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
