このトークで何も気づけなかったら、あなたの「負け」です。そう語るのは、留学やインターンを通じて多様な経験を積んできた、慶應義塾高等学校3年生の三田啓介さん。彼が伝えるのは、「気づくこと」の大切さ。そして、ただ見る・聞くだけではなく、「どう気づくか」のコツです。気づきとは、知識と行動が結びついたときに初めて力になるもの。気づける人は、気づきをただの「運」ではなく「実力」によって掴み取っていきます。このトークでは、三田さん自身のリアルな体験を通して、未来を生きる自分たち、そしてその次の世代に向けた展望が語られます。他人の話として聞き流すのか、自分ごととして「気づく」のか。その選択が、あなたのこれからを左右するかもしれません。 塾高在学中にカナダ留学をするも、アジア人差別を経験。多くの大学の学長に熱い想いを綴ったメールを送るがほとんど無視をされて終わった。塾高生として、生徒会規約の改正を実施するが失敗。それを踏まえてMITのHACKプロジェクトを模倣し計画するものの、先生に事前にばれてしまい生徒係室行きに。これらの挑戦と挫折を糧に、将来は大学を創る事を目標にしている。 This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Ever find yourself curious about someone else’s choice of cereal? Why that brand over another? Is it on sale? A family favorite? The healthier option? Sure, these questions may seem nosy, but maybe that’s not such a bad thing. In this thought-provoking talk, Leonardo Williams, Mayor of Durham, NC, challenges the idea that nosiness is a flaw. Instead, he reframes it as a sign of curiosity, care, and community—a vital ingredient in building stronger, more connected communities that take action together. Mayor Leonardo Williams is a former teacher and school administrator. He was elected to Durham City Council in December 2021 and sworn in as Mayor December 2023. Mayor Williams is a proud graduate of North Carolina Central University, earning a Bachelors in Music Education and a Masters in Educational Leadership. While attending, Leo met his wife, Zweli, who are the proud parents of their son. Mayor Williams was recognized twice by Durham Public Schools as Teacher of the Year and by the Triangle Business Journal with a “40 Under 40” Award for producing innovative practices in education. He transitioned from full-time educator to full-time small business owner when he and his wife opened Zweli's, the first full-service authentic Zimbabwean restaurant in the United States. Mayor Williams continues to apply his experience and passion in education, entrepreneurship, and commitment to addressing deep social issues to make Durham, a united, safe, and prosperous community for all.
