now when we are all refreshed let’s talk
about future of social care in the next
few slides I will show you some random
selected pictures of people and I would
like to ask you to ask yourself one
question what do I feel when I see
like I could imagine some of pictures
made you smile some of them made you
said and some of them made you may be
nostalgic or proud and even if we don’t
know people if there is someone that we
knew just from picture or from some
story and we know that sad story about
them we have some needs to help we will
have need to share their story maybe to
donate some money or to help on some
other way but so what is that that we
want to help people even if we don’t
know them it’s because we have some
emotion that is helping us to help other
even we if we are not involved in their
life but what if the question was
different what if the question is what
would I do if I ever is in his or her
shoes when we think about people that we
don’t know we want to help them but
eventually we will forget their story
and we will think that some other people
will make action will help more but if
we are involved in that situation if we
are some from some people from the
picture or someone close to us is on
that picture we will have more courage
more energy and more willingness to help
we will provide better circumstances and
we would like for mother to help also
when we started to work with students
future preschool teachers we wanted them
to knew about inclusion about children
with special needs and about children
who live on the margins we wanted them
to be involved so we teach them how to
listen real people real situations but
not listen with their own assumptions
and within or beliefs just to listen
and feel other people and to feel their
story and to feel their choices because
it’s really important that we all know
that we are different and that we need
to empower other people too so for me
the first main thing for a future of
Social Care is that question what would
I do if I were in his or her shoes what
would be different so the first thing
would be to acknowledge other people
acknowledge their stories acknowledge
their lives and acknowledge their
choices the second thing would be to
encourage them to show them that they
are important as we are that they worth
as we are and they are not invisible
that we hear them speak we can hear them
see them and respect them now I will
show you some video of a guy a bad guy
it is my foot
[Music]
[Music]
a little etiquette

when people from TEDx Martin asked me to
come here to speak I was really thrilled
happy and I of course had yes but also I
was scared
why because I knew that is better for me
to speak in English and when I speak in
Serbian I’m more more fluent
I have better self-esteem and I’m sure
that the vision I want to share with you
you will understood but when I speak in
English I mean I’m more vulnerable I’m I
needed to go step out to step out of my
comfort zone and to just try people who
have some disabilities need to be out of
their comfort zone in every day and in
every moment of their life so it’s
really important for us and for them
also to show them that they are not
invisible and that we are trying to
provide better better world for all of
us and the third important thing is to
give people in our space and enough and
opportunity to be themselves to be what
they can be and want to be and when I
asked my grandma is she happy
she said strongly yes when I asked her
that she know that we love her so much
she said of course that’s the most
important thing my grandma lived in home
for elderly people
she has Alzheimer disease and she lives
in a present moment she rarely
recognized us but she always smile when
she sees us she sometimes speak with us
and sometimes even laughs and she taught
us to live in a present moment and to
celebrate life so my vision for the
future of Social Care is to provide
better services for elderly people also
to create some home for elderly people
will they have occupational therapy and
will they and where they can be whatever
they want to be where they can work and
where they can feel that their life is
meaningful and worth worth
even if they are old now so like Abraham
Lincoln said if you want to if you want
to okay I forget if you want to create I
knew that I will forget it
okay the main thing that I wanted to say
and it’s the lost is that if we want to
create better future for all of us and
if you want to create better future
future of Social Care we need to be
involved and so I would like to ask you
to start let me start together with this
one question what would I feel or what
would I do if I ever in his or her shoes
