Contagious is a good word.

3000
"Nákazlivý" je dobré slovo.
00:18
Even in the times of H1N1, I like the word.
1
3000
4000
Dokonca aj v čase H1N1 mám toto slovo rada.
00:22
Laughter is contagious. Passion is contagious.
2
7000
3000
Smiech je nákazlivý. Zanietenie je nákazlivé.
00:25
Inspiration is contagious.
3
10000
2000
Inšpirácia je nákazlivá.
00:27
We've heard some remarkable stories from some remarkable speakers.
4
12000
5000
Počuli sme niekoľko pozoruhodných príbehov od pozoruhodných rečníkov.
00:32
But for me, what was contagious about all of them
5
17000
3000
Pre mňa osobne bolo na nich nákazlivé to,
00:35
was that they were infected by something I call the
6
20000
3000
že boli infikované bacilom, ktorý nazývam
00:38
"I Can" bug.
7
23000
2000
bacil "Ja môžem".
00:40
So, the question is, why only them?
8
25000
3000
Otázne teda je, prečo iba oni?
00:43
In a country of a billion people and some,
9
28000
3000
V krajine s viac ako miliardou ľudí,
00:46
why so few?
10
31000
2000
prečo iba toľkí?
00:48
Is it luck? Is it chance?
11
33000
2000
Je to šťastie? Je to náhoda?
00:50
Can we all not systematically and consciously
12
35000
2000
Nemôžeme sa systematicky
00:52
get infected?
13
37000
2000
a vedome nakaziť všetci?
00:54
So, in the next eight minutes I would like to share with you my story.
14
39000
4000
V nasledovných 8 minútach by som sa s vami rada podelila o môj príbeh.
00:58
I got infected when I was 17,
15
43000
2000
Ja som sa nakazila, keď som mala 17 rokov,
01:00
when, as a student of the design college,
16
45000
2000
keď som ako študentka vysokej školy dizajnu
01:02
I encountered adults who actually believed in my ideas,
17
47000
4000
narazila na dospelých, ktorí uverili mojim myšlienkam,
01:06
challenged me and had lots of cups of chai with me.
18
51000
3000
kládli predo mňa výzvy a vypili so mnou mnoho šálok čaju.
01:09
And I was struck by just how wonderful it felt,
19
54000
3000
Prekvapilo ma, aký nádherný pocit som z toho mala,
01:12
and how contagious that feeling was.
20
57000
2000
a aký nákazlivý ten pocit bol.
01:14
I also realized I should have got infected when I was seven.
21
59000
5000
Tiež som si uvedomila, že som sa mala nakaziť už v siedmych rokoch.
01:19
So, when I started Riverside school 10 years ago it became a lab,
22
64000
3000
Keď som teda pred 10 rokmi založila školu Riverside, stalo sa z nej laboratórium -
01:22
a lab to prototype and refine a design process
23
67000
5000
laboratórium na tvorbu prototypov a dolaďovanie procesu,
01:27
that could consciously infect the mind with the "I Can" bug.
24
72000
3000
ktorý by vedome infikoval ľudskú myseľ bacilom "Ja môžem".
01:30
And I uncovered
25
75000
2000
A zistila som,
01:32
that if learning is embedded in real-world context,
26
77000
3000
že ak je učenie zasadené do kontextu skutočného života,
01:35
that if you blur the boundaries between school and life,
27
80000
3000
že ako náhle zmažete hranice medzi školou a životom,
01:38
then children go through a journey of "aware,"
28
83000
3000
potom deti prechádzajú fázami -
01:41
where they can see the change,
29
86000
2000
uvedomenie - kedy zmenu vidia,
01:43
"enable," be changed,
30
88000
3000
umožnenie - kedy sa sami zmenia,
01:46
and then "empower," lead the change.
31
91000
3000
zmocnenie - kedy zmenu sami realizujú.
01:49
And that directly increased student wellbeing.
32
94000
3000
Malo to priamy dopad na zvýšenie blahobytu žiakov.
01:52
Children became more competent,
33
97000
2000
Deti sa stali oveľa schopnejšie,
01:54
and less helpless.
34
99000
2000
a menej bezmocné.
01:56
But this was all common sense.
35
101000
2000
