Progresso leva tempo: a luta além do tatame | Rafaela Silva | TEDxYouth@CidadeJardim
Da Cidade de Deus ao topo do pódio olímpico, Rafaela Silva mostra que determinação e coragem podem transformar qualquer realidade. Entre quedas, recomeços e vitórias, ela compartilha como o judô lhe ensinou a se levantar todas as vezes que o mundo tentou derrubá-la. Uma palestra inspiradora sobre superação, propósito e o poder de acreditar no próprio sonho. Rafaela Silva começou a praticar judô no Instituto Reação, ONG criada pelo ex-atleta Flávio Canto. A carioca traçou uma carreira promissora e, em 2008, foi campeã mundial sub-20.
Três anos mais tarde, já entre os adultos, foi prata no Mundial de Paris (França). Em Londres 2012, acabou desclassificada na segunda luta após aplicar um golpe ilegal na húngara Hedvig Karakas. O ano seguinte trouxe a consagração: a atleta escreveu seu nome na história do esporte brasileiro ao se tornar a primeira judoca campeã mundial de judô. Nos Jogos Olímpicos Rio 2016, conquistou a medalha de ouro em sua cidade-natal. Rafa se tornou campeã mundial no ano seguinte e conquistou o bicampeonato em 2022. Em Paris 2024, garantiu o bronze por equipe.
Rafa é uma atleta que continua se desafiando constantemente: depois de Paris mudou para categoria acima da sua (de 57kg para 63kg) e já conquistou o ouro em sua primeira disputa, no Troféu Brasil de Judô (nov/24) e agora vai para o Mundial em sua nova categoria.

- 6:39How Different Mindsets Determine Your Success | Madeleine Berthelemy | TEDxColegio Maya YouthWhy do two equally trained athletes perform so differently on game day? Madeleine shows how mindse, not just muscles, determines success, drawing on science from Carol Dweck and the wisdom of Novak Djokovic. She challenges us to leave fear behind and redefine success as growth, not perfection. Madeleine Berthelemy is a dedicated high school student who has a passion for playing tennis from a very young age. Through her journey as an athlete, she has recently been able to understand the power of mindset and how, in decisive, high-pressure moments, it determines the outcome and how everything goes. Her experiences and research have proven that approaching challenges with a growth mindset can make a significant difference in how and when true success is reached. Madeleine hopes to inspire others to reflect on their own mindset when facing challenges and wants them to recognize and understand how shifting their mindset towards positivity creates better outcomes.

- 4:57My Home Between Two Worlds | Samantha Fogelson | TEDxColegio Maya YouthWhat happens when one question makes you feel like you don’t belong anywhere? Samantha shares her journey of growing up between Peru, the U.S., and Guatemala, where stereotypes once shrank her identity. Her talk reveals how being “multicultural” isn’t about being divided; it’s about being multiplied. Samantha was born in Peru, has an American father, and lives in Guatemala, which makes the question “Where are you from?” hard to answer. Growing up between cultures, schools, and languages, she’s learned that home isn’t always one place it can be in many.
