Repenser le soutien et donner du pouvoir à la communauté des personnes handicapées | Elyse Go | TEDxSJCS Youth

Elyse Go, entrepreneure sociale basée à Manille, explore le quotidien des personnes handicapées et de leurs aidants. Elle montre pourquoi le besoin d'appartenance, pourtant universel, est souvent refusé dans la pratique. Elle distingue l'égalité de l'équité et invite à traiter les causes profondes de l'exclusion dans les politiques, les structures et les mentalités. La conférence a été donnée lors d'un événement TEDx organisé de manière indépendante par une communauté locale.

• Le besoin d'appartenance des personnes handicapées et de leurs aidants
• La différence entre égalité et équité
• La valeur philippine KASAMA comme appel à l'action

Elyse Go takes us into the unchartered world of persons with disabilities (PWDs) and their caregivers, exploring why the need for belonging, something we all understand, is so often denied in practice. Through the Filipino value of KASAMA, meaning "to be together with" in journey, struggle, and outcome, she breaks down the difference between equality and equity, shares powerful stories of PWDs and their families defying expectations, and challenges us to stop waiting for exclusion to erupt and instead address its root causes in policies, structures, and mindsets. This talk is a call to action, an invitation to become a KASAMA in building a world where everyone's potential has room to grow.
