Vocês têm uma T-shirt ou uns "jeans" favoritos que transformam e vos fazem sentir confiantes, fazem-vos sentir vocês mesmos? Isso é porque o que vestimos afecta a nossa disposição, a nossa saúde e o amor próprio, de acordo com a estilista Mindy Scheier. Inspirada pelo filho que nasceu com uma doença degenerativa que lhe torna difícil vestir-se ou usar roupa com botões ou fechos, Scheier decidiu fazer vestuário funcional para todos, incluindo pessoas com deficiências. Saibam mais sobre como ela fez história na moda, ao produzir a primeira linha de roupa adaptada corrente.

Every year, TED works with a group of select companies and foundations to identify internal ideators, inventors, connectors, and creators. Drawing on the same rigorous regimen that has prepared speakers for the TED main stage, TED Institute works closely with each partner, overseeing curation and providing intensive one-on-one talk development to sharpen and fine tune ideas. The culmination is an event produced, recorded, and hosted by TED, generating a growing library of valuable TED Talks that can spur innovation and transform organizations.
