Episode Transcript
[00:00:10] Speaker A: This is the owlcast, the official podcast of ACS Athens.
Listen to the exciting story of the american community schools of Athens.
Check out what drives all the members of our international community of learners as we create the education of the future.
Here's John Papadakis.
[00:00:47] Speaker B: Today's outcast is all about Ted Ed, the program that provides free, customizable activities for educators to support their students in identifying, developing and sharing their ideas with each other and the world. TED is known for its unique, branded and highly engaging presentations available to global audiences through local events and available online. Their motto is ideas change everything. When ideas are presented in an engaging, unique and entertaining way, they indeed can change mentalities, our view of our world and our disposition towards action. Developing a TED Ed club for students who participate in TED style presentation events cultivates essential skills such as public speaking, critical thinking, and creativity. These clubs provide a structured environment where students can explore topics that theyre passionate about, research extensively, and present their findings in a compelling manner. It has been found that this experience not only boosts their confidence, but also enhances their ability to communicate complex ideas effectively. Also, the process of preparing and delivering these presentations helps students develop a deeper understanding of their chosen subjects, fostering a love for lifelong learning. ACS Athens has been collaborating with other schools in these events as they broaden students perspectives and exposes them to diverse viewpoints and ideas. This interaction encourages a sense of community and cooperation among students from different backgrounds, promoting cultural exchange and understanding. Additionally, it creates opportunities for networking and building relationships that can be beneficial for future academic and career endeavors. Such collaborations also add an element of healthy competition, motivating students to strive for excellence and push the boundaries of their knowledge and presentation skills. Overall, a TED ed club that participates in inter school events is a powerful platform for student growth and development. According to Ted, there is a significant impact when students are not only asked about their passions and perspectives, but when they work to develop and share those ideas to a larger audience. Through the program, students develop both 21st century skills and are better prepared to advocate for the problems of today and the future. One such school that ACS Athens has partnered with is the dering school in the city of Leuven, located close to Brussels in Belgium. The students of the TED Club of this school visited us a few weeks ago and came to the studio where we found them eager to talk about their individual presentations. Their interaction with our own Ted club was truly inspiring. With us today is also one of the coordinators of the Aces Athens Dead Club, Stavi Dimas.
[00:03:45] Speaker C: So our connection with this school started a few years back when we began an Erasmus partnership, although we weren't part of the Erasmus part, but we still were in the partnership with five different partner schools, international schools from all over Europe. And when we went and we had our final culminating event last year in Perugia, we were, we really clicked with them and their students and their teachers, and we vibed with them. You know, we felt that there was a lot of similarities between us, so we decided to continue that collaboration.
[00:04:16] Speaker B: So were they presenting last year?
[00:04:18] Speaker C: Yeah, we all presented.
[00:04:19] Speaker B: It's a TED event.
[00:04:21] Speaker C: They were, yes. The actual Erasmus collaboration was around the TED club. So each one of these schools had their own version of the TED club. And we had, because of COVID we had more online meetings over the span of about three years. And in the end, we were able to do the final event of the TED talks that we'd been working on over these years, it face to face, which was wonderful.
[00:04:45] Speaker B: So Ted is a well known platform. Yes, it's a branded platform, very. And everybody who's involved in this kind of participation, this kind of an event, they go there for a specific purpose.
[00:04:57] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:04:57] Speaker B: What is this specific purpose that you go there for?
[00:05:00] Speaker C: So it starts off with their passion and it develops into what Ted calls and we call an idea worth sharing. So they're tweaking. This idea that originates, ignites, let's say, from their passion, and then they're ready to share it with the world.
[00:05:16] Speaker B: So these groups of students, they go around in Europe and they share these ideas in a TED style talk or presentation. So the first thing that I have in my mind is that they're trying to promote, to develop their presentation skills.
[00:05:31] Speaker C: Exactly.
[00:05:32] Speaker B: Their research skills goes through.
[00:05:34] Speaker C: I think it's twelve different steps. Basically, if you do the, do it the correct way, and each one of those steps develops a different part of what's going to end up in the speech. I mean, starting off, obviously, with brainstorming, identifying your passions, moving on to, let's say, in the middle, watching TEd talks as well, to learn a bit about the style, because TEd talks look very different from other types of speeches.
[00:05:58] Speaker B: What's the difference with Ted?
