Pode a dança mudar vidas? Esta palestra explora o poder do movimento como uma ferramenta de autoconhecimento, cura e empoderamento. Através de uma jornada pessoal profunda, revela como a dança vai muito além da arte—é um meio de expressão, de libertação emocional e de construção de resiliência. Num mundo onde soluções tradicionais nem sempre chegam, esta palestra desafia a forma como vemos a dança, mostrando o seu impacto na saúde mental, emocional e social. Nascida e criada em São Vicente, Cabo Verde, Noelisa Santos encontrou na dança um refúgio muito antes de torná-la sua profissão. Aos 13 anos, emigrou para os Países Baixos, onde aprofundou os seus estudos em diversas formas de dança, incluindo ballet, dança contemporânea, afro-jazz e danças urbanas. Mais tarde, expandiu os seus conhecimentos na China e no Senegal, explorando danças tradicionais. Agora de volta a Cabo Verde, dedica-se ao ensino e à criação artística, sendo uma referência na área. Acredita que a dança é uma ferramenta poderosa de expressão, transformação e conexão, ajudando pessoas a reencontrarem a sua força interior através do movimento.

In this powerful TEDx talk, Joshua Kwaku Asiedu redefines what it means to be 'radical.' Often misunderstood as extremism, 'radical' actually comes from the Latin word radix, meaning 'roots.' Joshua explores how returning to our roots—our ancestral wisdom and sustainable ways of life—can help us tackle the root causes of racial, oppressive, and environmental injustice. He calls for a radical revolution that protects our environment, honors ancestral knowledge, and resists the forces of exploitation. The time for change is now, and this revolution begins with each of us reclaiming our relationship with Mother Nature. Joshua Kwaku Asiedu is an eco-entrepreneur who journeyed from the streets of Milan to the forests of Ghana in a quest for self-discovery. Inspired by lessons from indigenous communities, he built his own eco-village, creating a model for sustainable living by reconnecting with the land. His work blends ancestral wisdom with modern innovation, offering a powerful example of how to live in harmony with nature.
