The third edition of TEDxSCAC is finally here!
TEDxSCAC is an independently organized TED event under a license from TED. The conference features prestigious and prominent personalities from different walks of life who’ve all come together on one platform, to do one thing : Share their ideas.
To keep our community diverse, the speakers all represent different fields, from activism to athletics and from wellness to wildlife conservation. Together, not only do they captivate the audience with their experiences, but they each bring with them their own unique perspectives, their very own stories. We wish to provide the perfect space to innovate and inspire.
The theme for TEDxSCAC 2020 is – ‘Resilience’.
Trials and tribulations work as stimuli to strengthen our inner self. Only cowards rebel and surrender to their trials. Tests are meant, not to destroy, but to release the fountain of spiritual strength that lies within. For the adaptable and pliable suffering imparts positive lessons helping to bounce back with renewed fervor and vigor. Through heartache, experience and sacrifice we can become resilient; take deeper roots; continue our growth and the beautiful cycle of life.
We wish to capture the spirit of the quote,
“The oak fought the wind and was broken, the willow bent when it must and survived.”
TEDxSCAC also wishes to provide a platform to local budding artists and lets them take the stage to entertain and awe the audience.
