La vita riparte da una donna | Silvia Redigolo | TEDxReggioEmilia
Silvia ci porta in un viaggio intimo e profondo, raccontandoci la sua scoperta di un nuovo coraggio: non solo lottare per gli altri, ma guardarsi dentro, smontare le proprie armature e riscoprire sé stessi. Ha vissuto esperienze straordinarie, incontrato donne coraggiose e raccontato le loro storie, poi ad un certo punto qualcosa non si “incastrava più, neppure a forza”, si è accorta che non sapeva più ascoltare i suoi desideri, accettare la sua fragilità, rallentare. Nel suo speech ci parla di come ha trasformato la sua vita senza stravolgerla, ma vivendo in modo diverso, con occhi e cuore rinnovato, per riscoprirsi ancora più appassionata nei confronti di tutto ciò che già c’è. Ha imparato a chiedere aiuto, ad aprirsi agli altri, a celebrare i piccoli momenti di felicità. Ci dimostra che, anche nella complessità e nel disorientamento si possono scorgere nuove vie, ci si può ritrovare, riscoprire e cominciare di nuovo magari non da soli: insieme, il cammino è più bello. // Silvia takes us on a private and deep journey, and tells us how she has found a new courage: not only of fighting for others, but also looking at herself, taking off her own armor and finding herself again. She had been living extraordinary experiences, meeting brave women and telling us their stories, then at a certain point something “didn’t ‘fit’ anymore, not even by force”: she realized she was no longer able to listen to her own desires, accept her own fragility, or slow down. With her speech she talks about how she has transformed her life without really up-ending it, but by living in a different way, with open eyes and a renewed heart, to rediscover herself even more passionate about everything that has always been there. She has learned how to ask for help, to open up to others, and to celebrate the little moments of happiness. She is showing us that, even in complexity and disorientation you can see new ways, find yourself again, and start over, maybe not on your own: walking together is nicer.

- 19:01Language: Where Worlds Meet | Pradeep Badekkila | TEDxSiddagangaInstituteofTechnologyMr. Pradeep Badekkila, known as the voice behind 'Bigg Boss Kannada' and Bengaluru’s Namma Metro announcements, is a voice-over artist, actor, writer, and podcaster, explores the intersection of language and technology, focusing on the “homogenization of languages” in the digital age. He raises thought-provoking questions about the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in shaping the future of languages, particularly endangered ones. Will AI serve as a savior or contribute to the extinction of dying languages and dialects? Mr. Badekkila argues that AI should be seen as a tool, not a threat, capable of preserving linguistic diversity. By creating digital archives, translation tools, and educational resources, AI has the potential to revive and sustain endangered languages. However, he cautions against the unchecked homogenization driven by dominant languages in AI systems, urging thoughtful development that respects cultural and linguistic diversity.
