Ljudje se prepogosto počutijo izključeni iz politike - celo na ravni lastnega mesta. Urbana aktivistka Alessandra Orofino meni, da se to lahko spremeni, in sicer s kombinacijo tehnologije in "staromodnih" medčloveških povezav. Skozi primere iz Ria, svojega mesta, pokaže: "Na nas je, da se odločimo, ali želimo imeti šole ali parkirišča, projekte reciklaže ali gradbišča, avtomobile ali avtobuse, samoto ali solidarnost."

Fifty-four percent of the world's population
0
1401
3554
54 % svetovnega prebivalstva
00:16
lives in our cities.
1
4955
2581
živi v mestih.
00:19
In developing countries,
2
7536
1645
V državah v razvoju
00:21
one third of that population
3
9181
2280
tretjina teh ljudi
00:23
is living in slums.
4
11461
2947
živi v barakarskih naseljih.
00:26
Seventy-five percent of global energy consumption
5
14408
4632
75% globalne porabe energije
00:31
occurs in our cities,
6
19040
3050
se zgodi v mestih
00:34
and 80 percent of gas emissions
7
22090
2509
in 80% emisij plinov,
00:36
that cause global warming
8
24599
1755
ki povzročajo globalno segrevanje,
00:38
come from our cities.
9
26354
3038
prihaja iz mest.
00:41
So things that you and I might think about
10
29392
3025
Stvari, na katere gledamo
00:44
as global problems,
11
32417
2115
kot na globalne probleme,
00:46
like climate change, the energy crisis
12
34532
2648
denimo podnebne spremembe,
energetska kriza,
energetska kriza,
00:49
or poverty,
13
37180
1662
revščina,
00:50
are really, in many ways, city problems.
14
38842
4860
so na nek način mestni problemi.
00:55
They will not be solved
15
43702
1862
Ne bomo jih rešili,
00:57
unless people who live in cities,
16
45564
3018
dokler ljudje, ki živijo v mestih,
01:00
like most of us,
17
48582
1919
kot večina nas,
01:02
actually start doing a better job,
18
50501
2792
ne bomo delovali bolje,
01:05
because right now, we are
not doing a very good one.
not doing a very good one.
19
53293
3956
kajti trenutno ne delamo dosti dobrega.
01:09
And that becomes very clear
20
57249
3336
To je zelo očitno,
01:12
when we look into three aspects of city life:
21
60585
3894
če vzamemo tri vidike
mestnega življenja:
mestnega življenja:
01:16
first, our citizens' willingness to engage
22
64479
4126
prvič, volja prebivalcev za udejstvovanje
01:20
with democratic institutions;
23
68605
2812
v demokratičnih institucijah;
01:23
second, our cities' ability to really include
24
71417
4804
drugič, sposobnost mest za vključevanje
01:28
all of their residents;
25
76221
2542
vseh prebivalcev;
01:30
and lastly, our own ability
26
78763
3177
in ne nazadnje, naša sposobnost
01:33
to live fulfilling and happy lives.
27
81940
4465
živeti polno in srečno življenje.
01:38
When it comes to engagement,
28
86405
1779
Kar se tiče udejstvovanja,
01:40
the data is very clear.
29
88184
2930
so podatki jasni.
01:43
Voter turnout around the world
30
91114
2081
Volilna udeležba po svetu
01:45
peaked in the late '80s,
31
93195
2441
je dosegla vrh v poznih 80. letih,
01:47
and it has been declining at a pace
32
95636
1845
od tedaj pa pada s hitrostjo,
01:49
that we have never seen before,
33
97481
3062
ki je doslej nismo poznali,
01:52
and if those numbers are bad at the national level,
34
100543
3595
in če so številke slabe na državni ravni,
01:56
at the level of our cities,
35
104138
2009
so na ravni mest
01:58
they are just dismal.
36
106147
3089
katastrofalne.
02:01
In the last two years,
37
109236
1594
V zadnjih dveh letih
02:02
two of the world's most consolidated,
38
110830
2501
sta dve najbolj trdni,
02:05
oldest democracies, the U.S. and France,
39
113331
3835
najstarejši demokraciji, ZDA in Francija,
02:09
held nationwide municipal elections.
40
117166
3805
imeli lokalne volitve.
02:12
In France, voter turnout hit a record low.
41
120971
3900
V Franciji je bila udeležba
rekordno nizka.
rekordno nizka.
02:16
Almost 40 percent of voters decided
42
124871
4062
Skoraj 40 odstotkov volivcev
02:20
not to show up.
43
128933
2688
je ostalo doma.
02:23
In the U.S., the numbers were even scarier.
44
131621
3089
V ZDA je bilo še huje.
02:26
In some American cities,
45
134710
2277
V nekaterih ameriških mestih
02:28
voter turnout was close to five percent.
46
136987
4994
je bila udeležba okoli 5-odstotna.
02:33
I'll let that sink in for a second.
47
141981
1789
Pomislite za trenutek.
02:35
We're talking about democratic cities
48
143770
2418
Govorimo o demokratičnih mestih,
02:38
in which 95 percent of people
49
146188
3375
kjer je 95 odstotkov ljudi menilo,
02:41
decided that it was not important
50
