Nobody saw this coming. COVID-19 caused a health emergency, an economic catastrophe, a humanitarian crisis. All of a sudden, we lose track of everything. We are drowned in vulnerability and uncertainty.
Yet, there are reasons to keep our hopes up. Two sides of the same coin, the Chinese phrase 危机 [wēi jī] says that opportunities emerge out of crises. At the crossroads of life, at the turning points of time, we embark on this lifelong quest of future possibilities.
What does the unknown mean to you? Where do you see the unknown leading you? How do you react when facing the unknown? This May 22nd, we invite you to join us at TEDxMarianopolisCollege’s second student-led event... and look into the unknown.
