8
Thank you.
9
Thank you.
10
Mwah!
11
Two years ago, I launched a campaign called He for She at the UN in New York.
12
I was very nervous before that speech.
13
The nerves were followed by a tremendous high immediately afterwards, and a crashing low a few days after that.
14
My best hopes and my worst fears were confirmed all at once.
15
I had opened Pandora's box to a standing ovation
16
and almost simultaneously a level of critique I had never experienced in my life
17
and the beginning of what would become a series of threats.
18
The last two years have been a baptism of fire, to say the least, where I learnt just how little I know.
19
And also, how much?
20
It was my scary first step as an activist, a word I never imagined that I would use to describe myself.
21
So reading the applications of activists who applied here for One Young World scholarships, was...
22
surprising to me.
23
Here I was reading the stories of people from nearly 200 different countries from around the world, Thank you.
24
with experiences that I couldn't even imagine.
25
I mean, I really just, they were so out of this world to me.
26
And yet, Thank you.
27
Their notes look like my notes.
28
The same themes emerged over and over and over again.
29
There was so much overlap with the things that I had been thinking about and that I had been struggling with.
30
Because the truth is, it had never been about being an activist.
31
It was about the choice to make myself visible, and the choices that you made to do that too.
32
Apart from the significant progress the world has made in the cause for equality, the best thing about the last two years has been this.
33
Finding people from such disparate experiences and communities that I found that I have something in common with.
34
This is a community of artists,
35
spiritual teachers, dreamers, thinkers, doers who work together and support each other.
36
For the first time in my life, I found my sisterhood, a brotherhood, whatever, however you want to describe it.
37
I found my tribe.
38
My hope for you while you're here is that you will find some of your tribe too.
39
I really needed mine.
40
Bobby Kennedy, when he was senator for New York,
41
said: Each time a man or woman stands up for an ideal,
42
or acts to improve the lots of others, or strikes out against injustice.
43
he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.
44
and crossing each other from a million different centres of energy Those ripples build a current that can sweep down,
45
the mightiest wall of oppression. and resistance.
46
That's what we are doing.
47
We, the entire spectrum of the feminist movement,
48
are building an unstoppable current for which we need ripples of hope from every age,
49
race, ability, walk of life, from every human experience.
50
I feel gender equality is as important as any of the other goals that we are here to discuss.
51
And actually, if anything, it is even more important because it intersects with every single other issue that we face.
52
We all have...
53
feminine and masculine energies within us.
54
And both forces need to be lifted up, respected.
55
They need to work together in order to make the world go round.
56
Thank you.
57
Each of you are here at One Young World because you do something important.
58
And it is so exciting to see you all come together in one room
59
because One Young World isn't about saying what I, each of us individually, can do.
60
but what we can do.
61
Working together, supporting and listening to each other.
62
It's in that spirit
63
that I am delighted to introduce nine activists who were the first recipients of a One Young World scholarship
64
that I am very honoured to have in my name.
65
They are working to secure real progress towards a gender equal world.
66
And I hope that their stories will inspire you as much as they have inspired me.
67
In a moment, I'm going to ask them to come onto the stage.
68
But before I do, I want to offer a few statements of my own
69
that I have struggled with and continue to struggle with on a daily basis, but that I have found inspiring.
70
I want to ask you to take a moment.
71
You can keep your eyes closed or keep them open.
72
And I want to ask you to take a moment.
73
Ask yourself if these have any truth for you in them.
74
Thank you.
75
Thank you.
76
I am willing to be seen.
77
I am willing. to speak up.
78
I'm willing to keep going.
79
Thank you.
80
Yeah.
81
I am willing to listen to what others have to say.
82
Thank you.
83
I'm willing to go forward even when I feel alone.
84
- Yes.
85
I am willing to go to bed each night at peace with myself.
86
Thank you.
87
I am willing to be my biggest, bestest, most powerful, Self.
88
Thank you.
89
These seven statements scare the absolute shit out of me.
90
But I know I'm that they are at the crux of it all.
91
At the end of the day, and when all is said and done, Thank you.
92
I know that these are the ways that I want to have lived my life.
93
I know each one of you probably will have encountered one of these statements in the last 48 hours.
94
And if you have, Thank you for being here.
95
I appreciate it.
96
It's truly an honour to be here with you all.
97
Thank you.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
