Soñé con mejorar el mundo a través de la cultura | Paloma Rodrigo | TEDxUDeusto


we are here to talk about change

every process of change begins with a

I dream the dream of imagining a future

best

to create something new or just

improve something that already exists because without

dreams the future would not exist and I am

very young is true but there is something that

I am very clear and I am not going to leave

of dreaming the first dream that I remember

is that I wanted to be like Cinderella

it seemed the most is waiting for what

wonderful prince came footage

without and glass slipper and with her my

future

my mother was happy, everything was happening

the day sweeping but good very little

I knew about the way

then it seems much better to be

someone like the cndh also strong

brave fighter when we are children

dreams do not come from stories

movies things we see is very

curious how we can see everything so

clear and suddenly it goes there are times that

dreams come to us inherited from

our parents of ambitions that

they had them young and that we

move to us

others we borrow from our

friends

influenced by the career that we come

to study but then as I say

disappear and that also happened to me

the dance by my side came to me as a hobby

bound and little by little without realizing

he was taking over my life

then I thought about the university no longer

I had as much time as I had before

new responsibilities more things

important to do that pass the

time dancing and my family pushed me

to leave it behind or not devote so much

time what they did not realize was that

the dance is part of me and that

thanks to her she faces the race with

much more enthusiasm I concentrated

more they even get better grades

so do not leave it

what the race was not all bad and

is now I could think if I liked

both something like dance because I did not

nothing to dedicate myself to it and that ‘s what

that happened to me the last year of

career and study here in the

deusto University and does with a

very clear goal to be a great

professional of the world of marketing

works in a multinational and that was

of mass consumption and along those

four years

everything I did went to

get it because that was my dream is

now my passion and went for it and without

barely notice

began to resurface crazy ideas that

I thought I had left behind ago

years and it was being erasmus a

experience that I recommend to all

the mess knows me a teacher

bright called luyk and he inspired me

he pushed me to get out of the way

with had marked and made me discover

a perfect combination between

marketing

that was what I wanted to dedicate myself and

Dance

my passion until that moment I never

had proposed to work in the sector

cultural and suddenly I saw it very clear

and I asked myself if this is really what

what do I want to do but then we give it

term and the crazy ideas that were born

in lion were left behind and after

post- erasmus depression

I redirected my path to the

large multinational marketing

consumption

but suddenly things happen that

we thought that we would never get that

kind of experiences that we think that

they just happen to others

I lost my father and with a person

so important it stops being in your life

overnight separates us

there seems no way to follow and

they take away all the desire to fight but

It is also in those moments when you

realize that there is only one life

the way is for dreaming and it’s there

when everything changed for me

I imagined selling deodorants

designing large campaigns

communication so you buy more

T-shirts or more furniture or feed for

dogs

It was everything I had always wanted

do and suddenly stopped having

sense

I felt empty

I thought what kind of impact I am

generating value is contributing to the

society did not recognize me that was not me

and that was not going to be my dream and

precisely at that moment

I met a crazy man like me and once again

it was a teacher who inspired me the

last day of class

It’s time to talk about a new concept of

company the fourth sector a company that

instead of seeking to maximize the

shareholder benefit seeks

maximize social impact spoke to us

of the projects you are putting in

marched because he had an idea he believed

that art and culture could

change the world and had a dream

I imagine thousands of artists acting

same day to create a partnership

different from hearing this my eyes

my friends began to shine

they looked they start to paint day this

is what you want to do

talk to him and I did that when they passed

the exams or did not want to think

that he was doing the ball

I sent an email saying two things

first throwing the quarrel for having

delayed so much in talking to us those

projects and the second asking him to

we saw each other to talk more about

they told me about a different festival

something that had never happened before

he told me that he wanted to provoke the greatest

cultural mobilization of the world with

Social impact

I needed to know more the next

Once we saw each other, it was his office

I imagined a large reception

a wide space full of tables even

a small a small kitchen for

drink coffee on the trip breaks and I

I found four tables misplaced

four people behind their

laptops and already with a coffee

I gave my teacher I think about everything very

black

He told me he was all for making

it was an uncertain project

even titanic and I did not know if I was going

if possible but he will give everything

to make it come true and you wanted

