Living in harmonious dissonance | Aarsh Pandey | TEDxGEMSInternationalSchool
In this inspiring TED Talk, the speaker reflects on the concept of "Harmonious Dissonance"—the idea that true growth and authenticity emerge not from perfect harmony, but from embracing life’s tensions and contradictions. Through personal stories, cultural insights, and a vivid musical metaphor, the talk reveals how differences and conflicts don’t cancel each other out but enrich and complete us. It encourages audiences to accept complexity, celebrate contradictions, and find genuine harmony amid life’s chaos and societal pressures. I always try to put my best foot forward when it comes to academics—not because I have to, but because I see education as a privilege, a chance to learn something new every single day. But there’s more to me than just academics. I’m an active participant in Model United Nations and especially enjoy the fast-paced energy of crisis committees. I also hold a black belt in karate and was proud to win the silver medal at the Asian Karate Championship in 2023. Music is another big part of my life—I’ve been playing classical guitar since 2024. When I’m not studying or training, you’ll probably find me on a long walk in nature, immersed in a game, or watching a good movie.

- 10:34A Amazônia não deve estar a serviço do capitalismo | Davi Pereira Junior | TEDxAmazôniaDavi Pereira Junior nos convida a repensar os conceitos de tecnologia e desenvolvimento, questionando um sistema que sacrifica a natureza e os povos tradicionais em nome de um progresso unilateral. Davi destaca a invisibilidade dos corpos negros na narrativa de proteção da floresta e defende a democratização das decisões, colocando os povos da Amazônia como os verdadeiros guardiões de seu território. A palestra é um chamado urgente para reconhecermos a floresta como um ser de direito, sagrado para seus povos, e a valorizar a perspectiva coletiva em vez de um progresso individualista. Davi Pereira Junior é um quilombola de Itamatatiua, em Alcântara (MA), cuja vida está intimamente vinculada com a luta pela terra de sua comunidade. Historiador, mestre em Antropologia e doutor em Latin American Studies, Davi dedica sua carreira acadêmica e ativista à defesa dos direitos dos povos e comunidades tradicionais, especialmente na Amazônia. Sua experiência como perito na Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos em favor dos quilombolas de Alcântara é um marco em sua trajetória e um exemplo de como o conhecimento acadêmico pode ser uma ferramenta poderosa para a luta por justiça social. Sua pesquisa tem sido fundamental para fortalecer as estratégias de luta das comunidades e garantir seus direitos territoriais.
