Theme: Look both ways 

It’s not just when crossing a street that we should look both ways, but in every aspect of our lives. We should consider multiple avenues when learning new information, encountering perspectives, and meeting people. Acknowledging another worldview is easy, but openly embracing it is significantly more difficult. Because keeping an open mind is a vital part of education, in this year’s TEDx, we challenge ourselves to wholeheartedly explore and fearlessly engage with ideas that run sideways to our own.