[00:06:00] Speaker C: It's more about connecting, I think, with your audience. You're not speaking at your audience, you're trying to involve your audience, get them on board with what you're thinking, what you believe, what you, your vision. And I think that's what makes TED talks really cool. And this year, actually, for our event, our school event, we're trying to even take that model and extend that and we're breaking the boundaries of presentation. That's actually the name of our event, which is next Thursday on May 30. And we're actually taking this TeD style, which is bringing in your audience. And we want to break that boundary and say, hey, come talk to our speakers, come talk to our TEd editors and learn about what they're going to share with you. Their idea. We're sharing.
[00:06:43] Speaker B: Well, that's the idea of our discussion today with these students. And I saw that they came also with our students in the studio here. They did.
[00:06:50] Speaker C: They had workshops. Yeah.
[00:06:51] Speaker B: What was the workshop all about?
[00:06:53] Speaker C: So the workshops are really cool. It was about, they have different workshops throughout the day, but it was also, it really began with this idea of, what do I do when I get in front of a camera? What is my speaking style? How can I become more comfortable?
How can I connect more with my audience through the camera? And then we moved from through the camera, we moved out of the media studio into actually doing theater related exercises. So we were laying on the floor, we were shouting, we were doing warm ups, and then we were giving each other feedback. We presented our speeches to each other, and we learned about the feedback loop, actually providing good quality feedback to each other in order to improve our speeches.
[00:07:33] Speaker B: So May 30 is our Ted event here.
[00:07:36] Speaker C: We're so excited. 415 exactly.
[00:07:40] Speaker B: So it's going to be exciting to hear the ideas of the school is here from Belgium. And from what I overheard, you know, their ideas are quite original.
[00:07:50] Speaker C: They are. Yeah.
[00:07:51] Speaker B: So, and we're gonna hear our ideas at some point after May 30. So, Miss Dimas, thank you so much. Who else is involved in this project here in the school?
[00:08:00] Speaker C: So we have this year, Mister Januzzi is heading up. He's the head advisor for the high school, for the academy club.
But all years past, it's been Miss Rocha. She's worked so hard over the years, and she actually was the one who created this original collaboration with these partner schools. So. And then there's myself and, you know, all of you who are helping us out, obviously, everyone in the theater. I mean, it's a whole process. The writing studio, I mean, we're just so thankful to everyone they're teachers. We might even get some CAS students in this year to help us out for their Cas hours, to just, you know, kind of get the whole community together. The PTO is helping out. So it's just, it's a. It's a process.
[00:08:37] Speaker B: You know, it's an experience.
[00:08:38] Speaker C: It's an experience and it's an interactive experience as well. There you go.
[00:08:41] Speaker B: Thank you so much. Let's hear what the students have to say.
[00:08:44] Speaker C: Yes. Thanks.
[00:08:48] Speaker B: So we have a group from which school? Here.
[00:08:52] Speaker D: The ring in Loewe.
[00:08:53] Speaker B: Okay. And you're here for what reason?
[00:08:57] Speaker E: To give our TED talk presentations.
[00:09:00] Speaker B: So this is a TED presentation of different schools. And you're here to present from your school. You're all from the same school, correct?
[00:09:08] Speaker D: Yes.
[00:09:09] Speaker B: Okay. So let's take turns and present yourself so that people understand that we have six students here to participate in the TED talk presentations. Okay.
[00:09:22] Speaker D: So I'm Yitzhe and I'm 18 years old.
[00:09:25] Speaker B: 18 years old. So you're a senior?
[00:09:27] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:09:27] Speaker B: You're graduating next year? This year?
[00:09:29] Speaker D: This year.
[00:09:30] Speaker B: When is the end of the year?
[00:09:32] Speaker D: The end of June.
[00:09:33] Speaker B: End of June. So a little bit more than two months from now. Okay.
[00:09:37] Speaker E: I'm Chiara and I'm almost 18 years old.
[00:09:41] Speaker B: Okay. Same school? Yes.
[00:09:43] Speaker F: Yes. I am Nika, and I'm also 18 years old.
[00:09:47] Speaker B: A little bit closer to the mic, but that's okay.
[00:09:49] Speaker D: Okay.
[00:09:50] Speaker B: All right. Yes.
[00:09:52] Speaker G: I'm bueno. I'm also 18 years old.
[00:09:54] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:09:55] Speaker H: I am amos, and I'm also 18 years old.
