Тамара Эйдельман больше 30 лет преподает в московских школах и за свою жизнь была свидетелем и участником множества конфликтных ситуаций. Ученики издеваются над учителями, учителя выстраивают авторитарный режим, пресекая любое неповиновение, родители мечутся между теми и другими — это словно война всех против всех. И мы к ней, кажется, уже привыкли.

Но Тамара Натановна уверена, что в школе не должно быть места агрессии, издевательствам и унижениям, потому что школа — это не поле для битвы.
Тамара Эйдельман — потомственный историк, уникальный педагог, рассказчик и путешественник. Заслуженный учитель России. Больше 30 лет Тамара Натановна преподает историю в московских школах.

ТЕМА: «Хищник Нежность. Встречи с китами»
Мы расскажем о нашем опыте непосредственного общения с китами, прежде всего — с кашалотами, которые являются самыми крупными хищниками на планете. Одновременно — это едва ли не самые загадочные существа с удивительными способностями, о которых до сих пор крайне мало известно. Они обладатели самого большого и высокоорганизованного в природе мозга (20 кг) и самого гигантского сердца (кубический метр в объеме). Несколько лет экспедиций к семейству кашалотов целиком меняют масштаб нашего восприятия вселенной и разумной жизни. Мы покажем уникальные фото- и видеоматериалы, до сих пор не публиковавшиеся.

At different points in time, we have all found ourselves stuck in a situation we’re unable to get out of. Some people emerge victoriously and exemplifying this victory we have Mr. Farhat Ali Khan. Now a successful writer, but he was not an easy path. His ability to find inspiration in the little things in life which would blend into the background by the normal eye gave him the kickstart.
Even with his knack for poetry, it didn’t come to him in the first go. It was only after the loss of his loved ones, that his pain bled through the paper to create poetry which went on to be a published book. But at no point did he look back, and slowly he had a grip on his life again, with a plethora of newer and bigger opportunities in front of him.
Just at the young age of 19, Mr. Farhat Ali Khan has successfully published his debut poetry book, “COLORS” and his latest book — “Midnight Hues” is Amazon’s #1 Best Selling Poetry Book. With lots of enthusiasm, Mr. Farhat Ali Khan brings in the required energy in the room and leaves people with thoughts colliding, forming something new, something magnificent!
An actor, author, theater artist, and writer, Farhat Ali Khan was born and brought up in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and now, hes further completing his studies in India from Jamia Millia Islamia.

His acting debut was in Doordarshan in 2015 for the serial, «Adhikar» and is a theatre actor. He has performed 3 plays including one at Jamia Hamdard for Jashn-e-Adab. Just at the young age of 19, he has successfully published his debut poetry book, “COLORS” and his latest book — “Midnight Hues” is Amazon’s #1 Best Selling Poetry Book! Even while pursuing his graduation, he has actively participated in societies like Enactus and represented his college at the National level. Being a strongly opinionated person, he has always been at the forefront and worked with organizations like UMEED NGO to bring light to issues of the underprivileged.

У Марата Садыкова родился сын с синдромом Дауна. В своем выступлении он признается, что сначала промелькнула мысль отказаться от ребенка, что он стеснялся его и ему было стыдно, что у него такой ребенок. Но в какой-то момент произошло переосмысление, и сейчас родители радуются успехам своего маленького чемпиона и учатся у него тому, что люди с ограниченными возможностями — это не они, а мы, и ограничения эти сидят в наших головах.
