Traveling with purpose, impact, and intention | Dr. Daniel Grace | TEDxSwansea
Daniel explores how we can all travel with purpose, even in our daily lives. By approaching each interaction with curiosity, service, and reflection—whether at home or abroad—we can bring the mindset of meaningful exploration into the everyday. Dr. Daniel Grace shares his personal journey of purposeful travel—journeys that go far beyond sightseeing. Drawing from his work as an expedition doctor,"Daniel is a GP based in South Wales. With a keen interest in global health and expedition medicine, he has worked to provide medical cover all over the world, from the deserts of Jordan to the frozen Canadian arctic to remote islands in the West Pacific. He is proud to be the medical director for the UKs leading telemedicine charity, the Virtual Doctors, which connects remote healthcare workers in Zambia and Malawi with volunteer clinicians to improve patient access and empower rural communities. He enjoys empowering people of all ages to fulfil their potential in the outdoors and believes that adventure and travel can be harnessed not only to help us understand the challenges facing future generations, but also to explore our own sense of purpose.” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

- 15:47Action | 武史 野澤 | TEDxKeio High School元ラグビー日本代表で、現在は山川出版社に勤める野澤武史さんは、人材には「リアクション型」と「アクション型」があると語ります。指示を待ち、周囲の動きに応じて動くのがリアクション型。一方で、自ら課題に気づき、先んじて行動するのがアクション型で、かつての野澤さんは、失敗を恐れてリアクション型になってしまっていたと言います。けれど、ラグビーでの経験や、出版社での挑戦を通じて、野澤さんは今、アクション型であることの価値を実感しているそうです。彼がいま伝えたいのは、失敗を恐れて動かないことのリスク、そして、動くことで初めて開ける景色。その思いを、野澤さんはまっすぐに語ります。 1979年、東京都生まれ。 元ラグビー日本代表(代表キャップ4)。(株)山川出版社代表取締役社長。 慶應義塾大学時代では蹴球部で大学日本一に貢献し、4年時には主将を務める。その後、神戸製鋼コベルコスティーラーズに加入し、2003年トップリーグ制覇に貢献。 現役引退後は本業の傍ら、母校の高校・大学でヘッドコーチを務め、2013年より日本ラグビーフットボール協会でユース世代のコーチを歴任。またタレント発掘TIDマネージャーとして「Big man & Fast man camp」を立ち上げ人材発掘の裾野を広げた。 2020年、コロナ禍で苦戦する学生アスリートを支援する活動「#ラグビーを止めるな2020」をスタートし、さまざまな競技を巻き込んで2020年7月に発足した一般社団法人スポーツを止めるなでは朝日スポーツ賞受賞。グロービス経営大学院卒(MBA取得)。 This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

- 11:59対話 | 仁 柳井 | TEDxKeio High School「この人は、なぜそう考えるのだろう?」 その問い立て出発点に、対話はただの意見交換から、深い理解へと変わっていきます。慶應義塾湘南藤沢高等部5年生の柳井仁さんは、留学先での経験を通して、「内在的論理」という考え方の大切さに気づきました。それは、相手の背景や価値観、そしてものの見方を理解しようとする姿勢のこと。彼にそのきっかけを与えてくれたのは、ルームメイトの父との日々の対話でした。このトークでは、あまりに近いがゆえに、国の内側について意見を交わす一一時にぶつかり合いながらも、相手の言葉の奥にある「なぜ」をとらえることで見えてきた、世界との向き合い方が語られます。柳井さん自身の体験を通じて、対話の奥行きと、その可能性にふれることで、他者と「違う」ことに、どう向き合うか。彼のまなざしが、それを学ぶ機会になるでしょう。 慶應義塾湘南藤沢高等部2年在学中。慶應義塾一貫教育校派遣制度にて米国へ1年間留学。帰国後英国へ短期留学。電子工学研究会に所属。第25回ショパン国際ピアノコンクールin ASIA アジア大会金賞。英国等の国際コンクールで最優秀賞。フラッグフットボールでは昨年全国優勝。 This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

- 18:10Why are we so obsessed with true crime media? | Natacha Harding | TEDxWinchesterWhat does “true crime” really mean? In this powerful talk, a legal educator and crime writer unpacks how our obsession with crime stories—from podcasts to documentaries—shapes our understanding of justice, truth, and harm. Natacha draws on her experience in law, storytelling, and education, challenges us to question whose truth we’re consuming, and what we’re leaving out.This talk is a call to look beyond stereotypes, reflect on the systems we trust, and explore crime stories with deeper empathy, curiosity, and care—for the sake of both truth and those whose lives are shaped by it.Natacha Harding currently teaches and researches topics around miscarriages of justice, victim-survivor politics and narratives; and crime fiction. Having been a lifelong consumer of crime fiction, Natacha has long been an advocate for the role of storytelling in criminal justice (in its many forms), leading to the talk she is giving this year. Myth busting and challenging preconceived notions of experience of criminal harm in true crime and crime fiction stories is at the centre of her most recent projects.This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
