PERFORMING MEANS CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE | Bogdan Moldovan | TEDxTractorul
The speaker's journey into medicine, initially driven by a pragmatic desire to provide a better life for his parents in post-Communist Romania, evolved into a quest to become an expert liver and oncology surgeon. His competitive mentality—honed through volleyball and academic rivalries—was fundamentally tempered by a personal experience with his father's oncology treatment, which instilled in him a deep, innate sense of empathy for patients. Bogdan Moldovan is a discreet yet visionary leader in Romanian medicine. A specialist in general surgery and renal transplantation, he built a center of excellence in Brașov with international partners like Prof. Gilles Mentha, placing Romania on Europe’s transplant map. A UMF Târgu Mureș graduate with training in France and Switzerland, he returned home to prove top medical standards can thrive beyond university hubs. Leading the Renal Transplant Center, he bridges the public system with modern innovation. Known for combining surgical skill with empathy, he listens, explains, and reassures, restoring the doctor-patient relationship as a foundation of healing. Modest and rigorous, he trains new generations and drives change in a system resistant to it. ? His belief: medicine is not just about organs—it’s about people, teams, and trust.

- 16:42Scegli di essere | Omar Conti | TEDxSassuoloOmar Conti, il “pianista sul Maggiolone”, ci guiderà in un viaggio verso una vita più consapevole: attraverso la meditazione e le sue musiche, impariamo a scegliere dove porre la nostra attenzione. Sfuggiamo agli automatismi dettati dal consumismo e dai modelli sociali, per vivere con presenza, libertà e autenticità. "È conosciuto come il pianista sul Maggiolone: un’anima errante che ha scelto la libertà al posto di una carriera convenzionale. La svolta arriva quando la nonna gli regala un Maggiolone rosso del ’73, che trasforma in casa e palco viaggiante. Attraverso borghi, scuole e montagne porta musica neoclassica e domande scomode ma necessarie: “Ma voi, siete felici?”. Invita a rallentare, a riscoprire la cura e la bellezza nascosta nella semplicità.

- 14:21Diario di una Prof Cosa mi insegna insegnare | Silvia Demozzi | TEDxSassuoloInsegnare non è riempire vasi, ma accendere fuochi. È stare nel rischio dell’incontro, dove la meraviglia diventa sapere e la relazione genera senso.