149563
2418
da ni pomembno,
02:43
to elect their leaders.
51
151981
2745
da izvolijo svoje voditelje.
02:46
The city of L.A., a city of four million people,
52
154726
3654
Los Angeles, s 4 milijoni prebivalcev,
02:50
elected its mayor with just a bit over 200,000 votes.
53
158380
4929
je župana izvolil z nekaj več
kot 200.000 glasovi.
kot 200.000 glasovi.
02:55
That was the lowest turnout the city had seen
54
163309
2486
To je najnižja udeležba v tem mestu
02:57
in 100 years.
55
165795
2881
v zadnjih sto letih.
03:00
Right here, in my city of Rio,
56
168676
3044
Tu v mojem mestu, v Riu,
03:03
in spite of mandatory voting,
57
171720
3074
je kljub obveznemu glasovanju,
03:06
almost 30 percent of the voting population
58
174794
3498
skoraj 30 odstotkov volivcev
03:10
chose to either annul their votes
59
178292
2565
oddalo neveljavne glasovnice
03:12
or stay home and pay a fine
60
180857
2632
ali ostalo doma in raje plačalo kazen
03:15
in the last mayoral elections.
61
183489
3331
na zadnjih volitvah za župana.
03:18
When it comes to inclusiveness,
62
186820
2319
Tudi kar se tiče vključevanja
03:21
our cities are not the best cases of success either,
63
189139
3105
naša mesta niso ravno zgled uspehov
03:24
and again, you don't need to look very far
64
192244
2890
in ni vam treba gledati daleč,
03:27
in order to find proof of that.
65
195134
1755
da bi našli dokaze.
03:28
The city of Rio is incredibly unequal.
66
196889
4499
Rio je neverjetno poln neenakosti.
03:33
This is Leblon.
67
201388
1969
To je Leblon.
03:35
Leblon is the city's richest neighborhood.
68
203357
3104
Je najbogatejša mestna četrt.
03:38
And this is Complexo do Alemão.
69
206461
2439
To je Complexo do Alemão.
03:40
This is where over 70,000
70
208900
2264
Tu živi preko 70.000
03:43
of the city's poorest residents live.
71
211164
3251
najrevnejših prebivalcev mesta.
03:46
Leblon has an HDI, a Human Development Index,
72
214415
3586
HDI (indeks človekovega razvoja)
03:50
of .967.
73
218001
3389
je v Leblonu 0.967.
03:53
That is higher than Norway, Switzerland
74
221390
3821
To je višje od Norveške, Švice
03:57
or Sweden.
75
225211
2241
ali Švedske.
03:59
Complexo do Alemão has an HDI of .711.
76
227452
3729
HDI v Complexo do Alemão je 0.711.
04:03
It sits somewhere in between the HDI
77
231181
2930
To ga umešča nekam med HDI
04:06
of Algeria and Gabon.
78
234111
3217
Alžirije in Gabona.
04:09
So Rio, like so many cities across the global South,
79
237328
4781
Kot mnoga druga mesta globalnega Juga
04:14
is a place where you can go from northern Europe
80
242109
2971
je Rio kraj, kjer lahko od severne Evrope
04:17
to sub-Saharan Africa
81
245080
1900
greste do podsaharske Afrike,
04:18
in the space of 30 minutes.
82
246980
3004
in to v pol ure.
04:21
If you drive, that is.
83
249984
1709
Če vozite, seveda.
04:23
If you take public transit, it's about two hours.
84
251693
4747
Z javnim prevozom traja kaki dve uri.
04:28
And lastly, perhaps most importantly,
85
256440
3859
In ne nazadnje, morda najpomembneje,
04:32
cities, with the incredible wealth
86
260299
2481
mesta z neverjetno količino
04:34
of relations that they enable,
87
262780
2502
odnosov, ki jih omogočajo,
04:37
could be the ideal places for human happiness
88
265282
3878
bi bila lahko idealen prostor
04:41
to flourish.
89
269160
1402
za človekovo srečo.
04:42
We like being around people.
90
270562
2425
Radi smo blizu drugih ljudi.
04:44
We are social animals.
91
272987
2396
Družabne živali smo.
04:47
Instead, countries where urbanization
92
275383
2623
Namesto tega so države,
kjer je urbanizacija
kjer je urbanizacija
04:50
has already peaked seem to be the very countries
93
278006
4222
dosegla višek, prav tiste,
04:54
in which cities have stopped making us happy.
94
282228
4652
v katerih nas mesta ne osrečujejo več.
04:58
The United States population has suffered
95
286880
2604
Prebivalstvo ZDA je občutilo
05:01
from a general decrease in happiness
96
289484
2980
splošen padec sreče
05:04
for the past three decades,
97
292464
3202
v zadnjih treh desetletjih,
05:07
and the main reason is this.
98
295666
2974
glavni razlog pa je tale:
05:10
The American way of building cities
99
298640
2902
ameriški način gradnje mest
05:13
has caused good quality public spaces
100
301542
2711
je kakovostne javne prostore
05:16
to virtually disappear in many,
101
304253
1984
v mnogih mestih
05:18
many American cities,
102
306237
1755
skoraj izničil,
05:19
and as a result, they have seen
103
307992
1997
zaradi tega pa je prišlo
05:21
a decline of relations,
