How Social Expectations of Gender Hurt Society & Youth | Amalia Smith Duran | TEDxKelowna Youth
Amalia explores the impact of societal expectations of gender on youth and how these perceptions shape identity and opportunities. Drawing from her multicultural background and personal experiences, she advocates for a world where understanding and empathy drive change. I am an international student from Bogotá, Colombia. I have recently moved to Canada from South America and am in my senior year at Mount Boucherie Secondary School. I come from a mixed household, one of diverse ideologies, thoughts, and perspectives. However, most importantly, from a family of understanding and empathy. This has taught me to maintain an open perspective throughout the years, looking to learn from others whilst relaying accurate information to others -- all in the search for being part of the movement to create a society which keeps an open ear, is willing to learn and expand their knowledge regardless of others' irrelevant, human characteristics.

- 13:34Proyección social, ¿Es realmente una responsabilidad? | Oscar Eduardo Mendoza | TEDxFUCSCuando nos hablan de universidad, siempre pensamos en un edificio donde hay interacción de estudiantes y profesores a través de clases, exámenes, trabajos, lecturas… en fin, estudios. Sin embargo, desde sus orígenes hace ya varios siglos, las universidades se caracterizan por algo mucho más grande que está detrás de nuestra primera aproximación mental: el impacto social. Y es que el impacto social, se puede traducir como “servir a la sociedad”, y eso es algo que se puede enmarcar en la proyección social universitaria.Acompáñame a través de esta conferencia TEDx para que, cuando te hablen de universidad, cambies tu visión y la veas como una gran herramienta de transformación social que va mucho más allá de los muros y que nos beneficia a todos.