Všetko toto sú však bežné veci.
01:58
So, I'd like to show you a little glimpse of what
36
103000
2000
Preto mi dovoľte ukázať vám v krátkosti,
02:00
common practice looks like at Riverside.
37
105000
3000
ako to vyzerá v praxi na Riverside.
02:03
A little background: when my grade five was learning about child rights,
38
108000
4000
Trochu o pozadí: keď sa moji piataci učili o detských právach,
02:07
they were made to roll incense sticks,
39
112000
2000
primäla som ich k tomu, aby osem hodín
02:09
agarbattis, for eight hours
40
114000
2000
šúľali vonné tyčinky agarbatti,
02:11
to experience what it means to be a child laborer.
41
116000
4000
aby si zažili, čo to znamená byť detským pracovníkom.
02:15
It transformed them. What you will see is their journey,
42
120000
2000
To úplne zmenilo ich vnímanie. Teraz uvidíte ich cestu,
02:17
and then their utter conviction
43
122000
2000
a ich absolútne presvedčenie,
02:19
that they could go out and change the world.
44
124000
3000
že môžu ísť a zmeniť svet.
02:22
(Music)
45
127000
2000
(Hudba)
02:26
That's them rolling.
46
131000
2000
Tu vyrábajú tie tyčinky.
02:28
And in two hours, after their backs were broke,
47
133000
3000
Po dvoch hodinách, keď už nevládali na chrbát,
02:31
they were changed.
48
136000
2000
boli zmenení.
02:33
And once that happened,
49
138000
2000
A hneď, ako k tomu došlo,
02:35
they were out in the city convincing everybody
50
140000
3000
vyšli do ulíc mesta a začali všetkých presviedčať,
02:38
that child labor just had to be abolished.
51
143000
3000
že detskú prácu jednoducho treba zrušiť.
02:43
And look at Ragav, that moment when his face changes
52
148000
3000
Pozrite sa na Ragava, na ten moment, keď zmení výraz tváre,
02:46
because he's been able to understand that he
53
151000
3000
pretože zrazu pochopil, že bol schopný
02:49
has shifted that man's mindset.
54
154000
3000
zmeniť názor tohto človeka.
02:52
And that can't happen in a classroom.
55
157000
3000
K takémuto niečomu by v triede nedošlo.
02:58
So, when Ragav experienced that
56
163000
1000
Takže, keď Ragav nadobudol túto skúsenosť,
02:59
he went from "teacher told me,"
57
164000
3000
prešiel od "učiteľka mi povedala"
03:02
to "I am doing it." And that's the "I Can" mindshift.
58
167000
3000
k "toto robím ja". A to je práve ten posun v myslení k "Ja môžem".
03:05
And it is a process that can be energized and nurtured.
59
170000
4000
Je to proces, ktorý možno živiť a rozvíjať.
03:09
But we had parents who said,
60
174000
2000
Mali sme však rodičov, ktorí hovorili,
03:11
"Okay, making our children good human beings is all very well,
61
176000
2000
"OK, to, že z našich detí robíte dobrých ľudí je v poriadku,
03:13
but what about math and science and English?
62
178000
2000
ale čo s matematikou, vedami a angličtinou?
03:15
Show us the grades."
63
180000
2000
Ukážte nám známky."
03:17
And we did. The data was conclusive.
64
182000
3000
To sme aj spravili. Dáta boli jednoznačné.
03:20
When children are empowered,
65
185000
2000
Keď deťom dáte moc,
03:22
not only do they do good,
66
187000
2000
nedarí sa im len dobre,
03:24
they do well, in fact very well,
67
189000
3000
ale veľmi dobre, dokonca až výborne,
03:27
as you can see in this national benchmarking assessment
68
192000
2000
ako vidíte v tomto národnom porovnávacom hodnotení,
03:29
taken by over 2,000 schools in India,
69
194000
3000
ktorého sa zúčastnilo 2 000 škôl v Indii.
03:32
Riverside children were outperforming the top 10 schools in India
70
197000
3000
Deti z Riverside výsledkami predčili 10 najprestížnejších škôl v Indii
03:35
in math, English and science.
71
200000
2000
