My Experience At Tedx
Embracing yet another opportunity at Pathways School Noida, on 15th February ‘18, our school community independently organised a TEDx event by bringing 7 awe-inspiring speakers together and live streaming the event on our official website. Not only was it an exhilarating opportunity for us as a school to be the host of our first ever TED event, but also, for all the fellow students who attended the live event, which we were otherwise accustomed to watching through our laptop screens. Learning about the inner workings and behind the scenes of how an event of such a large scale is put together, the amount of coordination, hard work and management it takes was inspiring in itself.The theme of this event, ‘crossing over’ successfully managed to provide this occasion with a more purposeful stride while surprising us viewers with the various interpretations given by the speakers throughout their speeches.
Be it ‘Why storytelling will be the strongest currency in the world’ or learning about ‘activation of public spaces with temporary art experience’, I especially loved how dedicated and sincere all the speakers were to their field of work and the number of impactful contributions they made in the lives of others. To conclude, this was an incredible chance for us to learn about different perceptions of underrated yet impactful people around us every day and I can’t wait for Pathways to host its next ted event and have this experience all over again.
