"Как сделать мир лучше? Руководство для чайников" | Камила Роллан | TEDxShahterovAve


Работая волонтером в Обществе Красного Полумесяца, Камила организовывала для детей с особыми потребностями развлекательные представления. Однажды, после выступления, она решила снять костюм клоуна и поговорить с их матерями, и обнаружила, что будучи изолированными от общества, они лишаются многих возможностей, которые мы, зачастую, принимаем как должное.
Так возникла идея — обучать детей с особыми потребностями и с инвалидностью вместе с обычными детьми, давая всем равные возможности общения, творческого и эмоционального развития.
В своем выступлении Камила делится руководством как сумела открыть первый в Казахстане центр инклюзивного образования и, тем самым способствовала решению проблемы. Камила — специалист и активист по продвиженю иклюзии и защиты прав ребенка. Она является основателем центра инклюзивного образования “Education For All”, нацеленного на расширение доступа детей и молодежи с особыми потребностями к обучению и трудоустройству. В 2018 году она вошла в список Форбс «30 моложе 30», а ее проект был признан лучшим по мнению Британского Совета, компаний Шеврон и ПрайсуотерхаусКуперс.

How to cope with anxiety | Olivia Remes | TEDxUHasselt


Anxiety is one of most prevalent mental health disorders, with 1 out of 14 people around the world being likely affected. Leading up to conditions such as depression, increased risk for suicide, disability and requirement of high health services, very few people who often need treatment actually receive it. In her talk “How to cope with anxiety”, Olivia Remes of the University of Cambridge will share her vision on anxiety and will unravel ways to treat and manage this health disorder. Arguing that treatments such as psychotherapy and medication exist and often result in poor outcome and high rates of relapses, she will emphasise the importance of harnessing strength in ourselves as we modify our problem-coping mechanisms. Olivia will stress that by allowing ourselves to believe that what happens in life is comprehensive, meaningful, and manageable, one can significantly improve their risk of developing anxiety disorders.

The secret to self control | Jonathan Bricker | TEDxRainier


Jonathan Brickers work has uncovered a scientifically sound approach to behavior change that is twice as effective as most currently practiced methods. His new methods are driving new norms and new apps for how people quit smoking and decrease obesity, saving many people from an early death.

Jonathan Bricker is an internationally recognized scientific leader in a bold approach called acceptance and commitment therapy. A Stanford researcher called his use of the approach “a breakthrough in behavioral research [that] has major public health implications for the major causes of preventable death.” Bricker and his team, having received $10 million in total federal research grants to study this topic, are rigorously testing this intervention on multiple platforms, including smartphone apps, websites, and telephone coaching. His SmartQuit app for quitting smoking was recently launched and is now in distribution worldwide.
