Globalization and local Action – Globalization y Acción Local | Sebastian Flores | TEDxQuito


how many creatures that are said

we have reached the highest degree in the

evolutionary scale

we call this big ball the water and

home earth

the population statistics speak

of around 7,000 million in the

present and project more than 10 thousand

for the year 2050 but today I do not want

stay only in statistics

today I want to go beyond what

quantitative and reach something if less

tedious and less square and that

definitely be more embarrassing and

shake wherever we hide

our conscience inspiring us to

start acting then ask us

who and how many of us inhabit the world

falls short of what today

we need to know urgently

I think the key to deciphering

everything around us is in

discover and learn and experience

from and with the realities the

Realities

I define it as a vast universe of

small worlds sometimes interconnected

and sometimes just stacked in a

same time and space

if more and more touch but with each time

less tact towards what surrounds it and if

definitely more and more viral but

where we have simply focused on

reproduce leaving aside our

wonderful ability to create and with

it the opportunity to understand what is

precisely in that diversity of worlds

where our greatest wealth is already

while also left more than one

opportunity to dare to

venture into another vision and explode

everything that until now was considered

a

problem that is fought and eliminated

like everything that scares us and this

make way for a more society

conscious a more prepared society and

finally a society in action

now if I know that you should be

asking but it is real what we

speaks sebastián and if this is real

how can we take this step

to make a difference

well today I want to share a

concept and a way of life

conglomerate in a word composed of

which I’m sure the real academy of

the language would not feel very proud

but that are practical and so powerful

so that they never forget it and they

soak in it I mean the

globalization that is nothing else but

taking a global action like

response to global situations

yes that simple and is that this action

global invades each of the spaces

in which it unfolds in my life

both professional and personal

from my role as a young diplomat

participating in scenarios like the un

the oea and other platforms

international for the taking of

decision on youth

democracy human rights and development

sustainable as a speaker in

universities parliaments summits

communities today in a tedax scenario and

hey up on youtube but I also

allows to reach my greatest example of

globalization that is when the

entrepreneurship and innovation is

put together in the same team which I am

co-founder a team called with

speaker with speaker is a startup

technological and social formed by

young entrepreneurs

I tried

before seven countries of america

latina whose office is internet and whose

Impact has no limits

on the contrary every day it expands

more and more

thanks to the immensity of your goal

make this our world a place

more accessible and non – disabled of

what form

for example in the creation of a

virtual audio books platform

accessible which to date counts

with around 400 files in 18

languages ​​including indigenous languages

a database that will continue to grow

every day

precisely because of that spirit

collaborative and volunteer that today we

gather here to share ideas that

deserve to be disseminated or also in the

creation of product tools and

services from our different

professional spaces and

opportunities that we find in the

land to adapt physical spaces

like theaters universities schools

buildings and cities or virtual as

web pages mobile applications

video games and other content

multimedia

all this and definitely a lot but

much more because we believe in power

transformer of accessibility and that

is the accessibility the universality of

this term defines it as a

quality on which it is determined that

a space or an object either physical or

virtual has the characteristics

optimal for its use and use

by anyone without

distinction of its characteristics

physical mental or cognitive

but today I want to invite you to

let’s understand that accessibility

it means an opportunity to

know each other and build environments together

that favor

to development on equal terms

of all people

it’s not about including by not including

for nothing

it’s about enhancing everything that gives us

way that if there are 285 million

people with visual impairment and in the

world only one percent of all

books are available in format

accessible well

let’s transform the written letter into

words that bring education closer

your ears and we discover together new

capabilities that can not be communicated

with its surroundings

decreases the chances of

training and social development of

people with hearing impairment well

so

let’s open our minds and our hands

to new ways of communication or that

as it happens with other disabilities

people in wheelchairs do not

can move around buildings or

cities properly

friends is not just about

build a ramp or an elevator create

accessible environments opens the way for leaders

professional new client partners

friendships and relationships without a doubt that

anyone can say live my

world in my own way and in this process of

accessibility where we can all and

we must get involved from our

professional spaces from our

daily activities

Believe me is in our attitude

to be able to make a difference like me

I always say there is no way for

accessibility accessibility is the

path

that is to undertake global action with

impact daring to walk

Realities

from another vision ah yes it’s true it’s

true

talking about vision I have

visual disability

[Applause]