104
309989
2555
do upada odnosov,
05:24
of the things that make us happy.
105
312544
2204
stvari, ki nas osrečujejo.
05:26
Many studies show an increase
106
314748
2047
Mnoge študije kažejo na rast
05:28
in solitude and a decrease in solidarity,
107
316795
4691
samote in upad solidarnosti,
05:33
honesty, and social and civic participation.
108
321486
4656
poštenja ter družbene
in civilne participacije.
in civilne participacije.
05:38
So how do we start building cities
109
326142
3364
Kako naj potem zgradimo mesta,
05:41
that make us care?
110
329506
2610
v katerih nam bo mar?
05:44
Cities that value their most important asset:
111
332116
4634
Mesta, ki vrednotijo svojo
najpomembnejšo prednost:
najpomembnejšo prednost:
05:48
the incredible diversity
112
336750
2599
neverjetno raznolikost
05:51
of the people who live in them?
113
339349
2206
ljudi, ki tam živijo?
05:53
Cities that make us happy?
114
341555
3657
Mesta, ki nas osrečujejo?
05:57
Well, I believe that if we want to change
115
345212
2507
Verjamem, da če hočemo spremeniti
05:59
what our cities look like,
116
347719
2552
izgled naših mest,
06:02
then we really have to change
117
350271
2690
moramo v resnici spremeniti
06:04
the decision-making processes
118
352961
2543
procese odločanja,
06:07
that have given us the results
that we have right now.
that we have right now.
119
355504
3824
ki so nas privedli v položaj,
v katerem smo zdaj.
v katerem smo zdaj.
06:11
We need a participation revolution,
120
359328
3172
Potrebujemo revolucijo participacije,
06:14
and we need it fast.
121
362500
2874
in to hitro.
06:17
The idea of voting as our
only exercise in citizenship
only exercise in citizenship
122
365374
5338
Volitve kot edini izraz državljanstva
06:22
does not make sense anymore.
123
370712
2958
nimajo več smisla.
06:25
People are tired of only being treated
124
373670
2529
Ljudem je dovolj, da so
06:28
as empowered individuals every few years
125
376199
4173
polnomočni posamezniki
le vsakih par let,
le vsakih par let,
06:32
when it's time to delegate that power
126
380372
3150
ko je treba moč dodeliti
06:35
to someone else.
127
383522
2375
nekomu drugemu.
06:37
If the protests that swept Brazil
128
385897
2945
Če so nas protesti junija 2013
06:40
in June 2013 have taught us anything,
129
388842
4972
v Braziliji česa naučili,
06:45
it's that every time we try
130
393814
2835
je sporočilo to,
da nas bodo, kadarkoli skušamo
da nas bodo, kadarkoli skušamo
06:48
to exercise our power
131
396649
2452
uporabiti svojo moč
06:51
outside of an electoral context,
132
399101
2857
izven okvira volitev,
06:53
we are beaten up, humiliated or arrested.
133
401958
5254
pretepli, ponižali ali aretirali.
06:59
And this needs to change,
134
407212
3207
To se mora spremeniti,
07:02
because when it does,
135
410419
2214
kajti ko se bo,
07:04
not only will people re-engage
136
412633
2261
bodo ljudje spet sodelovali
07:06
with the structures of representation,
137
414894
2486
v predstavniških institucijah,
07:09
but also complement these structures
138
417380
3274
a jih bodo tudi oplemenitili
07:12
with direct, effective, and
collective decision making,
collective decision making,
139
420654
6918
z neposrednim, učinkovitim
in kolektivnim odločanjem,
in kolektivnim odločanjem,
07:19
decision making of the kind
140
427572
1924
odločanjem,
07:21
that attacks inequality
141
429496
2046
ki napada neenakost,
07:23
by its very inclusive nature,
142
431542
3240
saj je vključujoče,
07:26
decision making of the kind
143
434782
1823
odločanje,
07:28
that can change our cities
144
436605
2216
ki spreminja naša mesta
07:30
into better places for us to live.
145
438821
3116
v boljši življenjski prostor.
07:33
But there is a catch, obviously:
146
441937
3479
Seveda obstaja tudi past:
07:37
Enabling widespread participation
147
445416
2741
široka participacija
07:40
and redistributing power
148
448157
1958
in prerazdelitev moči
07:42
can be a logistical nightmare,
149
450115
2725
sta lahko logistična nočna mora
07:44
and there's where technology can play
150
452840
2289
in tu lahko tehnologija igra
07:47
an incredibly helpful role,
151
455129
2177
neverjetno pomembno vlogo,
07:49
by making it easier for people to organize,
152
457306
3082
saj ljudem olajša organiziranje,
07:52
communicate and make decisions
153
460388
2064
komunikacijo in odločanje,
07:54
without having to be in the same room
154
462452
2238
ne da bi morali biti v istem prostoru
07:56
at the same time.
155
464690
2262
ob istem času.
07:58
Unfortunately for us,
156
466952

