Theme: Pause

Living in a world of rapid changes, we often forget to take a moment to relieve ourselves from the present. Let the hands of all clocks be at rest, lest we forget ourselves in time’s unforgiving path. We take a step away from reality, focus less and we shall perceive more. In the absence of time, we seek the unspoken opinions of our community and meet inspiring ideas from remarkable individuals. TEDxYouth@ReddamHouse upholds ideas worth spreading in our local community and pause our lives to pursue more in them.