[00:09:58] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:09:59] Speaker I: I'm Xilopia, and I'm also 18 years old and is 17.
[00:10:05] Speaker B: So we have two. Almost 18. And the rest of them are all 18.
[00:10:09] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:10:10] Speaker B: So. So, first of all, is there a reason why you prepared a TED presentation? Are you in, you know, part of a club in your school? Is there a club in your school about this?
[00:10:21] Speaker F: No. It was like, we had one class, like, 1 hour in a week, and you need to choose, like, what you wanted to do, and then if you wanted to make a TED talk, you could. And we all.
[00:10:33] Speaker B: So this is the group that always chose to make it? Yes.
[00:10:36] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:10:37] Speaker D: We had a seminar hour, and you had to fill it in, and one of the choices was making a TED talk.
[00:10:42] Speaker F: Yes.
[00:10:43] Speaker D: Okay, so each.
[00:10:45] Speaker B: Have you been watching Ted talks in general?
[00:10:48] Speaker F: A little bit, yes.
[00:10:50] Speaker B: What. What made you think that this is a cool thing to do and why do you want to do it? Why? I mean, think of yourself when you were watching the TED talk of your, you know, the preference of you. Of the TED talk of your preference, and you say, oh, I would like to see that. I mean, do you remember something that stands out and said, I want to do that.
[00:11:12] Speaker H: I think it's a great experience to learn and talk in front of a lot of people.
[00:11:17] Speaker B: Okay.
Yes. Okay.
[00:11:21] Speaker F: Yeah. For me, I would like to be more confident talking to a big audience.
[00:11:26] Speaker E: You are very confident for you to be here.
[00:11:31] Speaker B: It shows that you have some confidence.
[00:11:33] Speaker F: Yeah, but I would like to do it more to be fluent and feel. Feel like, how do you say, like, feel more secure, more secure in yourself when you present.
[00:11:46] Speaker B: Why do you think this is important?
[00:11:48] Speaker I: Just in every job you can need it, I think.
[00:11:51] Speaker D: Yeah. Every aspect of your life you need confidence, too.
[00:11:55] Speaker B: Okay, so, Ted, talk equals confidence in talking to other people.
[00:12:00] Speaker G: What else Ted can help?
[00:12:02] Speaker B: Do you think it helps with any other skill that you might need? I mean, you're coming to present on a topic. Correct.
So how do you prepare for that topic?
[00:12:12] Speaker H: I think it's good to learn and find things about your topic and learn how to use sources online.
[00:12:24] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:12:25] Speaker F: Yes. And learn about something you're interested about.
Okay.
[00:12:30] Speaker B: So let's go around and talk about the topics that you have already chosen so you can tell us what is the topic, how did you choose it, and what do you think someone listening to you or hearing you or seeing you on stage is going to get out of? So let's start.
[00:12:49] Speaker I: Okay. My talk is about the ripple effect of kindness. So how if one person is kind to another person, it sets off a chain reaction and really makes an impact.
And I want to bring a message to the audience to be that first person in the chain reaction.
And it can just be a simple act. Smiling to someone across the street or talking to your mom after school.
[00:13:25] Speaker B: What made you choose that topic? Do you think there is a lack of kindness?
[00:13:32] Speaker I: Yeah, maybe. I experienced the chain reaction myself because I had a really bad day and someone was just really kind to me and it made my day, which made me kinder.
And it's just an experience I wanted to share with, like, the audience and everyone I know.
[00:13:55] Speaker B: So do you think that experiencing kindness is enough or passing the kindness?
[00:14:01] Speaker I: I think that if you experience kindness, you automatically pass it.
[00:14:07] Speaker B: Okay. All right, who wants to talk next?
[00:14:13] Speaker H: I'll talk about my topics. I chose.
[00:14:16] Speaker B: Be kind now.
[00:14:17] Speaker H: Yes, I chose the topic fake news on social media and the influence on YouTube.
[00:14:25] Speaker B: Okay, why do you think this is important?
[00:14:28] Speaker H: I think it's important because a lot of youth uses social media, and I have a lot of sources that say that most of the youth get their news from social media. And I think if you get your news from social media, it has to be true news and not fake news.
[00:14:47] Speaker B: Okay. Are you a user of social media?
[00:14:50] Speaker H: Yes, I am.
[00:14:51] Speaker B: How many hours a day do you think you use social media?
