Theme: Transition: Waves of Breakthrough

Waves represent the transitions and limitless possibilities of life - wild, untamed, yet not entirely impossible to predict.

Waves are also metaphors for one’s emotions, thoughts, concerns, and aspirations that emerge when faced with transitions. Those waves become even stronger when our beliefs, values, and goals are challenged by waves of change being formed and reinforced every day in society.

A person's life has meaning and structure because of the waves of change that occur in it and within themselves. The question therefore arises - How can we stay in tune with the inevitable currents of life while riding our own waves?

In other words, how to catch the right wave and ride your own wave?

Taking waves as the central theme, TEDxRMIT promises to capture the tumultuous waves of youth through relevant topics to spark significant conversations. The event puts an emphasis on equipping the Vietnamese youths with the necessary knowledge and skills to create life breakthroughs in the time of epochal changes.
