The ABCD of Resilience: The Unshaken Voice of the East | Saiyam Mazumder | TEDxAssam University
Title: "Resilience, to me, is the foundation on which Assam, the vibrant voice of the East, stands tall amidst challenges and changes. It is not just about enduring hardships but thriving through them with purpose and strength. I define resilience as ABCD — Acceptance, Balance, Confidence, and Diligence.Acceptance is the first step, where one acknowledges reality without resistance, embracing both the struggles and the possibilities that come with it. Assam, with its rich cultural diversity and natural beauty, accepts its unique challenges while cherishing its roots.Balance is essential to maintain harmony between tradition and modernity, between growth and sustainability. Assam’s people have always balanced their connection to nature with progressive ambitions, fostering a society that nurtures both the environment and development.Confidence empowers individuals and communities to believe in their abilities and potential. Assam’s youth, entrepreneurs, and leaders embody this confidence as they pioneer innovative ideas and initiatives to transform the region.Diligence is the persistent effort that turns dreams into reality. It reflects the hard work and determination of Assam’s people, who tirelessly work to uplift their communities and preserve their heritage.Together, these four pillars Acceptance, Balance, Confidence, and Diligence form the resilient spirit of Assam. This spirit is not only the voice of the East but also an inspiring example of how resilience can pave the way for a brighter and stronger future. Saiyam Mazumder is one of India’s youngest wildlife conservationists and the founder of Green Earth Guardians, a youth-led movement for environmental action.

Kilimanjaro, his story inspires youth to turn passion into purpose for a greener future.

- 15:45I soldi che hai in banca non sono i tuoi | Luca Boiardi | TEDxPolitecnico di TorinoIn questo intervento, Luca Boiardi, divulgatore e imprenditore, racconta un episodio semplice ma rivelatore: una giornata qualunque, alla cassa di un supermercato, la sua carta non funziona. Un piccolo evento che diventa il punto di partenza per una riflessione molto più ampia su come il nostro denaro sia fragile, controllato e, spesso, fuori dal nostro controllo.Luca ci porta poi dall’Italia all’Argentina, raccontando la storia di Alvaro, impiegato in banca che racconta come ogni persona in Argentina non potesse prelevare più di una piccola cifra giornaliera, bloccati da regolamenti imposti per evitare il collasso bancario del paese.Da questi episodi personali e globali emerge una domanda: il denaro che usiamo ogni giorno, è davvero nostro?È qui che entra in scena Bitcoin: uno strumento con regole semplici, trasparenti e uguali per tutti. Una rete che non dipende da governi o banche, pensata per proteggere il valore e la libertà delle persone in tempi di crisi improvvise. Founder of The Gateway Group, an Italian corporate group that includes, in addition to the educational brand The Crypto Gateway, various initiatives aimed at fostering a responsible approach to crypto and promoting its development and adoption. Within the group, notable projects include the bitcoin cashback platform Bitcashback, the tax reporting software Tatax, and the personal finance budgeting and tracking app Finhub.

- 14:41Pizza z ananasem czy politycy nie odpowiadający na pytania? | Radomir Wit | TEDxKozminski UniversityZ humorem i ironią, ale też z dużą dawką refleksji, prelekcja porusza temat jakości debaty publicznej i odpowiedzialności osób pełniących funkcje publiczne. Prelegent analizuje zjawisko unikania odpowiedzi, PR-owych wykrętów i erozji zaufania społecznego.Podkreśla, że na politykach spoczywa szczególna odpowiedzialność nie tylko za decyzje, które podejmują, ale również za sposób, w jaki komunikują się z obywatelami. Bo demokracja zaczyna się od odpowiedzialnych pytań i odważnych odpowiedzi. Dziennikarz polityczny, od 2016 roku związany z TVN24. Korespondent sejmowy, autor i prowadzący programu #BezKitu, a także cyklu „Sejm Wita” na platformie TVN24+. Pierwsze polityczne rozmowy przeprowadzał jako licealista w Akademickim Radiu LUZ 91.6 FM we Wrocławiu. Po drodze zajmował się kulturą, muzyką i rozrywką, między innymi w Radiu Traffic, Radiu ZET, TVP2 i Polskim Radiu. Później zrozumiał, że polityka jest jednak ciekawsza niż nawet najlepsze piosenki z listy 500 utworów wszech czasów magazynu „Rolling Stone”. I tak od 2015 r. zajmuje się śledzeniem i relacjonowaniem polskiego życia politycznego. W 2023 wydał książkę „Sejm Wita. Czyli czego nie mówią wam politycy?”, która podbiła listy bestsellerów, w 2024 roku książkę „Negocjatorzy policyjni. Zawsze chodzi o życie” oraz książkę dla młodszych czytelników „Sejm Wita WSZYSTKICH”.