[00:14:55] Speaker H: I deleted a couple of apps, but I think now around 1 hour 1 hour and a half, maybe a day.
[00:15:04] Speaker B: Is it to catch up with friends, or do you want to send a message, or do you want to get the news from it?
[00:15:14] Speaker H: I think I get my news from it, but also just watch funny videos.
[00:15:19] Speaker B: Okay. Funny videos. That's a form of entertainment, right?
[00:15:22] Speaker H: Yes.
[00:15:23] Speaker B: And. Okay, so someone who comes to see you. It's tomorrow, right? Someone who comes to see you tomorrow. What do you want them to get out of your presentation?
[00:15:35] Speaker H: I think to learn how to.
[00:15:41] Speaker G: See.
[00:15:41] Speaker H: That something is fake news. I think.
[00:15:45] Speaker B: But do you think we have a lot of fake news?
[00:15:48] Speaker H: Yes, I think so. On social media.
But I think the point of my TED talk is to inform people and just let them think about it.
[00:16:00] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. Well, we could have a whole podcast just on that topic, like with any of your topics from what you told me before. But let's go on, please.
[00:16:09] Speaker F: My TED talk is about the power of unfinished art. And yes, I'm an art student in my school, and so I'm interested in art. And I think in, like, museums and in just our society, we are really focused on perfection and completion. And I think when you see something that is incomplete, we get, like.
I get. And I think a lot of people get more attracted to it because you see something more, like, vulnerable or something.
Like something.
[00:16:41] Speaker B: There's a lot of symbolism in this, right?
[00:16:43] Speaker F: Yes, yes.
[00:16:44] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:16:44] Speaker F: So that's why I wanted to talk about then that perfection is not always the best. What we see in.
[00:16:51] Speaker B: What's the difference between unfinished art and broken art, I think.
Or what's the similarity? You know why I'm asking. I've seen. I'm pretty sure you've seen these broken vases that they have in Japan.
[00:17:05] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:17:06] Speaker B: And they say when you break it and you put gold.
[00:17:09] Speaker F: Ah, yes, yes.
[00:17:10] Speaker B: And you glue it with gold, that's much more precious than the actual unbroken vase. So there is a word for it. I'm trying to remember, but I don't right now. So, unfinished art, what does that tell you? And what do you want your audience to get out of it? I think it's not just a point of information. I mean, you want the audience to experience something, right?
[00:17:37] Speaker F: Yes. And I will show some art that I really like that has never been finished. And some is because people died or some is because they just liked it more when it was not finished.
[00:17:52] Speaker B: So what's the conclusion about unfinished art? That's the theme?
[00:17:57] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:17:58] Speaker B: What do you want me to get out of this? I mean, this is not just informing me that there is incomplete art.
[00:18:04] Speaker F: I think, like, we don't always need to finish something to be meaningful.
[00:18:12] Speaker A: You are listening to the owlcast, the official podcast of ACs Athens.
[00:18:20] Speaker B: Stay with us as we talk to the students from the belgian school de ring from Leuven, who discussed their TED talk ideas. Their topics include setting off the chain of reaction of kindness, fake news on social media, and influence on youth, the power of unfinished art, the importance of blood donations, lucid dreaming, being aware of the fact that you are dreaming. And why should we understand what dogs are thinking?
[00:18:53] Speaker D: I'm doing my talk about blood donation, and I chose it because I've always wanted to do, and when I turned 18, I donated blood and I found it a really important experience.
So I want to share.
[00:19:11] Speaker B: This is an important topic for any humanitarian kind of work. Correct? Are you involved in any kind of humanitarian effort in general, as a volunteer?
[00:19:20] Speaker D: As a. Yeah, I regularly donate blood.
[00:19:24] Speaker B: Okay, so you want the audience to be convinced to donate blood more.
[00:19:31] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:19:31] Speaker D: And spread the word and why it's so important to do so.
[00:19:35] Speaker B: Okay.
Do you need to be kind to do that?
You definitely need to be kind.
[00:19:41] Speaker D: It's an act of kindness.
[00:19:42] Speaker B: It's an act of kindness. Exactly. Exactly.
[00:19:46] Speaker G: I'm gonna do my TED talk about lucid dreaming.
[00:19:49] Speaker B: About lucid dreaming, yes. Okay. You need to describe that now.
