Muskan was a young 16year-old girl. One day she turned around to me and said, "Sir, my story was written even before I was born." She said, she wasn't angry. She wasn't dramatic.She said it as a statement of fact that someone might say this is my surname or this is my height. Trafficked at the age of 12, her childhood ended even before it began. Over the next few years, she was repeatedly abused, controlled, dehumanized, denied safety. She was denied choice and denied even the most basic dignity.She lived i ...

Well, as just has been said, my name is Zaklesio. I'm a year 11 pupil, and today I want to talk to you about the flavors of mankind. What makes man so powerful in compared to the natural world.What has caused us to become so good at surviving that we no longer simply survive. Instead, we talk about philosophy, politics, the sciences. What traits do we possess that has made us so good.So, instead of listing more, I thought I'd use the metaphor of this. Now, for those who don't know, this is a risotto. It's a ...

Imagine your inner child, your child or your grandchild. You're seven years old looking up at the sky. You have a fascination with life on other planets? Do aliens have dreams? Do they have pets? Do they go to school? Do they fly around in rocket ships to their friends houses? You wonder, will you ever visit another planet in your lifetime? And suddenly you look down and you see a blue lights and a screen. Suddenly that imagination starts to dim. This is the experience of hundreds and millions of young peop ...

Good morning. A few years ago, I met a little boy. He was um some difficulty expressing himself and I just thought I want to help him.At the time, I was studying music technology. So, I starting researching how I can't find tools for any field and turn them in musical instruments. so that children with different ways of learning could express themselves through music.But the most important thing I discover wasn't only the tools. It is the way you communicate, the way you share knowledge and talk to a child, ...

So when I was a child, I thought the world was good. Not because someone taught me that, but because children enter the world assuming possibility. They don't enter assuming the worst.Then somewhere between childhood and adulthood something quietly happens. We start calling fear as wisdom, cynicism as realism and we call social distancing for trust. Now I think this is one of the least talked about tragedies of becoming an adult because somewhere along the way we don't just grow older, we grow colder.We eve ...

How is it that trusting in yourself and trusting in others can open up this realm of new possibilities.I was 25 years old when I first started my job at Zaha Hadid Architects.

She saw something in me that I only learned to realize after.She sent me to see the gallerist in the meatacking district in New York to see the developer in Hong Kong into the ...

I often face the question that why do you still spend days scratching and redrawing the pictures in the age when AI can generate the perfect illusion in just 3 seconds. My answer is this because during those days I'm not just drawing a picture.I am drawing myself and that is my topic for today. painting my I am in the age of my journey with art started by accident. When I was a kid, I once put a cable car during the trip with my family and after that when I came back home, ...
