] Avevo 10 anni quando ho capito che il cielo non dovrebbe mai essere nero, almeno non di giorno. Era il 21 dicembre 1985. Il Natale era alle porte, la scuola era stata sospesa per le vacanze, nelle case si impacchettavano i regali, poi all'improvviso l'onda d'urto, un boato e il cielo è diventato nero.Dovemmo scappare da casa nostra e casa nostra è Napoli ed è San Giovanni a Teduccio, un quartiere di Napoli est della periferia orientale. Il portone del palazzo si era crepato, le finestre erano rotte ...

[Musica] [Musica] Questo è il suono della notte in Ucraina che ci ha accompagnato per tutto il viaggio. È il rumore che spezza il sonno, ma che ci ha salvato anche la vita. Due anni fa sono andato in Ucraina per la prima volta a seguire il conflitto.I russi erano lì a pochi chilometri dalle porte di Kiev. Non si sapeva ancora se Kiev cadeva oppure no. Quest'anno con la collaborazione di Lorenzo e grazie anche a Sant'Egidio, siamo andati là di nuovo a raccontare delle storie, a raccontare dei progetti umanit ...

[Music] If a machine could create, does it matter if you never felt anything while doing it. There were times where I felt like a machine during my career. Did it work. It didn't.Instead, I left design for a number of years. How did I get back to creativity. By listening to the way I felt about design, not looking at a structure, not looking at a method, not looking at a way to be or learning too much from other designers before me.only by listening to what I could offer as a designer and as a creative. Cre ...

[Applause] [Music] [Music] Approximately four or five Americans are really confused about what I just said and that statistic is generous meaning that in the United States only 20% of Americans can make up some idea of what I was talking about and that statistic is just outright sad. The stereotype of learning a new language has always been oh it's too hard or it takes too long or it costs too much and all these negative perceptions it's a decrease in bilingualism in the United States. I know though learnin ...

Picture [Applause] this. I'm outside of Walmart minding my business, enjoying the hot, sunny weather and chilly breeze when all of a sudden this random stranger decides to drop all four of his grocery bags and an enormous watermelon a few feet away from him. The most logical thing to do would be to help the man and chase after his watermelon.But here's the thing. I was holding a Dairy Queen Blizzard. Really good.Peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough blizzard. And suddenly I was torn. One part of me was ...

[Applause] I'm sure you all have heard of the generic phrase, every year time just seems to fly faster and faster. And it's true. As kids, the feeling of boredom is very prominent as the days stretch on and we only as busy as kids could get. It was as if we had all the time in the world. But then we grow up and we're tossed into this busy vibrant world and suddenly time moves too fast and we often forget about a childhood that we once cherished. So why do I bring this up? Well, first off, what do you think ...

[Applause] breaking barriers. Wow. When I was asked to speak at this spectacular event, I stared at the fire on my wood burning stove for about an hour.Breaking barriers echoed through my head. I thought breaking barriers. I'm not sure that I have anything interesting to share.What barriers have I broken. I've never broken a record. I've never even broken a bone.People like Rosa Parks or Orville Wright, they break barriers. Let me introduce myself. My name is Pat Crater, director of student activities for t ...

Imagine [Applause] this. Charlotte sits with three other girls in her math class. If they score an average of an 80% on their test, they get extra free time.But then Charlotte found out that the a group of boys at the table next to her have to score an average of a 90% on that same test to get extra free time.
