- 23:40THE MILK OF HUMAN KINDNESS | Thúy Vân | TEDxHCMUSVolunteering has been a familiar topic for a long time, but its meanings are diverse. When it comes to this issue, some people hold the belief that volunteering is just for the rich or we can not help someone/something forever; therefore, we should not do it. However, reality shows us the fact that more and more people share a great deal of interest in society, especially the young generations. Thousands of long-term or short-term projects have been operated and maintained continuously with great spirit by the youth. What makes them desire to do that and even if their devotion can last long - are two big questions for doing charity. Thuy Van is a beauty queen and also a warmhearted queen, who inspires society through her pure kindness. She has been the ambassador for various volunteer projects and a founder of her project - Inspired by SHE.

- 14:41Nuestros niños fallan en Mate y Ciencia: ¡Guatemala al Top 10! | Juan José Asensio | TEDxLa AntiguaEsta charla profundamente personal revela cómo un descubrimiento en una aldea rural de Guatemala encendió una revolución educativa que hoy corre contrarreloj para transformar al país: de estar en los últimos lugares del mundo a aspirar al Top 10 global.Juan José comparte el viaje emocional que comenzó en Paxixil, donde vio a niños caminar kilómetros para asistir a una escuela atascada en un sistema de hace 200 años, diseñado para obreros de fábrica. De esa experiencia nació una tecnología que funciona sin internet ni electricidad.Verás imágenes sorprendentes de las escuelas más remotas de Guatemala, testimonios poderosos de estudiantes y datos que muestran transformaciones dramáticas: estudiantes ciegos programando dispositivos de navegación, niñas rurales creando soluciones para personas sordas, y comunidades enteras donde la asistencia escolar saltó del 45% al 100%.

Trabajó en el entro municipal de emprendimiento, una incubadora de negocios en la ciudad de Guatemala y en 2018 fundó 1bot inspirado en la necesidad latente por innovar el sistema educativo Guatemalteco.

- 17:30멈춤은 도망이 아니라 선택이다 | 솔 오 | TEDxYonseiUniversity모두가 꿈꾸는 대기업에 입사했지만, 오솔 작가는 과감히 그 길을 멈추고 어린 시절의 꿈이었던 만화가로 전향했습니다. 그의 인생은 ‘멈춤’에서 다시 시작되었고, 이제 그는 인스타툰 작가로서 많은 청년들에게 용기와 위로를 전하고 있습니다. 이 강연은 끊임없이 달려야 한다는 사회의 압박 속에서, ‘멈춤’이라는 선택이 결코 도망이 아님을, 오히려 진짜 나를 찾기 위한 시작점이 될 수 있음을 보여줍니다. 지금 당신에게도 잠깐의 멈춤이 필요한 순간이라면, 이 강연이 당신의 출발점이 될 것입니다. Although he joined a large company that everyone dreamed of, Osol boldly stopped his career and turned into a cartoonist that he dreamed of as a child. His life began again with "Stop," and now he is delivering courage and comfort to many young people as an instatoon writer. This lecture shows that the choice of "stop" is never a flight under the pressure of society to run constantly, but rather a starting point for finding who you really are. Now, if you need a little pause, this lecture will be your starting point. 2023.05~ 오솔스월드(@osolsworld) 인스타툰 연재 2024.10~ 메타코미디 소속 유튜브 크리에이터 작가 카카오톡, 문화체육관광부 등 유명 기업 및 정부와 협업 콘텐츠 협업 진행 YTN, 더피알 등 언론사 인터뷰 진행 MIT 경영 대학, ‘한국문화콘텐츠 산업 관련 연구(가제)’ 협업 진행 중 This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
