Traditional Knowledge and Climate Resilience | Wenceslaus Mendes | TEDxPanaji
Knowledge resides in our environment and in the wisdom of our elders. Climate change threatens this valuable heritage, making its recovery and preservation essential for future generations. Wenceslaus Mendes is a filmmaker, artist, and independent researcher whose work spans journalism, theater, performance, and installation art. With training as a cinematographer and editor, he creates multimedia and immersive projects that have been exhibited globally. He collaborates with indigenous and tribal communities, focusing on issues of land, water, environment, sustainability, and climate change. Mendes documents oral cultures, practices, and ethno-technologies while also examining the politics of food, consumption, and knowledge-making. His research investigates race and caste in India, exploring themes of discrimination, purity, labor, and incarceration. Through what he calls "co-labor-abling," Mendes develops work collectively with communities, rooted in shared place, environment, and concerns.

- 14:20Cum ar fi dacă AI ne-ar face mai umani? | Cristian Mezei | TEDxUdvarhelyAI-ul nu este aici ca să ne înlocuiască, ci ca să ne amplifice. Folosită pasiv ne poate face mai superficiali, dar folosită activ ne eliberează timp, energie și spațiu mental. Atunci când o lăsăm să facă munca repetitivă, noi ne putem concentra pe ceea ce ne face cu adevărat umani: creativitate, conexiune, gândire critică și sens. În loc să întrebăm „ce ne va lua AI?”, poate ar trebui să ne întrebăm „ce ne poate oferi?”. Pentru că, dacă alegem colaborarea Om + AI, avem șansa să abordăm probleme pe care nu le-am putut rezolva singuri până acum. Iar asta poate fi începutul unei lumi mai inteligente și, în același timp, mai umane. He is an entrepreneur passionate about digital marketing and Artificial Intelligence, and in recent years, he has focused all his attention on how AI can revolutionize online business growth. He has experienced failures, tested numerous ineffective strategies, and learned what truly makes the difference between hype and real results.

- 17:34Mi lenne, ha mindenki tudatosan tájékozódna? | Szabolcs Dull | TEDxUdvarhelyHogyan ismerjük fel az álhíreket? Mi lenne, ha a rossz tájékozódás következményei is úgy látszanának rajtunk, mint a helytelen táplálkozás vagy a káros szokások nyomai? Hiszen, amit befogadunk, formálja a gondolkodásunkat és a világképünket, még ha kívülről nem is látszik rögtön. Dull Szabolcs újságíró és politikai elemző öt pontban foglalja össze, hogyan tájékozódhatunk tudatosabban: hogyan fogyasszunk híreket úgy, hogy ne csak informáltabbak legyünk, hanem okosabbak, érzékenyebbek és nyitottabbak is.

He teaches journalism at ELTE and provides media training for company executives. The goal behind all his activities is consistent: to support access to accurate information and promote conscious news consumption; to encourage a responsible understanding of public life, media, and politics; and to contribute to a deeper awareness of the processes shaping our world.
