Marco Grieco ci induce a riflettere sulle possibilità offerte dal mondo del giornalismo di raccontare la realtà, di ridisegnarla e di come le nostre emozioni possono generare una gabbia in questa descrizione.
La narrazione giornalistica del mondo si costruisce soprattutto per immagini.
Ma se l’informazione diventa consumo, non c’è spazio per il possibile e neppure per il giornalismo, che va oltre il dato per stimolare a ridisegnare un contesto nuovo. E per questo il giornalista serve, serve per andare oltre, superare la soglia di uno spazio e descrivere un luogo dove un’alternativa è possibile. Marco Grieco, nato a Pisticci nel 1987, è giornalista e podcaster, collabora con L’Espresso, i settimanali di la Repubblica, Rivista Studio, Vanity Fair, e tutte le piattaforme di informazione che gli permettono di tenere un piede nel giornalismo vecchia scuola e un altro nei nuovi modi di fare informazione.
Conosciuto a livello nazionale nella nuova generazione di vaticanisti, preferisce definirsi come un giornalista che racconta il mondo attraverso la piccola lente del Vaticano. Il suo podcast Conclave, che ha raccontato giorno per giorno la sede vacante fino all’elezione di papa Leone XIV, è stato per settimane in cima alle classifiche delle piattaforme di streaming audio.
Si occupa anche di diversity nello sport e nella società con un occhio alla cultura pop attraverso collaborazioni con Vogue Italia e Italysegreta. Dai suoi studi classici in archeologia ha imparato che una notizia, per avere valore, non può mai prescindere dal contesto. In un’altra vita avrebbe fatto l’entomologo. O forse ha letto troppo Nabokov. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdfWhen a child lashes out, what if it isn’t defiance—but survival? In this powerful TEDx talk, veteran educator David explores how children’s “misbehavior” often hides a single question: Am I safe with you? Drawing on neuroscience and decades of experience, he introduces the CALM method—Center, Affirm, Lead, Meet—as a roadmap for connection instead of control. His message is clear: when adults choose calm over chaos, we don’t just change behavior—we transform lives. If you’d like to contact Dr. David A. Palmer directly, please visit www.drdavidapalmer.comDr. David A. Palmer, Ed.D., is an educator with over 30 years of experience in classroom and school administration, as well as the father of six adopted neurodivergent children. Through his trauma-informed, nervous-system-centered approach, he empowers overwhelmed parents and teachers to shift from compliance to connection, transforming the way we respond to fostering emotional regulation and resilience in children and teens.

- 8:38Hedging: The language tool that can change your life | Alice Ashcroft | TEDxScarisbrickIn this talk, researcher and writer, Dr Alice Ashcroft, explores how the subtle language pattern of "hedging" (those small words like "I think," "maybe," and "sort of") shapes our professional and personal lives in ways we rarely notice. Drawing from her research in gendered language and technology, she reveals how hedging isn't linguistic filler but a tool that reflects power dynamics, gender expectations, and the double bind many women face: speak directly and face social penalties, or hedge and undermine your own authority. Through examples from software design meetings to childhood memories, she demonstrates how understanding hedging can transform it from an unconscious habit into a strategic choice.Rather than advocating for the elimination of hedging language, Dr Alice Ashcroft, reframes it as a skill to be refined and deployed intentionally. She introduces practical tools like "The Button Example" and "The Power of Why" to help audiences recognise when hedging serves them and when it doesn't. The talk challenges conventional wisdom about confident communication, arguing that mastering intentional hedging isn't about speaking more like men or removing uncertainty from our language, it's about making conscious choices about how we use language to navigate systems that weren't designed with everyone's voices in mind. The result is a fresh perspective on communication that empowers people to maintain their authentic voices while claiming the space and authority they deserve.Dr Alice Ashcroft is a researcher and consultant who analyses the impact of identity and gendered language in software design and technology use. Alice has been published in peer-reviewed academic publications, and her PhD, titled “Design, Innovation and Software: The Impact of Gender and Language”, focused on how gender affects communication and teamwork in software design and innovation workshops. Their work highlights the need for more inclusive practices that give everyone a voice, helping to improve creativity and collaboration in the design process.This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
