In this talk, Rafaela Prado Cardoso explores the ocean from a perspective we rarely consider: through sound. She reveals how, beneath the surface, life depends less on sight and far more on hearing — and how understanding this can transform the way we relate to the sea.Drawing from her work at SOMAR, a marine conservation and bioacoustics organization in Portugal, Rafaela presents a world where dolphins use unique whistles as names, whales sing songs that span oceans, and even tiny shrimp produce noise for survival. She also addresses the growing issue of underwater noise pollution and its impact on marine life, urging us to think about how human activity is drowning out vital natural communication.Blending science, storytelling, and emotion, this talk is both a call to awareness and an invitation to connection. Because we protect what we understand — and when we learn to truly listen, we begin to care in deeper ways. Rafaela Prado Cardoso is a Brazilian oceanographer and co-founder of SOMAR - Marine Conservation and Bioacoustics Association, a nonprofit based in the Algarve, Portugal, that uses sound as a powerful tool for ocean literacy and conservation. She currently leads projects that merge science, art, and education to bring people closer to the ocean in inclusive, sensory, and emotionally engaging ways. Through immersive experiences — from underwater soundscapes to interactive exhibitions — Rafaela invites audiences of all ages and backgrounds to listen more deeply to the sea. Her work highlights how sound can reveal the hidden life of the ocean and foster a more conscious, connected relationship with the planet.

Dora Puhakka was a Speaker at TEDxEspoo Youth 2025!What does it truly mean to connect with another human being?In this TEDx Talk, Dora Puhakka invites us to reflect on one of the most universal human needs: to be seen, to be heard, and to feel that we belong. From the beginning of the Talk we are reminded that human connection is not a luxury - it is a necessity. Yet despite living in an increasingly interconnected world, many of us feel isolated, divided, and misunderstood.This Talk explores how concepts like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are not just checkboxes - they are key ingredients in building spaces where people feel valued, respected, and truly part of a whole. We are challenged to recognize that belonging is not automatic. It is something we create internationally, especially to face differences that separate us.At the center of this Talk is a personal story from Dora’s childhood - an ordinary family dinner that turned into an extraordinary lesson on empathy. When her parents swapped roles and sat in the children's seat, mimicking their behaviors. It was a demonstration of what it means to take someone else's place, to step outside one's comfort zone, and to feel what it's like to be the “other”. This left a lasting impression on Dora and helped shape her work. Through this we come to understand that empathy is not just as a feeling, but as a practice, one that requires courage and active engagement.Dora shares insights from over a decade of working in diverse organizations, highlighting peer support as one of the most impactful tools in fostering connection. In her Talk she explores how checking in on emotions - both our own and others- can help close the emotional distance that often keeps us from truly understanding one another. Instead of reacting to behavior, we are encouraged to listen to the stories behind the action, to hear the tone behind the words, and to be curious rather than judgmental.At the end of Dora’s Talk she says: “When we speak to one another, when we encounter one another, instead of looking at people who are differences, we need to look at them, trying to find the similarities that we have, because there is a lot about the differences that divides us.”This Talk reminds us that while differences may divide, stories can unite. And when we look at others not through the lens of judgement, but curiosity and care - when we dare to encounter each other from their point of view - we create the foundation for a more inclusive and empathetic world.#TEDxEspooYouth #TEDxTalk #TEDxEspooYouth2025 Dora Puhakka, a highly experienced DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) consultant from Namibia, currently based in Finland.
