What's keeping you from being confident? | Sophie Marrs | TEDxKelowna Youth
Sophie delves into the transformative power of confidence and how it shapes our ability to take risks and grow. Drawing from her experiences in sports and personal development, she encourages others to embrace confidence as a lifelong skill that can be nurtured and shared.
I’m Sophie Marrs, a passionate Grade 10 student from Western Canada. Soccer is a huge part of my life; it not only fuels my drive but teaches me valuable lessons in resilience, teamwork, and personal growth. Beyond sports, I have a deep love for learning and exploring the world, whether through travel or new experiences. I’m always seeking ways to challenge myself and push my limits, both on and off the field. I believe in the power of confidence and how it can shape who we are, which is why I’m excited to share my journey with others.

- 10:13Meșterul minții | Silvia Timișescu | TEDxYouth@DrobetaTurnuSeverinMintea ta este un atelier, iar tu ești meșterul care adună instrumente și dezvoltă abilitățile necesare pentru a le folosi, pentru a le combina, pentru a crea conexiuni, pentru a inova. Sunt profesor, și de peste 10 ani susțin elevi de gimnaziu în explorarea tărâmului matematicii și în a-și crește încrederea în capacitatea lor de a o învața. Încă de când am terminat facultatea mi-am dorit să am spațiul și libertatea de a face lucrurile diferit, așa că am ales calea antreprenoriatului și am creat contexte în care să pot să predau și explic matematica “altfel”.Acest “altfel” înseamnă, pe de o parte, abordarea noțiunilor într-un context practic, dar în același timp mai înseamnă și implicare în dezvoltarea moțională a copiilor cu care lucrez.Dacă ar fi să aleg un singur cuvânt care să mă descrie, acela ar fi “curiozitate”. Cred că ea e esențială pentru a trezi dorința de explorare și a descoperi bucuria învățării.

- 6:25Educația – un privilegiu | Luiza Bunea | TEDxYouth@DrobetaTurnuSeverinTe-ai gândit vreodată că trezitul de dimineață să mergi la școală este un privilegiu pe care mulți copii nu îl au? Chiar și scrisul temelor este ceva la care unii elevi nu au șansa să se gândească. Uneori considerăm școala un ghimpe în coaste și ne imaginăm că totul ar fi mai bine fără ea, în timp ce unii copii își doresc, dar nu au șansa de a merge zilnic la școală. Luiza este absolventă a facultății de Pedagogie, domeniu în care și-a dorit încă din copilărie sa profeseze, lucru pe care l-a și reușit de curând. În timpul liber îi place să citească, sa meargă în natură și să descopere frumusețile vieții. Atunci când predau mă simt cea mai fericită în ciuda neajunsurilor materiale. Am învățat că fiecare copil este unic și are nevoie de susținere pentru a se simți stăpân pe sine. Îmi place foarte mult că pot să ajut, că sunt mereu lângă ei dacă au nevoie, iar elevii mei știu foarte bine asta.
