¡Prepárate para la explosión de creatividad y pasión en TEDxUMSA! Estamos de vuelta con un evento que va más allá de las expectativas, creado por y para jóvenes con el propósito de inspirar, motivar y cambiar vidas de manera auténtica.

En el corazón de TEDxUMSA, nos esforzamos por cultivar líderes extraordinarios. Queremos que cada voluntario viva una experiencia enriquecedora, sumergiéndose en capacitaciones que no solo potencian habilidades, sino que también encienden la llama de la pasión. Aquí, el crecimiento personal se convierte en un viaje emocionante y transformador.

No solo son charlas; prepárate para un montón de ideas emocionantes que te llegarán al fondo del corazón. TEDxUMSA es el evento donde las mentes más brillantes y apasionadas comparten sus historias, desafían perspectivas y contagian su entusiasmo por lo que hacen. Estamos decididos a ofrecerte un evento de calidad excepcional.

TEDxUMSA es un movimiento independiente, gestado por jóvenes universitarios con la misión de difundir ideas valiosas y promover un cambio positivo en nuestra sociedad. Aquí, la autenticidad y la pasión son las fuerzas motrices.

Así que, ¿estás listo para sumergirte en un espacio de inspiración? TEDxUMSA te invita a ser parte de esta aventura inolvidable, donde cada charla es un viaje emocional y cada idea tiene el poder de cambiar el mundo. ¡No te pierdas esta oportunidad única de vivir algo extraordinario!
