“What Makes a Humanitarian” | Erin Kilborn | TEDxUniversityofGlasgow
Dictionaries define a humanitarian as someone who works to better humanity. In this talk, Erin challenges this mainstream definition and argues that it is much more than that. Through her own journey, she shares a few key points that can either make or break one’s experience as a humanitarian.
A doctor, a humanitarian, an explorer, Erin Kilborn is a Glasgow-trained physician working both on the front lines of the NHS in Scotland and in with organisations such as MSF (Doctors without Borders) as an expedition doctor in environments such as the jungles of Borneo, post-earthquake Haiti, the capital of the war-torn Central African Republic or the Peruvian Amazon.

Humanitarian Aid or Harm? The UNRWA Controversy Explained
In this episode of Insight360 Europe edition, we delve into the escalating scandal surrounding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). Recent allegations have emerged that UNRWA employees were involved in the October 7 attacks on Israel, leading to a significant international response. Major countries, including the United States, Britain, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Finland, Australia, and Canada, have suspended their contributions, citing concerns over neutrality and integrity.

In this Short Film we hear a stirring personal statement from the narrator of LIFE Before Death, David Suchet.
"My interest in pain control and palliative care comes from my own personal life experiences. Experiences I'm certain many of you also share. It is concerns me deeply that four out of every five people do not have adequate access to essential pain medicines, or to the palliative care services that transform the end of our life experience for patients and families alike. I was fortunate enough to watch both my mother and father die 'well'. And if that is well, it's not good enough."
"We're all going die and I believe that each and every one of us deserves the utmost respect and professional care at the end of life. This includes the universal human right to pain control. I encourage you to spread the word about this critically important humanitarian cause so that we can, each and every one of us, one day, be confident of living well and dying better."
Popular British screen, stage and radio actor David Suchet is a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE), an associate artist and governor of the Royal Shakespeare Company and a Doctor of Letters of the University of Kent. He was awarded an OBE in The Queen's 2002 Birthday Honours for services to drama. David is perhaps best known for his portrayals of Agatha Christie's Poirot (Best actor nomination, BAFTA) and Maxwell (Emmy Award Best Actor). David's other popular film and television credits include The Bank Job, A Perfect Murder, Sunday (Sundance Best Actor nomination), Executive Decision, Song for Europe (Best Actor, RTS Awards), A World Apart (Best Actor nomination, BAFTA), Going Postal, Diverted, NCS: The Series, The Way We Live Now (Best Actor nomination, BAFTA), Blott on the Landscape (Best Actor, BAFTA) and The Life of Freud (Best Actor, RTS Awards).

In this episode of Insight360 Europe edition, we delve into the escalating scandal surrounding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). Recent allegations have emerged that UNRWA employees were involved in the October 7 attacks on Israel, leading to a significant international response. Major countries, including the United States, Britain, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Finland, Australia, and Canada, have suspended their contributions, citing concerns over neutrality and integrity. This decision has wiped out over 55% of UNRWA's current budget, posing a severe threat to its humanitarian missions.

This episode aims to shed light on the complex dynamics at play within UNRWA and the challenging balance between supporting humanitarian causes and ensuring aid is not misused. As this situation unfolds, we invite you to consider the larger picture of ethical responsibility and the need for stringent oversight in global aid.

An endurance athlete, Rob DeCou shares how he moved from DNF’s (Did Not Finish) to finishing the Uberman, and becoming the 7th Uberman finisher in the world. He explains how connecting to a cause and building a team allows him to cross the finish line and make a difference for himself, his team, and all who are in difficult situations they did not choose. Rob DeCou is an entrepreneur, educator and an ultra-endurance athlete who uses his passions and abilities for the purpose of raising awareness and building community around important issues.
In 2020, Rob became the 7th person to complete the world’s toughest ultra-triathlon, the Uberman, raising over $55,000 to fight human trafficking. In 2019, Rob swam across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Port Angeles, Washington to Victoria, Canada to prevent trafficking. In 2017, Rob completed the world’s toughest foot race, a 146-mile run across Death Valley to the top of Mt. Whitney, raising over $700,000 for End Polio Now. In 2016, Rob completed the solo Race Across America, known as the world’s toughest bicycle race -- a 3,000-mile journey -- to fund brain cancer research.
Rob is also the Founder & CEO of Lux Virtual, a full-service digital marketing agency designed to illuminate brilliant ideas through video and animation storytelling, augmented reality, websites, and social media content.
