Changer notre regard sur l'Autre pour préserver le vivant ! | Galitt Kenan | TEDxBordeaux
? Et si nous élargissions notre définition de l’Autre avant de parler de respect de l’Autre ?Nous parlons souvent de respect et d’empathie envers nos proches, nos communautés… mais qu’en est-il du vivant dans son ensemble ? Et si notre lien à la nature et aux autre animaux était aussi essentiel que celui que nous entretenons avec les humains ?Face à l’effondrement de la biodiversité, il est urgent de repenser notre rapport au monde. Nous ne sommes pas séparés du vivant, nous en faisons partie.Pourquoi ne pas choisir l’empathie comme boussole pour guider nos actions ?? Découvrez cette réflexion essentielle et partagez-la ! Après des études juridiques et de management, Galitt a travaillé dans le conseil en stratégie et en finance. Elle a rejoint le monde des ONGs en 2000.Elle a dirigé la Fondation Hommes de Parole et mis en place un projet hors-norme permettant à 100 rabbins et 100 imams du monde entier d'échanger et initier des actions concrètes. Ce dialogue inter-religieux, à la rencontre de l’Autre a aboutit à la création d’un institut, « Tolerance Watch », qui a été intégré à l’ONU.Déjà la volonté de créer le lien entre les humains.Galitt a ensuite dirigé le projet « 6 milliards d’Autres » de Yann Arthus-Bertrand et de la Fondation GoodPlanet. Un portrait vidéo de l’humanité. Un projet démesuré : après avoir interviewé plus de 5600 personnes dans 64 pays, les films ont fait l’objet de plus de 30 expositions dans le monde entier et remporté de nombreux prix. Dans ce cadre, elle a dirigé la parution de différents ouvrages et organisé des conférences internationales avec des leaders de ce monde.Un projet qui permet de réfléchir à notre rapport au vivant.Elle dirige depuis 2018 le Jane Goodall Institute France, à un moment de fort développement de ses actions et de sa visibilité. L'institut œuvre à un vivre-ensemble apaisé entre les hommes, les autres animaux et la nature. Il protège des centaines de chimpanzés (dans des sanctuaires, réserves et autres), lutte contre la fragmentation des habitats naturels et la déforestation (restauration des sols, agro-écologie, couloirs écologiques, reforestation…) et travaille en collaboration avec les populations locales qui sont au cœur de la stratégie de conservation de l’Institut (accès à l’éducation, à la santé, à l’eau, à la sécurité alimentaire, micro-crédit, women empowerment …). En France, le Jane Goodall Institute est également actif tant en termes de sciences et recherche (Prix du Jeune Chercheur, conférences scientifiques, études éthologies), que de plaidoyer pour un cadre législatif plus en harmonie avec nos valeurs, que en menant des projets de terrain (rewild, bien-être animal, déforestation importée, chasse aux trophées…). L’Institut développe également un programme pour la jeunesse « Roots & Shoots » (des racines et des bourgeons) qui accompagne plus de 10 000 jeunes en France et plus d’un million dans le monde qui souhaitent agir pour un monde meilleur pour les hommes, les autres animaux et notre environnement partagé.
Le lien à l’Autre est ainsi au coeur de son travail et de sa réflexion depuis 25 ans. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
