Why A Child's Zip Code Shouldn’t Determine Their Future | Jillyan McKinney | TEDxFolsom
TEDx Talks· 2025-09-26 15:40
I begin by asking you to close your eyes for a moment and picture a kindergarten classroom. 25 eager 5-year-old 5-year-olds fill this room. They're running, laughing, running around as much as they possibly can and finally find their space down on the carpet where they anxiously await to learn something new.Can you see them. Now shift your focus to the doorway where five or more students stand outside, peering through the glass. Their tiny fists bang desperately at the door.They're crying, pleading for the ...
Autistična djeca, naši učitelji: povratak na ono što je važno | Jasmina Kundić | TEDxKarlovacLibrary
TEDx Talks· 2025-09-26 15:38
Kroz osobno iskustvo majčinstva i rada s autističnom djecom, Jasmina poziva na promjenu perspektive: djeca s autizmom nisu ovdje da ih "popravljamo", nego da nas odrasle podsjete na istinske vrijednosti života. Uče nas prisutnosti, autentičnosti i bezuvjetnom prihvaćanju. Iako je tijekom karijere stjecala značajno iskustvo u pravnim, organizacijskim i projektnim poslovima, po prirodi nije osoba koja se uklapa u unaprijed zadane okvire. Životna prekretnica dogodila se kroz majčinstvo djetetu iz spektra autiz ...

Core Argument - Food serves as a powerful medium for dialogue, empathy, and understanding across cultural and social divides [1][2][3][6][8][29][31] - Food can reveal inequalities, power dynamics, historical contexts, and political influences [3][4][10][21][26][30] - Examining the history and meaning embedded within food necessitates active listening and respect for diverse perspectives [22][23][28][29] Food & Culture - Sharing food fosters inclusion, welcomes interaction, and facilitates exploration of personal and collective identities [8][9][29] - Food traditions are often strongly valued within families and communities, connecting generations and preserving cultural heritage [6][7][8] - Food can be used to assert one's place in the culinary world and tell stories of hardship, exclusion, and resilience [27][28] Case Study: Spam Musubi - Spam musubi in Hawaii embodies a complex history of war, colonialism, immigration, and cultural adaptation [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] - The dish reflects the influence of the US military, Japanese laborers, the sugar industry, and the annexation of Hawaii [14][15][17][19][20][21] - Analyzing the components of spam musubi reveals the political story and the ways communities integrate foreign foods [21][22] Food & Social Justice - A deeper understanding of food involves recognizing the structures of inequality and exclusion associated with it [24][26][28][30] - It is crucial to acknowledge the contributions and struggles of immigrants and other marginalized groups in shaping food cultures [24][25][26][27][28] - Engaging with food requires confronting complicity in negative histories and forging new bonds of understanding [30]

Core Message - The core message emphasizes shifting societal mindset towards inclusivity, moving beyond short-term help to genuine understanding and leadership by individuals with disabilities [4] - The speech introduces the "vowels of inclusion" (A, E, I, O, U) as a framework for fostering inclusivity [5] Vowels of Inclusion Framework - **Awareness and Acceptance:** Highlights the importance of recognizing and accepting diverse backgrounds, abilities, and disabilities without labeling individuals as "special" or "separate" [5][6] - **Empathy:** Stresses the need for creating safe spaces, active listening, and understanding individuals' unique stories beyond assumptions and biases [8][10] - **Integration:** Focuses on bringing people with diverse backgrounds together, ensuring access to wider communities and breaking down stereotypes, while constantly introspecting for true accessibility and fairness [10][11][12] - **Openness:** Underscores the importance of being open to adapting and learning different ways of interacting with people with disabilities, citing sign language interpretation as an example [12][13] - **Unleashing Diversity:** Highlights the power of diversity in unlocking new ways of understanding and appreciating the world, encouraging a shift in focus beyond visuals [14][15][16] Organizational Impact and Sustainability - The organization practices the "vowels of inclusion" to include the community in every decision, emphasizing purpose and perseverance over huge resources [16][17] - Letting the community lead can make the model truly sustainable, with the ultimate goal of achieving normalization [17]

Challenges in the Engineering Industry - The engineering industry faces a growing skills gap and a mental health emergency [11] - Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50 in the UK, with those in construction, engineering, and manufacturing being over three times more likely to die by suicide than the national average [12] - Research indicates that 81% of engineers report some form of emotional or mental health concern, yet less than half are comfortable discussing it with their employer [13] - An estimated shortfall of over 173,000 engineers is costing the UK economy around 15 billion pounds annually [14] - In a 12-month period, over 38,000 women left engineering roles in the UK, decreasing the proportion of women in engineering and technical roles [15] - Nearly 72% of queer individuals in engineering and automation have experienced or witnessed discrimination in the workplace [16] The Need for Engineered Inclusion - Inclusion should be engineered, not just emphasized, drawing from automation principles to build better systems [9][31] - The industry should apply the same engineering logic used for machines to the workplace, monitoring the people behind them [10][11] - Traditional employee engagement surveys are like scheduled maintenance, disruptive and inefficient; the industry needs condition monitoring for inclusion [21][22] - Condition monitoring for inclusion involves tracking psychological safety, workload, career progression, and cultural kindness as a continuous feedback loop [23] - Predictive systems for inclusion should build in early warning, redundancy, and resilience, tracking who gets promoted and who gets stuck mid-career [25][26] - Inclusion should be designed from the ground up, based on data, and treated with the same rigor as quality control [27][28]

Communication & Inclusion - Real communication begins with effort and non-verbal cues, not just words [1] - Feeling unfamiliar or unsure is a natural part of trying new things [1] - Failure is not final; it's an opportunity to try again, think, and listen better [3] - Inclusion involves being quiet at times and recognizing small gestures [3] Project SignVerse & Impact - Project SignVerse was born from a moment of understanding and a desire to not repeat past mistakes [3] - 135 students were willing to learn sign language, demonstrating a willingness to care and try [3] - The project started with teaching basics of Indian Sign Language to 9th and 10th graders [1] Personal Growth & Reflection - It took two years to understand that inclusion is not a task to check off, but something to learn again and again [2] - The speaker initially aimed to teach Korean or the power of Mandarin, but shifted to Indian Sign Language [1] - The speaker realized the importance of being present and listening, even without sound [1]
