TED Talk Tuesday #296 – Pope Francis on inclusion

TED continues to spread ideas and help us all be better critical thinkers. Watching, listening and talking about TED Talks is a popular pastime for many in the CN&CO community. We visit TED.com regularly to clear our heads, have a laugh, learn or get inspired. TED Talks open our minds, spark new ways of thinking and can lead to some very interesting conversations and business opportunities. Each month we pick a favourite and publish it on a Tuesday, because we like how “TED Talk Tuesday” sounds. It’s also a way that the CN&CO team play their part in spreading ideas and helping to make the world a better place.

Why the only future worth building includes everyone

In this powerful TED Talk delivered from Vatican City, the late Pope Francis reminds us that hope doesn’t require grand gestures. It begins with a single individual, and that individual can be you!

Speaking to people of all faiths, to those in positions of influence and those without, he offers a heartfelt reflection on the state of the world today. With a call for equality, solidarity and tenderness, Pope Francis challenges us to see beyond statistics and numbers, and to recognise our shared humanity.

“We all need each other,” he says — an invitation to build a future grounded in compassion and connection.
