Transforming communities in unlikely spaces | Terrance Hinton | TEDxOhioStateUniversity
Dr. Terrance Hinton examines how education challenges conventional boundaries and fosters transformation in overlooked spaces, including prisons. Drawing inspiration from the Ohio Prison Education Exchange Project, his talk highlights the power of shared learning experiences between incarcerated individuals and outside students. Through these interactions, Dr. Hinton illustrates how education promotes healing, personal growth, and meaningful social change in unexpected contexts. As a scholar-practitioner, Dr. Hinton’s work intersects across the criminal justice, public policy and administration field. His research and scholarly contributions have focused on topics important to the criminal justice reentry field such as education and workforce development. He has instructed, mentored and assisted over 4,000 justice impacted citizens both in and out of the prison system for reentry assistance. His contributions in the criminal justice field have been highlighted within peer reviewed journals, op-eds and magazines for corrections professionals. His work has also been featured in the Columbus Dispatch, NBC4 WCMH-TV News Columbus and WOSU Public Media Radio.

- 15:45I soldi che hai in banca non sono i tuoi | Luca Boiardi | TEDxPolitecnico di TorinoIn questo intervento, Luca Boiardi, divulgatore e imprenditore, racconta un episodio semplice ma rivelatore: una giornata qualunque, alla cassa di un supermercato, la sua carta non funziona. Un piccolo evento che diventa il punto di partenza per una riflessione molto più ampia su come il nostro denaro sia fragile, controllato e, spesso, fuori dal nostro controllo.Luca ci porta poi dall’Italia all’Argentina, raccontando la storia di Alvaro, impiegato in banca che racconta come ogni persona in Argentina non potesse prelevare più di una piccola cifra giornaliera, bloccati da regolamenti imposti per evitare il collasso bancario del paese.Da questi episodi personali e globali emerge una domanda: il denaro che usiamo ogni giorno, è davvero nostro?È qui che entra in scena Bitcoin: uno strumento con regole semplici, trasparenti e uguali per tutti. Una rete che non dipende da governi o banche, pensata per proteggere il valore e la libertà delle persone in tempi di crisi improvvise. Founder of The Gateway Group, an Italian corporate group that includes, in addition to the educational brand The Crypto Gateway, various initiatives aimed at fostering a responsible approach to crypto and promoting its development and adoption. Within the group, notable projects include the bitcoin cashback platform Bitcashback, the tax reporting software Tatax, and the personal finance budgeting and tracking app Finhub. Before entering the crypto world, he worked as a clinical engineer at the Piacenza Hospital.

- 14:41Pizza z ananasem czy politycy nie odpowiadający na pytania? | Radomir Wit | TEDxKozminski UniversityZ humorem i ironią, ale też z dużą dawką refleksji, prelekcja porusza temat jakości debaty publicznej i odpowiedzialności osób pełniących funkcje publiczne. Prelegent analizuje zjawisko unikania odpowiedzi, PR-owych wykrętów i erozji zaufania społecznego.Podkreśla, że na politykach spoczywa szczególna odpowiedzialność nie tylko za decyzje, które podejmują, ale również za sposób, w jaki komunikują się z obywatelami. Bo demokracja zaczyna się od odpowiedzialnych pytań i odważnych odpowiedzi. Dziennikarz polityczny, od 2016 roku związany z TVN24. Korespondent sejmowy, autor i prowadzący programu #BezKitu, a także cyklu „Sejm Wita” na platformie TVN24+. Pierwsze polityczne rozmowy przeprowadzał jako licealista w Akademickim Radiu LUZ 91.6 FM we Wrocławiu. Po drodze zajmował się kulturą, muzyką i rozrywką, między innymi w Radiu Traffic, Radiu ZET, TVP2 i Polskim Radiu. Później zrozumiał, że polityka jest jednak ciekawsza niż nawet najlepsze piosenki z listy 500 utworów wszech czasów magazynu „Rolling Stone”. I tak od 2015 r. zajmuje się śledzeniem i relacjonowaniem polskiego życia politycznego. W 2023 wydał książkę „Sejm Wita. Czyli czego nie mówią wam politycy?”, która podbiła listy bestsellerów, w 2024 roku książkę „Negocjatorzy policyjni. Zawsze chodzi o życie” oraz książkę dla młodszych czytelników „Sejm Wita WSZYSTKICH”.
