A lehetetlenen túl | Nóra Vámos | TEDxLibertyBridgeWomen
Mi vesz rá egy háromgyerekes édesanyát, hogy komoly sportháttér nélkül extrém kalandokra induljon a világ leghidegebb pontjain, Grönlandon és a sarkkörökön túlra? Vámos Nóra bátrosága, a vágya, hogy a komfortzónáján túl megtalálja az igazi önmagát, inspiráló lehet mindannyiunk számára!

What drives a mother of three to embark on extreme adventures in the coldest places on Earth—Greenland and beyond the Arctic Circle—without a serious sports background? Nóra Vámos’s courage and her desire to discover her true self beyond her comfort zone can be an inspiration to us all! Nóra achieved something never before accomplished: she was the first in the world to complete a Greenland crossing as part of a mixed-gender duo, taking on one of the toughest and most grueling ultra-distance Arctic challenges. During the 30-day expedition, she endured -20°C temperatures while traversing the 560-kilometer expanse of the world’s largest island, a land ruled by polar bears. Nóra also became the first Hungarian woman to complete this feat—and she didn’t stop there. She conquered Norway next, then embarked on a solo 21-day trek through Hardangervidda National Park, the very region where Amundsen once prepared for his South Pole expedition.
A single mother raising three teenagers, Nóra didn’t just randomly pick a spot on the map. She undertook these extreme, comfort-zone-defying journeys to meet the requirements of a rigorous qualification program—one that will allow her to take part in an Arctic expedition no Hungarian has ever completed.

- 15:31Por qué la menstruación sigue siendo un tema incómodo | Rosario Muñoz | TEDxCadizUniversityThis video delves into the reasons why menstruation remains an uncomfortable topic for many people. It also explores potential solutions to normalize this topic, which is as natural as life itself. Rosario Muñoz es estudiante de Psicología en la Universidad de Cádiz y siempre se ha caracterizado por perseguir la justicia y la igualdad. Le encanta comunicar, aprender y, si puede, hacer arte de ello. Le gusta crear y poner iniciativa y ganas en todo lo que hace, saltar a la piscina (y si está vacía aprender de ello) y disfrutar de lo nuevo que aporta el mundo para enseñarle.Hablando de enseñanzas, su paso por la carrera le ha hecho observar con detenimiento tanto a las personas a nivel individual como la sociedad que nos rodea: los prejuicios, estereotipos y normas sociales que nos influencian en la intimidad. Y a todo ello siempre le ha gustado añadirle perspectiva de género. Por ello ha tomado la decisión de hablar de una experiencia colectiva que, sin embargo, nos llevamos todas las noches a la cama.
