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.

TALK: Predator Tenderness. Meetings with whales.
We will tell about our experience of direct communication with whales, first of all, with sperm whales, which are the largest predators on the planet. At the same time its almost the most mysterious creatures with amazing abilities, about which it is still extremely little known. They possess the largest and the most highly organized brain (20 kg) and the most gigantic heart (cubic meter in volume). Several years of expeditions to the family of sperm whales have completely changed the scale of our perception of the universe and intelligent life. We will show unique photo and video materials, which have not been published yet.
Anthropologists, founders of the Dolphin Embassy, leaders of lots of international expeditions, including round-the-world project «The 30th Parallel Project – The Archaeology of Possibilities», organizers of The Dolphinity World Festival, authors «Generator of Possibilities», «Dolphin Principle», «Plan A» and film directors of «My Pilot, the Whale» and «Intraterrestrial.

The only barrier to learning a language is memory. — The process of language learning is the process of forming memories. Nothing more, nothing less. If you understand that, and you understand how memories are formed, then you can make progress in a way youve never dreamed possible before. Gabriel Wyner is an author, opera singer and polyglot based in Chicago. After reaching fluency in German in 14 weeks with the help of the immersive Middlebury Language Schools, he fell in love with the process of language learning, going on to spend two months in intensive Italian courses in Perugia, Italy. Searching for ways to bring the immersion experience into the home, he began to develop a system that rapidly builds fluency in short, daily sessions. In 2010, his efforts paid off. He learned French to fluency in 5 months, and then Russian in 10 months.

Born in Los Angeles, he graduated summa cum laude in 2007 from the University of Southern California with dual degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Vocal Arts Performance, and was awarded the Renaissance Scholar’s prize for excellence in unrelated disciplines. He then moved to Vienna to pursue triple Master’s degrees at the Konservatorium Wien in Opera, Lieder and Voice, and graduated with honors in 2011.

Currently learning Japanese, hes learned Hungarian and Spanish over the last few years. His book on language learning – Fluent Forever: How to learn any language fast and never forget it – was published on August 5, 2014 (Harmony/Random House). His most recent project has been the development of a new language learning tool, which became the most successful Kickstarter for an app in history in September of 2017.

Многие идут в благотворительность, чтобы услышать “спасибо!” или получить какие-то позитивные эмоции. Но что, если вместо слов благодарности люди, которым вы помогаете, попытаются вас обмануть, унизить или ограбить? Как после этого найти в себе силы продолжать делать добрые дела? А главное, как ответить себе на вопрос — “Зачем я это делаю?”.

В своем выступлении на TEDxSadovoeRing Виктория Валикова рассказывает о том, что помогает ей не сойти с выбранного пути и почему так важно продолжать помогать людям не разделяя их на “плохих” и “хороших”.
