Theme: Dare to Change

This event occurred on

Shanghai, Shanghai
China

In this era of mass information, anything could change within a second. It is increasingly valuable to stay self-conscious and be ourselves. We are often the products of changes in society. We are followers of the trend. However, sometimes, there could be a road fork in our lifetime. Turning left is smooth and crowded, but turning right is muddy and spacious. Which one will you choose? Will you dare to turn right? Will you dare to challenge the norms? Will you dare to change? Therefore, TEDxSoongChingLingSchool focuses on the theme of “Dare to Change” this December, aspiring to encourage more people to challenge themselves and take a step forward with courage and confidence.