Na žalost,
08:00
when it comes to fostering democratic processes,
157
468853
3026
ko gre za krepitev demokratičnih procesov,
08:03
our city governments have not used technology
158
471879
3085
mestne vlade ne uporabljajo tehnologije
08:06
to its full potential.
159
474964
2978
v vsem njenem potencialu.
08:09
So far, most city governments have been effective
160
477942
3217
Doslej večina mestnih oblasti učinkovito
08:13
at using tech to turn citizens into human sensors
161
481159
4583
uporablja tehnologijo za to,
da ljudi spremeni v senzorje,
da ljudi spremeni v senzorje,
08:17
who serve authorities with data on the city:
162
485742
3708
ki služijo za zbiranje podatkov o mestu:
08:21
potholes, fallen trees or broken lamps.
163
489450
4006
luknje na cestah, padla drevesa,
pokvarjene svetilke.
pokvarjene svetilke.
08:25
They have also, to a lesser extent,
164
493456
2430
V manjši meri so tudi
08:27
invited people to participate in improving
165
495886
3600
povabile ljudi k sodelovanju
pri izboljšanju
pri izboljšanju
08:31
the outcome of decisions
166
499486
1614
rezultatov odločitev,
08:33
that were already made for them,
167
501100
3312
ki so bile že sprejete,
08:36
just like my mom when I was eight
168
504412
1575
kot je meni pri osmih letih
08:37
and she told me that I had a choice:
169
505987
1766
mama dala izbiro:
08:39
I had to be in bed by 8 p.m.,
170
507753
1577
da sem v postelji ob osmih zvečer,
08:41
but I could choose my pink
pajamas or my blue pajamas.
pajamas or my blue pajamas.
171
509330
3913
a lahko izberem roza ali modro pižamo.
08:45
That's not participation,
172
513243
2239
To ni participacija
08:47
and in fact, governments have not been very good
173
515482
3745
in vlade tehnologije ne uporabljajo dobro,
08:51
at using technology to enable participation
174
519227
2903
da bi omogočile participacijo
08:54
on what matters —
175
522130
1950
pri pomembnih temah:
08:56
the way we allocate our budget,
176
524080
2313
kako razporedimo proračun,
08:58
the way we occupy our land,
177
526393
2222
kako izkoristimo prostor,
09:00
and the way we manage our natural resources.
178
528615
3549
kako upravljamo z naravnimi viri.
09:04
Those are the kinds of decisions
179
532164
2114
To so odločitve,
09:06
that can actually impact global problems
180
534278
2880
ki vplivajo na globalne probleme,
09:09
that manifest themselves in our cities.
181
537158
3822
ki se odražajo v mestih.
09:12
The good news is,
182
540980
1526
Dobra novica je -
09:14
and I do have good news to share with you,
183
542506
1863
ja, imam dobro novico -
09:16
we don't need to wait for governments to do this.
184
544369
4297
da nam za to ni treba čakati na vlado.
09:20
I have reason to believe
185
548666
1970
Verjamem, da ljudje
09:22
that it's possible for citizens to build
186
550636
2588
lahko zgradimo
09:25
their own structures of participation.
187
553224
4533
svoje strukture za participacijo.
09:29
Three years ago, I cofounded an organization
188
557757
2801
Pred tremi leti
sem ustanovila organizacijo,
sem ustanovila organizacijo,
09:32
called Meu Rio,
189
560558
2487
ki se imenuje Meu Rio (Moj Rio),
09:35
and we make it easier for people in the city of Rio
190
563045
3080
ki meščanom pomaga,
09:38
to organize around causes and places
191
566125
3579
da se združijo okrog ciljev in prostorov,
09:41
that they care about in their own city,
192
569704
2597
za katere jim je v mestu mar,
09:44
and have an impact on those causes and places
193
572301
2689
da imajo vpliv na cilje in prostore,
09:46
every day.
194
574990
2328
in to vsak dan.