v matematike, angličtine aj vedách.
03:37
So, it worked. It was now time to take it outside Riverside.
72
202000
4000
Takže, fungovalo to. Prišiel čas uplatniť to aj mimo Riverside.
03:41
So, on August 15th, Independence Day, 2007,
73
206000
4000
15. augusta 2007, na deň nezávislosti Indie
03:45
the children of Riverside set out to infect Ahmedabad.
74
210000
5000
sa deti z Riverside rozhodli nakaziť Ahmedabád.
03:50
Now it was not about Riverside school.
75
215000
2000
Teraz už nešlo o školu Riverside.
03:52
It was about all children. So, we were shameless.
76
217000
3000
Išlo o všetky deti. Boli sme teda bez hanby.
03:55
We walked into the offices of the municipal corporation, the police,
77
220000
3000
Vošli sme do kancelárií mestskej samosprávy, polície,
03:58
the press, businesses,
78
223000
2000
novín a firiem
04:00
and basically said, "When are you going to wake up
79
225000
3000
a pýtali sme sa: "Kedy sa mienite zobudiť
04:03
and recognize the potential that resides in every child?
80
228000
3000
a uvedomiť si potenciál, ktorý sa skrýva v každom dieťati?
04:06
When will you include the child in the city?
81
231000
2000
Kedy zahrniete deti do života mesta?
04:08
Basically, open your hearts and your minds to the child."
82
233000
3000
V podstate, kedy otvoríte svoje srdce a mysle deťom?"
04:11
So, how did the city respond?
83
236000
2000
No a ako na to reagovalo mesto?
04:13
Since 2007 every other month
84
238000
3000
Od roku 2007 každý druhý mesiac
04:16
the city closes down the busiest streets for traffic
85
241000
4000
mesto zatvára premávku na najrušnejších uliciach
04:20
and converts it into a playground for children and childhood.
86
245000
3000
a premieňa ich na ihriská pre deti a detstvo ako také.
04:23
Here was a city telling its child, "You can."
87
248000
4000
Bolo tu mesto, ktoré svojim deťom hovorilo "Môžeš".
04:27
A glimpse of infection in Ahmedabad.
88
252000
2000
Jeden pohľad na nákazu v Ahmedabáde.
04:29
Video: [Unclear]
89
254000
4000
Video: (v hindštine)
04:35
So, the busiest streets closed down.
90
260000
2000
Najrušnejšie ulice sa uzatvorili.
04:37
We have the traffic police and municipal corporation helping us.
91
262000
4000
Pomáhala nám pri tom dopravná polícia a mestská samospráva.
04:41
It gets taken over by children.
92
266000
3000
Ulice zaplavili deti.
04:44
They are skating. They are doing street plays.
93
269000
3000
Jazdia na skateboardoch. Hrajú pouličné hry.
04:47
They are playing, all free, for all children.
94
272000
5000
Hrajú sa, úplná sloboda, pre všetky deti.
04:52
(Music)
95
277000
10000
(Hudba)
05:02
Atul Karwal: aProCh is an organization which has been doing things for kids earlier.
96
287000
3000
Atul Karwal: Aproach je organizácia, ktorá už dávnejšie robila veci pre deti.
05:05
And we plan to extend this to other parts of the city.
97
290000
2000
Plánujeme to rozšíriť aj na ďalšie mestské časti.
05:07
(Music)
98
292000
3000
(Hudba)
05:10
Kiran Bir Sethi: And the city will give free time.
99
295000
3000
Kiran Bir Sethi: Mesto dá k dispozícii voľný čas.
05:13
And Ahmedabad got the first child-friendly zebra crossing in the world.
100
298000
4000
V Ahmedabáde nájdete prvý detský prechod - zebru na svete.
05:18
Geet Sethi: When a city gives to the children,
101
303000
2000
Geet Sethi: Keď mesto dáva deťom,
05:20
in the future the children will give back to the city.
102
305000
3000
v budúcnosti budú deti dávať späť mestu.
05:23
(Music)
103
308000
2000
(Hudba)
05:29
KBS: And because of that,
104
314000
2000
KBS: Vďaku tomu je
05:31
Ahmedabad is known as India's first child-friendly city.
105
316000
4000
