Theme: [Re:]

The theme of the 2021 TEDxHongikU Event is [RE:].
[RE:] has an abbreviated meaning of doing something again, and sometimes going further to pursuing another creation or meaning through extracting new ideas from the action of repeating. Especially since the Covid-19 pandemic, it is a chance for us to look back into our lives and see what we could do better next time.
