‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣In a talk that's part history lesson, part love letter to graphics, information designer Tommy McCall traces the centuries-long evolution of charts and diagrams -- and shows how complex data can be sculpted into beautiful shapes. \"Graphics that help us think faster, or see a book's worth of information on a single page, are the key to unlocking new discoveries,\" McCall says.

👁Why I have coffee with people who send me hate mail
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Özlem Cekic's email inbox has been full of hate mail since 2007, when she won a seat in the Danish Parliament -- becoming the first female Muslim to do so. At first she just deleted the emails, dismissing them as the work of fanatics, until one day a friend made an unexpected suggestion: to reach out to the hate mail writers and invite them to meet for coffee. Hundreds of \"dialogue coffee\" meetings later, Cekic shares how face-to-face conversation can be one of the most powerful forces to disarm hate -- and challenges us all to engage with people we disagree with.

‌

👣\"We are living in a world that is tantalizingly close to ensuring that no one need die of hunger or malaria or diarrhea,\" says economist Michael Green.

👁How kids can help design cities
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English

👣Adults tend to think of kids as \"future citizens\" -- their ideas and opinions will matter someday, just not today. But kids make up a quarter of the population, so shouldn't they have a say in what the world they'll inherit will look like? Urban planner Mara Mintzer shares what happened when she and her team asked kids to help design a park in Boulder, Colorado -- and how it revealed an important blind spot in how we construct the built environment. \"If we aren't including children in our planning, who else aren't we including?\" Mintzer asks.