Ahmedabád známy ako prvé k deťom prívetivé mesto v Indii.
05:35
So, you're getting the pattern. First 200 children at Riverside.
106
320000
3000
Vidíte teda, ako sa to vyvíja. Najprv 200 detí v Riverside.
05:38
Then 30,000 children in Ahmedabad, and growing.
107
323000
2000
Potom 30 000 detí v Ahmedabáde, a počet stále rastie.
05:40
It was time now to infect India.
108
325000
4000
Teraz nastal čas infikovať Indiu.
05:44
So, on August 15th,
109
329000
2000
Takže 15. augusta, znovu
05:46
again, Independence Day, 2009,
110
331000
3000
na Deň nezávislosti v roku 2009
05:49
empowered with the same process,
111
334000
2000
sme úplne rovnakým postupom
05:51
we empowered 100,000 children to say, "I can."
112
336000
5000
dali 100 000 deťom moc povedať "Ja môžem".
05:56
How? We designed a simple toolkit,
113
341000
2000
Ako? Vytvorili sme jednoduchú súpravu nástrojov,
05:58
converted it into eight languages,
114
343000
2000
preložili sme ju do ôsmich jazykov
06:00
and reached 32,000 schools.
115
345000
3000
a oslovili sme 32.000 škôl.
06:03
We basically gave children a very simple challenge.
116
348000
2000
V podstate sme dali deťom veľmi jednoduchú úlohu.
06:05
We said, take one idea,
117
350000
2000
Povedali sme: Zoberte si jeden nápad,
06:07
anything that bothers you,
118
352000
2000
čokoľvek, čo vás trápi,
06:09
choose one week,
119
354000
2000
vyberte si jeden týždeň,
06:11
and change a billion lives.
120
356000
2000
a zmeňte miliardu životov.
06:13
And they did. Stories of change
121
358000
2000
A oni to spravili. Rôzne príbehy o zmenách
06:15
poured in from all over India,
122
360000
3000
prichádzali z celej Indie,
06:18
from Nagaland in the east,
123
363000
2000
od Nagalandu na východe,
06:20
to Jhunjhunu in the west,
124
365000
2000
až po Jhunjhunu na západe,
06:22
from Sikkim in the north, to Krishnagiri in the south.
125
367000
3000
od Sikkimu na severe až po Krishnagiri na juhu.
06:25
Children were designing solutions for a diverse range of problems.
126
370000
3000
Deti prichádzali na riešenia celej škály rôznych problémov.
06:28
Right from loneliness to filling potholes in the street
127
373000
4000
Od samoty, cez opravy výmoľov na uliciach,
06:32
to alcoholism,
128
377000
2000
až po alkoholizmus.
06:34
and 32 children who stopped 16 child marriages
129
379000
2000
32 detí zastavilo 16 detských manželstiev
06:36
in Rajasthan.
130
381000
2000
v Rajastháne.
06:38
I mean, it was incredible.
131
383000
2000
Bolo to niečo úchvatné.
06:40
Basically again reaffirming that when adults believe in children
132
385000
3000
Znovu sa potvrdilo, že keď dospelí veria deťom
06:43
and say, "You can," then they will.
133
388000
3000
a povedia im "Môžeš - je to v tvojich silách", tak to deti aj spravia.
06:46
Infection in India.
134
391000
3000
Nákaza v Indii.
06:49
This is in Rajasthan, a rural village.
135
394000
2000
Toto je v Rajastáne, v jednej odľahlej dedine.
06:51
Child: Our parents are illiterate and we want to teach them how to read and write.
136
396000
8000
"Naši rodičia sú negramotní a my ich chceme naučiť čítať a písať"
07:00
KBS: First time, a rally and a street play in a rural school --
137
405000
3000
KBS: Prvý krát, zhromaždenie a hra na ulici vo vidieckej škole -
07:03
unheard of -- to tell their parents why literacy is important.
138
408000
4000
neslýchané - deti hovoria svojim rodičom prečo je gramotnosť dôležitá.
07:11
Look at what their parents says.
139
416000
4000
Všimnite si, čo hovoria ich rodičia.
07:15
Man: This program is wonderful.
140
420000
3000
"Tento program je výborný.
07:18
We feel so nice that our children can teach us how to read and write.
141

