Theme: Pause

PAUSE: ON THE TURN

If “Press play” is the starting point of the journey, then “Pause” is the next step to take.

Daring to try, to experience and to confront something unfamiliar is definitely burdensome. Nevertheless, starting a new journey means accepting unexpected risks. There will be hardships, barriers and struggles in our way, hence, always keep a conscious mindset for any problems arising after “Press play”.

Every straight path is followed by many turns and corners. So, when we are “On the turn”, how about taking a short break, taking a pause! Pause does not mean giving up, it's just a precious moment to get a sight of the past, the present, and our next step. “Pause” is the invaluable moment when we allow ourselves to critically reflect on our journeys to clarify our utmost needs.The hidden value of external impacts such as the surroundings, mankind’s culture, civilization, or internal factors and perceptions are too sophisticated to expose and understand.

This year, TEDxBUV 2021 presents to you the theme “PAUSE: On the turn” as the next journey of “Press play”, where more ideas are brought back to discussion. Join us to discover and understand more about the hidden value of different aspects, hence, help each and everyone of us discover ourselves.