09:49
In these past three years, Meu Rio grew
195
577318
2742
V treh letih je Meu Rio zrasla
09:52
to a network of 160,000 citizens of Rio.
196
580060
5868
v mrežo 160,000 prebivalcev mesta.
09:57
About 40 percent of those
members are young people
members are young people
197
585928
3905
Okoli 40 odstotkov je mladih
10:01
aged 20 to 29.
198
589833
2239
starih med 20 in 29 let.
10:04
That is one in every 15 young people
199
592072
4924
To je vsak petnajsti mlad človek
10:08
of that age in Rio today.
200
596996
3832
v današnjem Riu.
10:12
Amongst our members is this adorable little girl,
201
600828
3632
Tudi ta čudovita punčka je naša članica
10:16
Bia, to your right,
202
604460
2049
to je Bia, na desni,
10:18
and Bia was just 11 years old
203
606509
3127
imela je samo 11 let,
10:21
when she started a campaign using one of our tools
204
609636
2936
ko je sprožila kampanjo
s pomočjo enega naših orodij,
s pomočjo enega naših orodij,
10:24
to save her model public school from demolition.
205
612572
3589
da bi svojo šolo rešila pred rušitvijo.
10:28
Her school actually ranks among the best
206
616161
2092
Njena šola je med najboljšimi
10:30
public schools in the country,
207
618253
2272
javnimi šolami v državi,
10:32
and it was going to be demolished
208
620525
1732
a vlada države Rio de Janeiro
10:34
by the Rio de Janeiro state government
209
622257
2554
jo je hotela porušiti,
10:36
to build, I kid you not,
210
624811
1890
da bi, ne hecam se,
10:38
a parking lot for the World Cup
211
626701
2823
zgradila parkirišče za
svetovno prvenstvo v nogometu,
svetovno prvenstvo v nogometu,
10:41
right before the event happened.
212
629524
2346
tik preden se je to začelo.
10:43
Bia started a campaign, and we even watched
213
631870
2494
Bia je začela s kampanjo
in njeno šolo smo opazovali
in njeno šolo smo opazovali
10:46
her school 24/7 through webcam monitoring,
214
634364
3383
24 ur na dan, preko sistema kamer,
10:49
and many months afterwards,
215
637747
2014
in mnogo mesecev kasneje
10:51
the government changed their minds.
216
639761
1631
si je vlada premislila.
10:53
Bia's school stayed in place.
217
641392
2924
Biina šola je ostala.
10:56
There's also Jovita.
218
644316
2171
Tole je Jovita.
10:58
She's an amazing woman whose daughter
219
646487
2272
Neverjetna ženska, katere hči
11:00
went missing about 10 years ago,
220
648759
2661
je pred desetimi leti izginila
11:03
and since then, she has been looking
221
651420
2435
in ona jo vse odtlej
11:05
for her daughter.
222
653855
1184
išče.
11:07
In that process, she found out
223
655039
2776
V tem času je ugotovila,
11:09
that first, she was not alone.
224
657815
2553
da, prvič, ni edina.
11:12
In the last year alone, 2013,
225
660368
2588
Samo v letu 2013
11:14
6,000 people disappeared
226
662956
1874
je v državi Rio
11:16
in the state of Rio.
227
664830
1876
izginilo 6000 ljudi.
11:18
But she also found out that in spite of that,
228
666706
2628
Ugotovila je tudi, da Rio kljub temu
11:21
Rio had no centralized intelligence system
229
669334
3951
nima centraliziranega sistema obveščanja
11:25
for solving missing persons cases.
230
673285
3305
za reševanje primerov izginotij.
11:28
In other Brazilian cities, those systems
231
676590
2570
V drugih brazilskih mestih taki sistemi
11:31
have helped solve up to 80 percent
232
679160
2390
pomagajo rešiti do 80 odstotkov
11:33
of missing persons cases.
233
681550
2036
primerov izginulih oseb.
11:35
She started a campaign,
234
683586
1743
Sprožila je kampanjo
11:37
and after the secretary of
security got 16,000 emails