Je to úžasný pocit, že nás naše deti učia čítať a písať."

07:25
In the future, I will never doubt my students' abilities.
143

3000
V budúcnosti už NIKDY nebudem pochybovať o schopnostiach mojich študentov.
07:28
See? They have done it.
144
433000

"Toto je dom 581.
07:37

07:42
pretty difficult, but they did it.
149

je to ťažké, ale oni to dokázali.

"Aj napriek tomu, že sú takí mladí, spravili veľmi dobrú prácu.
07:50
First they have cleaned the society, then it will be Hyderabad, and soon India.
151
455000

Najprv vyčistili spoločnosť, následne Hyderabád a čoskoro to bude celá India."
07:57
Woman: It was a revelation for me. It doesn't strike me
152

Žena: Pre mňa to bolo ako zjavenie. Neprekvapuje ma,
08:00
that they had so much inside them.
153
465000
2000
že s v nich toho toľko skrýva.
08:03

154
468000
2000
Dievča: Ďakujem dámy a páni.
08:05

08:08

156
473000
2000
na podporu veľmi dobrého cieľa.

161
487000
2000
KBS: Takže Charta za súcit začína práve tu.
08:24
Street plays, auctions, petitions.
162
489000
3000
Pouličné hry, dražby, petície.
08:27
I mean, they were changing lives.
163
492000
3000
Oni naozaj menili životy.
08:30
It was incredible.
164
495000
2000
Bolo to neuveriteľné.
08:32
So, how can we still stay immune?
165
497000
2000
Ako môžeme voči tomuto ostať aj naďalej imúnni?
08:34
How can we stay immune to that passion, that energy, that excitement?
166
499000
4000
Ako môžeme zostať imúnny voči takému zanieteniu, energii a nadšeniu?
08:38
I know it's obvious,
167
503000
2000
Viem, že je to zrejmé,
08:40
but I have to end with the most powerful symbol of change, Gandhiji.
168
505000
4000
ale musím skončiť najsilnejším symbolom zmeny - Gándhidžim.
08:44
70 years ago, it took one man
169
509000
2000
Pred 70 rokmi stačil jeden muž
08:46
to infect an entire nation
170
511000
2000
aby nakazil celý národ
08:48
with the power of "We can."
171
513000
3000
silou motta "My môžeme".
08:51
So, today who is it going to take
172
516000
2000
Koho budeme potrebovať dnes na to,
08:53
to spread the infection from 100,000 children
173
518000
3000
aby rozšíril nákazu zo 100 000 detí
08:56
to the 200 million children in India?
174
521000
3000
na 200 miliónov detí v Indii?
08:59
Last I heard, the preamble still said, "We, the people of India," right?
175
524000
4000
Pokiaľ viem, v preambule je stále napísané "My, ľud Indie", je tak?
09:03
So, if not us, then who?
176
528000
2000
Ak teda nie my, tak kto?
09:05
If not now, then when?
177
530000
3000
Ak teda nie teraz, tak kedy?
09:08
Like I said, contagious is a good word.
178
533000
3000
Ako som povedala, nákazlivý je dobré slovo.
09:11
Thank you.
179
536000
2000
Ďakujem.
09:13

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Kiran Sethi - EducatorThe founder of the Riverside School in Ahmedabad, Kiran Sethi has launched an initiative to make our cities more child-friendly.
Why you should listen
Kiran Bir Sethi's early training as a designer is clear in her work as an educator -- she looks beyond what exists, to ask, "could we do this a better way?" In 2001, she founded the Riverside School in Ahmedabad, designing the primary school's curriculum (and its building) from the ground up. Based around six "Beacons of Learning," the school's lesson plan focuses on creating curious, competent future citizens. The school now enrolls almost 300 children and has franchised its curriculum widely.
Sethi's latest project, inspired by dialogue with the children of Riverside, is called AProCh -- which stands for "A Protagonist in every Child." Fighting the stereotype of modern kids as rude and delinquent, AProCh looks for ways to engage Ahmedabad's children in modern city life, and to revamp our cities to make room for kids to learn, both actively and by example.