surround yourself with the best to get it out

ahead

said this better than I went home what

do with my parents with my friends that

I was going on a trip to think about everything

well and if I still had the same

idea in the head the return that you

call me so I ‘m talk to everyone

I went back to mess that was where the

spark and I thought everything very well between

all the pros and cons what my mother

I wanted for myself what I had

dear and I thought what the hell what to do

with my life

and sometimes it is much easier to choose the

easy way to do the right thing but I

20 years after the end of the

career I decided it was time to

break up so I called him I jumped at the

pool and I told him that I wanted to climb

to the boat and that’s how it worked

tordellego my life a project in which

moved they had warned

everything was done visualized sheet

in white

that’s what I found when

I got to work the first day not

we had ratios we did not have bosses

organizational structure had not

even a financial plan can not

forgive my teachers here present

but we had three things the first one

idea with incredible potential

and already in the first days I realized

how important it is that a project

and an organization breathe and move

for a common project

we wanted society

needs a change and that was going to be given to

through art and culture

now we just had to show the

The second thing is the desire to

eat the world

or what they call the academic world the

motivation when you start already

warn that it is complicated that all

principles are very difficult and how much

reason they had the noes we fell for

All the sides we already do and you

I’ll call you never called in that

situation the only thing that you have left is

keep going for many faces that

see in my case my mother my friends who

ifrán there with what he promised

girl what do you have left and what

third are people full people

of ideas daring people capable of

take this unconsciousness forward

we are young people and the truth

is that we have very little experience but

we feel very capable of doing it and

with this combination of three things

Sikhs began to fall, you take them away

of course I can do and little to

little we were creating a model model

different a model that was born in that they are

ambitious to change the world and that in

November a month in which they predominate

purchases at the first sales

winks at Christmas we invented a

day we wanted to celebrate the biggest party

of art and culture and that that party

serve to generate a social impact

and that’s fake bull and a festival

cultural that is celebrated every last

Saturday of November to build a

better world

we firmly believe that the

culture by the yes

in fact there would be an impact

social but to make it visible in

fersa bull and all the artists that

they participate they dedicate part of the value

generated in solved to a project

social they choose for themselves

recognize reward and disseminate the work

that hundreds of social projects

they perform every day to build a

better world

we are just one of the thousand

initiatives that are working for

this but we are leading a

initiative of change he arises from the

civil society participation

citizen

we are promoting a humanistic approach

something so necessary today and on

we are all putting in value the

culture is something very mistreated something that

we always leave in the background and

that is not important is essential

on a personal level the saturday has

served to go from being a

university with the backpack loaded with

nerves fears and insecurities

Become an entrepreneur

I’m creating something from scratch by doing

something that I love that moves me

facing many challenges for the

that most of the time I do not

I feel capable but if I learn a thousand and one

things and the road is deserving of

sorry for me that’s successes as I said

I am very young and I hope to use it more

time but I know I can not give

life tips but I want to share

with you that you have learned I

seen that many times we despise

our dreams we do not give importance

we let them die in oblivion perhaps

because they push us to leave behind the

own environment conditions it because as

-he said- we do not believe in them but I think

that we need to surround ourselves with people

that give us perspective and that we

do see things differently because

it’s true that we can not be all the

day in a cloud but I also think that

we need people nearby that we

incomoden

stabilize and make us believe in

our follies and I invite you to

independently your age in the

moment in which it is and 6

look for what it is that makes us vibrate

and ask what he wants to be

higher

because no matter how old you are

tomorrow it is improvised to be older

that today is never late

that’s true but that ‘s the best

moment is now and I precisely for

that and because we are going to spend a lot

hours in our life working I think

that it is better to get the most out of

them and that’s why I decided to live for

work eight hours enjoy another eight

and sleep another eight

I have decided to be a nonconformist

take my chances and do what I thought

I liked it and at the moment it ‘s something that

is making happy and that I am already

doing everything possible to change the

world

I’m putting sand sheets for

build the future with which I dreamed

maybe you have noticed us but

both right armrest has been left

two sand areas for you to do and

put ours

Thank you

[Applause]
