C’è chi pensa che il silenzio sia vuoto. Per Paolo Brunelli, invece, è proprio lì che nasce il significato delle cose. Maestro gelatiere, musicista nell’anima e artigiano delle emozioni, Paolo ci accompagna in un viaggio tra parole, suoni e sapori, alla scoperta di ciò che rende davvero viva ogni esperienza: le pause. Quelle della musica, che danno respiro al suono.
Quelle della vita, che trasformano le attese in scelte. Quelle del gelato, dove anche il tempo può, per un attimo, fermarsi. Un talk che ci invita a rallentare, ad ascoltare e a riscoprire la bellezza dei momenti sospesi. Perché le pause non solo scrivono le parole. Le pause scrivono le vite. Paolo Brunelli è un non-gelatiere. Proprio la negazione racchiude tutto il suo mondo, che parte dal gelato, si tuffa nel cioccolato, esplora pasticceria e alta cucina e attraversa musica, design, architettura, arte. Un artigiano attratto dalla tecnologia, che rispetta errori e imperfezioni, necessari per migliorare, certo, ma soprattutto per avvicinarsi a tutti e far capire cosa sia realmente un prodotto fatto da mano umana: un incredibile accoppiamento tra calcolo matematico e sentimento.

- 8:52The Hidden Cost of Your Daily Coffee | Jordan Jamie Chiedza Chaya | TEDxUniversityofPretoriaWhat if your morning coffee could help save the planet? In this thought-provoking and witty talk, Jordan explores how our everyday habits — from grabbing that takeaway latte to upgrading our phones — have ripple effects far beyond what we see. Drawing from his own journey as a coffee lover turned barista, he uncovers the hidden costs of convenience and the power of conscious consumer choices. Through humor and relatable storytelling, Jordan reminds us that sustainability isn’t just a corporate responsibility — it starts with us. Each purchase, each cup, each small decision shapes the kind of world we leave behind. Because when the consumer speaks, industries listen. And when we lead with awareness, change begins — one cup at a time. #TEDxUniversityofPretoria #Sustainability #ClimateAction #CoffeeCulture #ConsumerPower Jordan Chaya is a sustainability advocate, barista, and aspiring agricultural economist who believes that global challenges can be understood and approached through small, everyday rituals, like a cup of coffee. What began as a personal love affair with coffee has grown into a platform for exploring the hidden costs of convenience and the urgent need for sustainable choices. As a public speaker, she uses her voice to show how small daily actions connect to larger systems of food, waste, and climate, inspiring audiences to recognize their power in shaping a more sustainable future.
