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.

In questo affascinante intervento, il Professor Gianvito De Martino esplora la complessità della vita attraverso una lente multidisciplinare che unisce fisica, chimica, biologia e psicologia. Con un approccio basato sul modello emergentista, De Martino ci conduce in un viaggio che parte dagli atomi e dalle molecole fino ad arrivare alla mente umana, un’entità materiale ed emergente capace di influenzare e trasformare la nostra stessa biologia attraverso l’epigenetica. Qual è il ruolo dello stress, delle relazioni e dell'ambiente nella nostra esistenza? Come possiamo plasmare il nostro futuro e quello delle generazioni successive, andando oltre i limiti imposti dal DNA? De Martino ci invita a scoprire il nostro potere di scelta, ricordandoci che non siamo predestinati: l’educazione e la consapevolezza possono diventare strumenti potenti per determinare il nostro destino. Un discorso che sfida il determinismo genetico, celebra il coraggio della conoscenza e ci ispira a vedere la vita come un ecosistema in cui mente, corpo e ambiente si influenzano reciprocamente. /// With this fascinating speech, Professor Gianvito De Martino explores the complexity of life through a multidisciplinary lens connecting physics, chemistry, biology and psychology. With an approach based on an emergentist model, De Martino guides us through a journey that starts from atoms and molecules, up to the human mind, an emerging and material entity which is able to influence and transform our own biologic system through epigenetics. What is the role of stress, relationships and environment in our existence? How can we shape our own and the next generations’ future, by going beyond the limits imposed by DNA? De Martino invites people to discover the power of choice, and reminds them that they are not destined: education and awareness can become powerful instruments to determine their own fate. This speech challenges genetic determinism and celebrates the courage of knowledge, an inspiration to see life as an ecosystem where mind, body and environment are all influenced by each other. Gianvito Martino nasce a Bergamo nel 1962. Si laurea in Medicina e Chirurgia presso l’Università di Pavia, dove si specializza in Neurologia. Ha trascorso periodi di ricerca presso il Karolinska Institute di Stoccolma e l’Università di Chicago.

Cultural Intelligence (CQ) comes to us through lived experiences as we interact with different people in different circumstances. We grow from concepts and ideas we know about culture when we incorporate a commitment to understand and act on our knowledge. This Head, Heart, and Hands is all required to move from intercultural understanding to cultural intelligence. The speaker walks through her 36 years of living in a variety of cultures. Dr. Shannon Wellwood is the Executive Director of Dar es Salaam International Academy and is an experienced leader in international schools.
