Change doesn’t always start with grand gestures; sometimes, it starts with a single conversation. Jamie Mark shows how speaking, sharing, and supporting one another can create ripples of hope in a community struggling with mental health stigma. Born and bred Gosport, moved away aged 18 for uni where he studied performing arts. Then adventured around the midlands working as a manager for a large chain of restaurants.
Through challenges you will learn today, Jamie gravitated back home to Gosport and has been back for seven years, working with vulnerable people.
Jamie is a keen mental health ambassador supporting others to talk through life’s difficulties.
Jamie Mark is the founder of Sean’s Safe Space, a grassroots mental health initiative in Gosport. Through his “Speak, Share, Support” mission, he’s creating safe environments where people can talk openly about mental health without fear or stigma. At TEDxGosport, Jamie shared how starting small can create a ripple effect of change.

- 11:00Why Learn Latin? | Ryan Kwak | TEDxHAFS YouthLatin is not dead; it is eternal. In fact, we use Latin words every day. Our numbers come from Latin, and some phrases, such as 'Cogito Ergo Sum,' are actually Latin. As you can see, Latin is close to us, and learning it can benefit us in many ways. Ryan Kwak explains why we should learn Latin. Ryan is a student studying Economics at Hankuk Academy of Foreign Studies. Throughout his life, he has loved economics and languages. He studied Spanish for a long time, and as a Catholic, I eventually became interested in the Latin language. Latin language changed his mindset when handling problems and helped him dream of a life aiding people in need using languages. That's where my interdisciplinarity came out, integrating Latin and Economics. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
