Resiliência e a necessidade de mudança | Sabari Venkat Sreenivas | TEDxKCT

Sabari Venkat Sreenivas, palestrante motivacional e ativista dos direitos das pessoas com deficiência de Coimbatore, questiona se a resiliência é algo que a sociedade impõe às pessoas, em vez de uma qualidade apenas admirada. Ele parte de sua experiência pessoal com educação, independência e barreiras sistêmicas. A palestra aborda acessibilidade, inclusão e as dificuldades invisíveis que muitas pessoas ainda enfrentam. Ela convida a olhar além da inspiração, para os sistemas e atitudes que moldam oportunidades e dignidade. Foi apresentada em um evento TEDx organizado de forma independente.

• A resiliência imposta pela sociedade
