Quotes
Ferananda Ibarra: “Neither of you are going to go anywhere if we don’t fundamentally change one thing – the structure of money.”
Aksinya Staar: “A song reminds us we have rhythm, a poem sharpens our inner clarity, a painting reflects our inner world, and a reasonable word calls us back to civility and connection. These are not distractions from life – they are life. Without them, we drift into a hollow, reactive existence, devoid of reflection or imagination.”
Hardy Schloer: “The human brain links and processes huge amounts of data every second of every day. To do this, it uses neurons that learn, calculate, and communicate independently but are constantly interacting, creating intelligent information.
Mathijs van Zutphen: “Everything I do is about learning and creativity. Learning comes in two distinct flavors: learning what is already known, and learning what is not yet known (discovery and invention). I am all about the second kind of learning, where creativity and imagination are key.”
Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim: “For centuries, indigenous peoples have protected the environment, which provides them food, medicine and so much more. Now it’s time to protect their unique traditional knowledge that can bring concrete solution to implement sustainable development goals and fight climate change.”