[00:19:52] Speaker G: Yeah. So, lucid dreaming is when you get aware of the fact that you're dreaming, and then you can be in control of your dream. So, for example, if you want to fly in your dream, you just imagine it and you're flying. But it's only possible when you're aware that you're dreaming.
[00:20:11] Speaker B: So it's a matter of being aware in general. So you have a loose. Okay. Has it happened to you?
[00:20:19] Speaker G: Yeah, accidentally, a couple of times did I realize it, but I immediately tried to wake up from it because I didn't know what it was back then. But once I figured out that it is actual concept, I was very fascinated and I watched many videos about it, and that's where my fascination comes from.
[00:20:40] Speaker B: Okay. Anything that surprised you from your research that you want to share either here or tomorrow with your.
[00:20:47] Speaker G: Yes, yes. I realized that there were also a couple of dangers compared to lucid dreaming.
For example, sleep paralyze, so you can get paralyzed when you wake up for a couple of minutes. And that can be a very scary experience.
[00:21:05] Speaker B: Okay. So if, let's say someone experiences what you just described. Okay. What is your message?
[00:21:15] Speaker G: My message? I think that you shouldn't be traumatized by it. I think lucid dreaming is a beautiful concept, and the dangers shouldn't scare you away from trying it because I think it can be more helpful than it can be dangerous.
[00:21:32] Speaker B: That has nothing to do with daydreaming, is it?
[00:21:35] Speaker G: No. No.
[00:21:36] Speaker B: Okay. I just wanted to make sure. Yes, because there are a lot of daydreamers out there.
[00:21:41] Speaker G: Yes.
[00:21:41] Speaker B: Also, that's a little different, right? Yes.
[00:21:43] Speaker G: Yes, that's something different. Okay.
[00:21:45] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:21:46] Speaker E: I'm doing my TED talk about dogs and how they see and experience our world. Yeah.
[00:21:55] Speaker B: Okay. You have to describe it a little bit more. Do you have a dog, first of all?
[00:21:58] Speaker E: Yes, my dog is Timpa.
[00:22:00] Speaker B: Okay. How old is it?
[00:22:02] Speaker E: She's one and a half.
[00:22:04] Speaker B: One and a half. And does the fact that you have a dog affected your decision to do this topic?
[00:22:11] Speaker E: Yeah, I think so. Because my dog is. She's a border collie. I don't know if you. Yeah. And so they're very difficult dogs, I would say.
[00:22:20] Speaker B: Really difficult personalities.
[00:22:22] Speaker E: Yeah.
Yeah. My dog, for example, and I've heard other dog owners tell me that their border collies are like. They go around the table. My border Collie goes around the table when we just were all quiet around the table. But she. Yeah, she gets crazy and she runs around the table and I don't know why.
[00:22:46] Speaker B: Maybe she's trying to make up for the lost energy of everybody.
[00:22:50] Speaker E: Yeah, I think so. No, I think maybe she wants us to know that she's working for us.
[00:22:56] Speaker B: That's an interesting idea. So I don't have a dog, and I'm coming to watch your presentation.
Why should I watch your presentation?
[00:23:05] Speaker E: We all want to know what animals are thinking and why.
[00:23:10] Speaker B: Why should we know what animals are thinking?
[00:23:13] Speaker E: Because it's interesting.
[00:23:16] Speaker B: It's something different.
[00:23:18] Speaker E: Yeah, I think it's interesting also because their brains are fairly similar to ours and so we can also understand ourselves better, I think.
[00:23:32] Speaker B: Okay. Do you think that this particular topic has anything to do with empathy?
[00:23:37] Speaker E: Yes, I think so. Because a lot of time ago, or not a lot, really, dogs were just used for hunting, for example, and they didn't get a lot of love. And I think it's important that we give them love.
[00:23:57] Speaker B: Very important topics. Very fascinating. I mean, again, as I said, for each of these topics, we could do a podcast on its own. We don't have the time, but hopefully. Who's with media? Someone said something about me. You, maybe you created podcast and do one podcast and one episode per project.
[00:24:17] Speaker H: Maybe I should.
[00:24:18] Speaker B: There you go. There you go. My last question. Okay. And you can say or not. Whatever. It's up to you. If you didn't have the topic that you have chosen, thinking of what everybody else is doing, which one would you.
[00:24:33] Speaker D: Choose to listen to or to.
[00:24:36] Speaker B: To do?