security got 16,000 emails
235
685329
3982
in ko je minister za varnost dobil
16,000 elektronskih pošt,
16,000 elektronskih pošt,
11:41
from people asking him to do this,
236
689311
2813
ki so zahtevale, naj kaj stori,
11:44
he responded, and started to build a police unit
237
692124
2982
se je odzval in začel sestavljati
policijski oddelek,
policijski oddelek,
11:47
specializing in those cases.
238
695106
1824
specializiran za take primere.
11:48
It was open to the public at the end of last month,
239
696930
3356
Javnosti so ga predstavili
konec prejšnjega meseca
konec prejšnjega meseca
11:52
and Jovita was there
240
700286
1851
in Jovita je bila tam,
11:54
giving interviews and being very fancy.
241
702137
3024
dajala je intervjuje in bila vsa fina.
11:57
And then, there is Leandro.
242
705161
1839
Tole pa je Leandro.
11:59
Leandro is an amazing guy
243
707000
1723
Leandro je čudovit fant
12:00
in a slum in Rio,
244
708723
1916
iz barakarskega naselja v Riu,
12:02
and he created a recycling project in the slum.
245
710639
3423
ki je napravil projekt recikliranja.
12:06
At the end of last year, December 16,
246
714062
2450
Konec minulega leta, 16. decembra,
12:08
he received an eviction order
247
716512
2092
je od države Rio
12:10
by the Rio de Janeiro state government
248
718604
1980
dobil ukaz za izselitev,
12:12
giving him two weeks to leave the space
249
720584
3920
zato naj bi v dveh tednih
izpraznil prostor,
izpraznil prostor,
12:16
that he had been using for two years.
250
724504
3740
kjer je živel dve leti.
12:20
The plan was to hand it over to a developer,
251
728244
2565
Prostor so hoteli oddati podjetju,
12:22
who planned to turn it into a construction site.
252
730809
3420
ki je želelo napraviti gradbišče.
12:26
Leandro started a campaign using one of our tools,
253
734229
3068
Leandro je sprožil kampanjo
12:29
the Pressure Cooker,
254
737297
1578
z našim "Loncem na pritisk".
12:30
the same one that Bia and Jovita used,
255
738875
2339
Zaradi istega orodja kot Bia in Jovita
12:33
and the state government changed their minds
256
741214
3056
je dosegel spremembo mnenja vlade
12:36
before Christmas Eve.
257
744270
3266
še pred božičem.
12:39
These stories make me happy,
258
747536
3072
Te zgodbe me veselijo,
12:42
but not just because they have happy endings.
259
750608
3047
a ne samo zato, ker imajo srečen konec.
12:45
They make me happy because they are
260
753655
2746
Veselijo me, ker so
12:48
happy beginnings.
261
756401
2699
srečni začetki.
12:51
The teacher and parent community at Bia's school
262
759100
2419
Skupnost učiteljev in staršev v Biini šoli
12:53
is looking for other ways they could improve
263
761519
1956
išče druge načine, kako
12:55
that space even further.
264
763475
3477
še izboljšati prostor.
12:58
Leandro has ambitious plans
265
766952
1711
Leandro ima ambiciozen načrt
13:00
to take his model to other
low-income communities in Rio,
low-income communities in Rio,
266
768663
2953
razširiti svoj model med drugimi
revnimi skupnostmi v Riu,
revnimi skupnostmi v Riu,
13:03
and Jovita is volunteering at the police unit
267
771616
3211
Jovita pa je prostovoljka
na policijskem oddelku,
na policijskem oddelku,
13:06
that she helped created.
268
774827
2840
ki ga je pomagala ustanoviti.
13:09
Bia, Jovita and Leandro
269
777667
2748
Bia, Jovita in Leandro
13:12
are living examples of something
270
780415
2060
so živi primeri tega,
13:14
that citizens and city
governments around the world
governments around the world
271
782475
3582
kar morajo ljudje in mestne oblasti
13:18

