11. veebruaril toimus Tartu Loodusmajas Arenguprogrammi II motivatsioonikonverents „Raskuste ületamine”. Päev koosnes erinevatest aruteludest organisatsioonides tekkivate raskuste ületamise teemal ning oma kogemusi jagasid Liisa-Ly Pakosta ja Erika Ilves.
Liisa-Ly Pakosta on soolise võrgõiguslikkuse ja võrdse kohtlemise volinik. Meile rääkis ta sellest, millised raskused võivad kerkida üles tulenevalt meie poolt muudetamatutest asjaoludest nagu sugu, vanus, rass jne. Toome teieni Liisa soovitused sellest, kuidas raskusi ületada.
Mida saab ise teha enda ja teiste aitamiseks?
- Keskendu eesmärkidele
- Ära unusta ligimisearmastust
- Tunne oma õigusi ja kohustusi
- Arvesta teistega
- Pea meeles: „Mitte kunagi pole muutused olnud nii kiired, nagu need on praegu. Mitte kunagi enam ei saa muutused olema nii aeglased, nagu need on praegu.”
- NB! Pöördumine voliniku poole on salajane (avaldus@volinik.ee; liisa.pakosta@volinik.ee)
Erika Ilves on maailmaparandaja, kellel on plaan asustada ühel ilusal päeval kosmos. Tegemist on nii vägeva inimesega, et kahe lausega polegi tema tegemisi võimalik kokku võtta. Küll aga soovitame kuulata Memokraadist temaga hiljuti tehtud raadiointervjuud. Muuhulgas armastab Erika väga lugeda ning jagas ka meiega mõningaid raamatusoovitusi. Raamatute sisukirjeldused laenasime Amazonist.
Fred Spier “Big History & The Future of Humanity”
Big History and the Future of Humanity presents an original theoretical approach that makes “big history” – the placing of the human past within the history of life, the Earth, and the Universe — accessible to general readers while revealing insights into what the future may hold for humanity.
David Deutsch “The Beginning of Infinity”
In this book physicist David Deutsch argues that explanations have a fundamental place in the universe — and that improving them is the basic regulating principle of all successful human endeavor. Taking us on a journey through every fundamental field of science, as well as the history of civilization, art, moral values, and the theory of political institutions, Deutsch tracks how we form new explanations and drop bad ones, explaining the conditions under which progress can and cannot happen. The Beginning of Infinity explores and establishes deep connections between the laws of nature, the human condition, knowledge, and the possibility for progress.
Jacob Bronowski “The Ascent of Man” (raamat ja teleseriaal)
Dr. Jacob Bronowksi’s classic traces the development of human society through our understanding of science. First published in 1973 to accompany the groundbreaking BBC television series, it is considered one of the first works of “popular science,” illuminating the historical and social context of scientific development for a generation of readers. In his highly accessible style, Dr. Bronowski discusses human invention from the flint tool to geometry, agriculture to genetics, and from alchemy to the theory of relativity, showing how they all are expressions of our ability to understand and control nature. In this new paperback edition, The Ascent of Man inspires, influences, and informs as profoundly as ever.
