TEDxDESC Youth is a platform that empowers visionaries to share their groundbreaking ideas, thought-provoking concepts, and creative opinions. This event will focus on the Youth of the community; for students, by students.
This year, we're pushing the boundaries of our understanding, imagination, and impact, as we delve deep into the theme of 'Beyond the Human.' The theme invites you to ponder the fascinating opportunities that await us as we navigate the uncharted frontiers of our own evolution, where humans defy their natural, physical and intellectual boundaries.
Our lineup of exceptional speakers, carefully curated from a diverse range of backgrounds, will challenge your perspectives and inspire you to explore what it means to be human in a rapidly evolving world.
Immerse yourself in the electric atmosphere of TEDxDESC Youth, where you will also have the opportunity to engage in breakout rooms led by subject societies. This event isn’t just about listening; it’s about participating, questioning, and connecting with the ideas that will shape our tomorrow!
