- 17:58Da li ljudi mogu komunicirati bez zajedničkog jezika? | Edin Krnic | TEDxPodgoricaEdin Krnić je svjetski putnik, avanturista i autor koji je obišao više od stotinu zemalja, često boraveći u najzabačenijim krajevima svijeta, među ljudima koji govore jezike koje nikada ranije nije čuo. Kroz svoj govor, Edin prenosi snažnu poruku: da bismo se istinski razumjeli kao ljudska bića, nije nam potreban zajednički jezik. Njegova komunikacija dolazi iz otvorenog srca – iskrena, topla i puna poštovanja.Širom svijeta, on pruža ruku nepoznatima, ne praveći razliku među ljudima - bez obzira na to odakle dolaze, kojim jezikom govore, kojoj vjeri pripadaju ili čime se bave. U njegovom iskustvu, najdublje veze nastaju upravo onda kada se riječi povuku, a ostanu samo osmijeh, pogled i spremnost da se prihvati različitost. Kroz primjere sa svojih putovanja, Edin nas podsjeća da su ljudskost, empatija i radoznalost univerzalni jezici koji ne poznaju granice. A travel writer, documentarian, and the creator of the most-watched Montenegrin TV show “Around the World with Edin Krnić,” @montenegrogram has visited 153 countries and 19 territories, sharing everyday life with tribes such as the Himba, Zulu, Mursi, Dani, Maasai, and many others. His documentaries are not just visual records, but immersive journeys into other cultures, marked by respect, understanding, and an open heart.Through the lens of his camera and his personal experiences, Edin Krnić brings us authentic stories from the world’s margins - stories about nature, spirituality, and the universal values that connect us all, regardless of the language we speak.His message is a reminder that we build the future through empathy, dialogue, and a deep understanding of even the most distant communities, shaping a world where everyone has a place.

- 17:22Umjesto "ili" biraj "i" | Sonja Vasic | TEDxPodgoricaU ovom iskrenom i nadahnjujućem govoru, Sonja Vasić, nas vodi kroz svoje životne faze - od detinjstva ispunjenog snovima, preko izazova i trijumfa u profesionalnoj košarkaškoj karijeri, do uloge majke, supruge i sportske liderke. Kroz lična iskustva, povrede, sumnje i velike preokrete, Sonja govori o važnosti balansa, autentičnosti i vrijednosti koje nas vode kroz odluke. Njena poruka je snažna - da ne moramo birati između porodice i karijere, snage i ranjivosti, ambicije i mira. Umesto toga, možemo i moramo birati "I". Ovaj govor je poziv ženama da ostanu vjerne sebi, da se ne odriču svojih snova i da se usude da budu viđene - jer upravo u toj vidljivosti mogu da budu inspiracija nekoj djevojčici koja tek počinje da sanja. Throughout her distinguished career, Sonja Vasić played for top European clubs and WNBA teams, winning numerous medals with the Serbian national team, including an Olympic bronze and two gold medals at the European Championships.After retiring from professional play, she continued to shape the world of sports from a different angle - as Sports Director of the Olympic Committee of Serbia, Vice President of the FIBA Players’ Commission, and a member of the FIBA Central Board. She has furthered her expertise through prestigious international programs such as FIBA Timeout 2.0 and the WiLead initiative.Sonja speaks English, Spanish, and Russian - but most fluently, she speaks the language of sport and transformation, believing that the leadership gained on the court is just as valuable beyond it.
