Theme: Filling The Void

There are unmet needs in our society that are being fulfilled by perceptive individuals and organisations. We see these voids in governance structures, businesses, education, sports, arts and many other aspects of our society and individual lives. How does one identify these voids and choose to fill it? Is there a need to fill it at all? Through the stories and talks at this TEDx, we hope to unravel the stories of these extraordinary men and women and their journey to fill this void.