[00:24:37] Speaker F: Not to listen, like, to do the TED talk about the kindness. Because it's like, I don't know, I feel like it's really an important topic. I think every topic is important, but I can relate to it most because I don't. I do not have a dog. I do not donate blood yet.
[00:24:59] Speaker B: And you should start. You should start.
[00:25:02] Speaker F: Yes, I should.
[00:25:03] Speaker I: But you should get a dog.
[00:25:07] Speaker B: See, if I would have. That's the easiest way to do. Right?
[00:25:11] Speaker F: Yeah. And I think, like, when I heard something about it, I felt like, ah, yes, it's true. I feel the same. And.
[00:25:18] Speaker B: Right.
[00:25:19] Speaker F: It's interesting.
[00:25:20] Speaker B: Right. I think there was a project at some point past the kindness or something. I don't know if you've seen a series of videos about that. You know, check it out. I mean, that's. That's an interesting topic. All right, one vote for the kindness. Let's go.
[00:25:35] Speaker D: Yeah, I would. I would do the.
[00:25:37] Speaker B: The kindness.
[00:25:38] Speaker D: One kindness as well.
[00:25:40] Speaker B: Two o's for kindness. All right. What else?
[00:25:43] Speaker E: Well, to change things, I will choose Nika's art, unfinished art. One.
[00:25:51] Speaker B: Okay. Do you think that you have things to give about this topic?
[00:25:55] Speaker E: Yeah, I really like looking at art.
[00:25:59] Speaker D: I don't know.
[00:26:00] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:26:01] Speaker B: What's your favorite museum?
[00:26:04] Speaker E: The Kullermuller. You know, where is this in the Netherlands? It's in the south.
[00:26:10] Speaker B: Is it? What kind of art do they host?
[00:26:13] Speaker E: They have, I think, the second most van Gogh paintings.
[00:26:17] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:26:18] Speaker E: And I really like Van Gogh. And they show, like, his whole, his whole evolution.
[00:26:23] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:26:24] Speaker E: Like, from the Arduvel persons right to the flowers. And it's just very different. And I like that.
[00:26:31] Speaker B: Okay. All right, let's go to the other three. Let's see.
[00:26:36] Speaker H: I would do it about dogs.
[00:26:39] Speaker B: Okay. Do you have a dog?
[00:26:41] Speaker H: Yeah, I also have a dog.
[00:26:42] Speaker B: Is it strange like hers or.
[00:26:45] Speaker H: Sometimes, not always.
Okay. I have a finnish lapunt.
[00:26:50] Speaker B: Okay. So you do it on how dogs.
[00:26:54] Speaker E: How dogs see our world.
[00:26:56] Speaker B: See a world. Okay. Okay. It's a general statement, but it gives you a lot of things to think about. Right. Okay. And what's your alternate topic?
[00:27:05] Speaker G: I would choose the fake news in social media.
[00:27:09] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:27:09] Speaker G: Because we youth, we use a lot of social media. So I think it's a very important topic.
[00:27:15] Speaker B: Excellent. Excellent. That's very nice. Very nicely divided. But we have. Did you say yours?
[00:27:22] Speaker I: Not yet.
[00:27:22] Speaker B: Oh, okay. All right? You're too kind. Okay, let's go.
[00:27:26] Speaker I: I can't decide.
I would maybe choose the dog one, but I have a cat, so I would change it. That's a nice twist because she acts crazy, but then a moment after that, she's asleep, and then a moment after that, she's running across the house. So I'd like to know why.
[00:27:46] Speaker B: Because of the dog that's going around the chairs.
[00:27:48] Speaker G: Yes.
[00:27:49] Speaker I: But the donating blood I find very interesting and important. My mom donates blood, and I heard they don't have enough donors.
But, like, everyone can be in an accident. And if I had an accident and I had lost a lot of blood, then there wasn't so important. Just that.
[00:28:12] Speaker B: So important.
I think that was a very fascinating discussion. I don't know about you guys, but I would like to wish you best of success tomorrow.
[00:28:23] Speaker F: Thank you very much.
[00:28:24] Speaker H: Thank you.
[00:28:25] Speaker B: Don't lose your words. And if you do, improvise. Yes, we will enjoy your stay.
[00:28:31] Speaker D: Thank you.
[00:28:31] Speaker H: Thank you.
[00:28:32] Speaker G: Thank you.
[00:28:32] Speaker H: Bye bye.
