Theme: To fuel the innovative spirit and creative accomplishments of students to foster problem-solving

"In today’s extremely fast-paced VUCA World and perpetually-changing society, the truths we hold sacred seem to be changing all the time. There is a ubiquitous sense of fear and bewilderment towards our future, but also excitement about new and unexpected opportunities. We have more questions than ever, but no definite answers. However, amongst us, there are pioneers who view this as an opportunity and not a threat, thereby challenging the status quo to solve real-world problems. Through the TEDxYouth@MAMSRaiwala platform, we wish to showcase inspiring innovations, leadership initiatives or stories of well-being, that can help us in exploring where we seem to be going, to define what might be our world of tomorrow and how we can together make it better for the coming generations."
