Rompere barriere e costruire rampe | Sebastiano Rizzardi & Damiano Marini | TEDxPiazzola sul Brenta
Un racconto corale di come i Talents, un gruppo di giovani autistici, ha trasformato passioni personali in progetti sociali e professionali, grazie a fiducia, creatività e connessioni. Sebastiano e Damiano dopo aver visto la passione nei loro occhi, non potevano che supportare nella comunicazione e far crescere consapevolezza in tutta Italia. Dai Lego alle scuole, dall’arte allo sport, fino al lavoro vero: una storia di inclusione che mostra come le fragilità possano diventare ponti verso gli altri. 46 anni, laurea in legge, editore, dopo un decennio nella comunicazione politica fra Venezia, Roma e Bruxelles, nel 2019 è entrato nel mondo della cooperazione sociale. Coordina il progetto dei Talents, cinque giovani autistici che gli hanno “tolto” la vita ma in realtà – come ogni incontro autentico – gliel’hanno trasformata. Con loro frequenta il principio “nessuna omissione di cultura”: arte, letteratura, filosofia e pensiero possono liberare inclusione e talentiDamiano Marini, 42 anni, ingegnere elettrotecnico, ha trasformato un incidente stradale che gli ha compromesso l'uso delle gambe in un'occasione per reinventarsi. È diventato un atleta di successo, conquistando il titolo di Campione Italiano di Handbike nel 2023 e di paratriathlon nel 2024. Oltre a essere un appassionato viaggiatore, sciatore e apicoltore, Damiano dedica la sua vita a ispirare gli altri: condivide la sua storia nelle scuole e con i tirocinanti di fisioterapia, ha scritto un romanzo di successo e si è impegnato a promuovere il progetto "I Talents", un gruppo di ragazzi nello spettro autistico che costruiscono rampe con i Lego riciclati per abbattere le barriere architettoniche. Questo impegno lo ha portato a presentare il progetto persino al Senato della Repubblica Italiana.

- 12:04Decoding Neuroscience | Dr Arunabha Bhattacharjee | TEDxHimalayan International School YouthWhat if success is not only about what you do, but about who you become in the process? In this transformative talk, Dr. Arunabha Bhattacharjee reveals how neuroscience uncovers the hidden patterns shaping our identity. He explains how the brain wires habits, beliefs, and self-concepts—and how these patterns can be consciously rewired through neuroplasticity. More than motivation, this is measurable biology. With clarity and insight, Dr. Bhattacharjee shows why learning is not just about acquiring skills, but about transforming identity itself. This talk challenges us to pause, reflect, and ask the most important question: Who are you wired to become?
