Degree impress but knowledge is endless | Jaspreet Kaur | TEDxASBM University
In this thought-provoking talk, Jaspreet Kaur challenges conventional ideas about education and success. Drawing from personal insights, everyday humor, and real-life examples, she highlights that while degrees open doors, true learning comes from perseverance, adaptability, and the ability to learn from everyone and everything around us. With powerful analogies and stories, she emphasizes that humans are limitless—we can reinvent ourselves, unlearn, and grow at every stage. The message is simple yet profound: success is personal, learning is lifelong, and we hold the power to shape our own journey. An educationist and filmmaker, she serves as Director educational conglomerates and is the founder of a dynamic production house that creates films, documentaries, interactive television, and digital content. A Computer Science Engineer and VFX & Animation expert, she nurtured her passion for storytelling by pursuing filmmaking at the prestigious Vancouver Film School, Canada.
With a progressive leadership style, she focuses on empowering educators, fostering student-centric initiatives, and driving innovation across academic and medical institutions, positioning the Group as a hub of creativity, opportunity, and growth. As an educationist, she is deeply committed to creating environments where learning is engaging, inclusive, and future-ready.

- 8:28La bussola della curiosità: trasformare passioni in direzioni | Andrea Gallo | TEDxBellagioCosa rispondere a un ragazzo con tante ambizioni e uno spazio troppo ristretto per esprimerle? C’è chi ha la convinzione che il percorso debba essere chiaro fin dal principio. Ma forse è vero il contrario. In questo talk, Andrea Gallo — direttore creativo di Sugo Design e docente di video allo IED — racconta la propria strada dall’adolescenza fino al suo attuale ruolo, mostrandoci come la curiosità e la passione possano diventare una bussola quando non sappiamo che direzione prendere. Perché camminare con fiducia conta più che conoscere la meta. Nato a Como nel 1981, è regista, direttore creativo e co-fondatore di Sugo Design, studio specializzato in video, live visual e motion graphics. Negli ultimi dieci anni ha ridefinito il linguaggio visivo della scena musicale italiana e internazionale, collaborando con artisti come David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Marco Mengoni, Sfera Ebbasta e Max Pezzali. Il suo stile, fatto di immagini iconiche, humor ed eccentricità, ha influenzato l’estetica pop, trap e dance. Pioniere nell’uso dell’intelligenza artificiale generativa applicata al visual, l’ha integrata stabilmente nei processi creativi dello studio. È anche docente di Digital Video all’Istituto Europeo di Design, dove da oltre dieci anni trasmette la sua esperienza a giovani creativi.
