Nel suo talk, Barbara Schiavulli condivide la sua esperienza di giornalista sul campo, raccontando storie di ingiustizia, resistenza e speranza. Il giornalismo, per lei, è uno strumento per mostrare non solo il peggio del mondo, ma anche per costruire un mondo migliore attraverso il racconto delle voci degli invisibili, degli ultimi e degli eroi e delle eroine silenziose. Scrive per chi non ha voce. Scrive per chi vuole leggere davvero. Scrive per essere la differenza. Valigia rosa, stilografica e giubbotto antiproiettile con la scritta "press". Barbara Schiavulli ha sempre avuto il sacro fuoco del giornalismo! A tredici anni quando le sue compagne di scuola volevano fare le maestre o le dottoresse, lei voleva fare l'inviata di guerra. Ha raccontato tutti i conflitti degli ultimi vent’anni lasciandosi avvolgere dalle storie e dal caldo torrido dell’Iraq, dalle montagne dell’Afghanistan, dalle rovine della Palestina. Barbara Schiavulli ha scritto sempre. Senza mai smettere, anche quando i giornali la guardavano dall’alto al basso. È co-fondatrice e direttrice di Radio Bullets, un progetto giornalistico indipendente fatto di rabbia e amore che celebra il lavoro dei giornalisti indipendenti. Il suo ultimo libro "Burqa Queen" pubblicato nel 2023, riflette la sua scrittura sincera, diretta e senza filtri, capace di essere delicata e al contempo incisiva.

Nel suo talk, Sara Turetta affronta il drammatico problema del sovrappopolamento canino e le sofferenze che ne derivano. Un appello alla sterilizzazione come azione saggia e responsabile per il bene di tutti gli animali che ogni giorno finiscono la loro vita in un inceneritore, proprio come un rifiuto qualsiasi, o per quelli che restano rinchiusi a vita in una gabbia, solo perché per loro "non c'è spazio nel mondo". Dopo anni di volontariato nei canili del milanese, Sara decide nel 2002 di dedicarsi esclusivamente alla drammatica situazione dei randagi romeni, verificata di persona durante un terribile viaggio estivo nell’agosto 2001. Impiegata in una prestigiosa agenzia di pubblicità a Milano, nel 2002 dà le dimissioni per poter gestire a Cernavoda il nascente programma di sterilizzazione. Fonda Save the Dogs and Other Animals, una nonprofit dedicata al salvataggio e alla riabilitazione di cani randagi e altri animali, e da allora si divide tra l’Italia e la Romania, occupandosi a tempo pieno di dirigere la sede milanese dell’associazione e svolgendo attività di advocacy a livello internazionale. La sua storia, raccontata nell'autobiografia "I cani, la mia vita", ci ricorda che l'amore e la dedizione di una persona possono cambiare il destino di migliaia di creature indifese e rendere il mondo un posto migliore.