po vsem svetu vedeti:
13:20
We are ready.

13:23
As citizens, we are ready
274
791788
2928
Kot državljani smo pripravljeni
13:26
to decide on our common destinies,
275
794716
3555
odločati o skupni usodi,
13:30
because we know that the way we distribute power
276
798271
4019
saj vemo da to, kako razporedimo moč,
13:34
says a lot about how we actually value everyone,
277
802290
4840
veliko pove o tem, kako vrednotimo druge,
13:39
and because we know
278
807130
2230
in ker vemo,
13:41
that enabling and participating in local politics
279
809360
3495
da je omogočanje in sodelovanje
v lokalni upravi
v lokalni upravi
13:44
is a sign that we truly care
280
812855
2123
znak, da nam je res mar
13:46
about our relations to one another,
281
814978
2190
za medsebojne odnose,
13:49
and we are ready to do this
282
817168
1722
in da smo to sedaj pripravljeni
13:50
in cities around the world right now.
283
818890

storiti v mestih po svetu.
13:54
With the Our Cities network,

Z našo mrežo Naša mesta

We have already started doing it in São Paulo
289
833884
2557
V São Paulu smo že začeli
14:08
with incredible results,
290
836441

in imamo neverjetne rezultate,
14:10
and want to take it to cities around the world

izzivajo in opominjajo, naj zahtevamo
14:24
real participation in our city lives.
296
852396
5051
pravo participacijo v mestnem življenju.
14:29
It is up to us
297
857447
1962
Na nas je,
14:31
to decide whether we want schools
298
859409
2485
da se odločimo, ali hočemo imeti šole
14:33
or parking lots,
299
861894

ali parkirišča,
14:36
community-driven recycling projects

14:43
and it is our responsibility to do that now,
303
871536
3699
in naša odgovornost je,
da to storimo zdaj,
da to storimo zdaj,
14:47
for ourselves, for our families,
304
875235
3424
zase, za svoje družine,
14:50
for the people who make our lives worth living,
305
878659

za ljudi, ki osmišljajo naše življenje,

lepoto in čudovitost,
zaradi katerih so naša mesta

in spite of all of their problems,

2587
kljub vsem težavam
15:03
the greatest invention of our time.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Alessandra Orofino - Political mobilization activistAlessandra Orofino founded Meu Rio, Rio de Janeiro’s largest mobilization network.
Why you should listen
After working as a field researcher in Brazil and India, interviewing young girls who had been victims of domestic violence, Alessandra Orofino founded Meu Rio in 2011. The organization has fueled bottom-up local politics using a combination of on-the-ground actions and custom-designed online and mobile platforms and apps.
Orofino, who's 25 years old with a degree in economics and human rights from Columbia, is a believer in participatory politics and in cities as the ideal locus for reinventing representative democracy, and with her team she has designed Meu Rio as a catalyst for youth activism. Among its 140,000 members are tens of thousands of millennials, identifying common issues, pooling ideas for solutions, and pressuring decision-makers to adopt new policies and practices.
