Theme: WHAT IF? Rethink, Redefine, Redesign: Disrupting Systems

WHAT IF?
Rethink, Redefine, Redesign- Disrupting Systems
As the world relentlessly paces at a rapid rate, we continue to be confronted with both, a multitude of unprecedented phenomena and some ground-breaking developments. A raging pandemic that remains unsolved, a conundrum posed by war yet again, the changing face of the working world, the catastrophes inflicted by climate change, the mad global race to space, and of course, the ever- advancing Digital Age at the centre of it all.
The urging need of the hour is to take a step back, explode the bubble of existing trends, redefine the prevailing systems and shift the gears of our thinking clocks. The time has come to challenge conventions, blaze new trails, and witness the turning tides through the minds of disruptive pioneers and change makers!
On 28th August 2022, fostering the will to rethink, redefine and redesign, Navrachana School Sama shall bring to you a blizzard of ideas spirited in the avant-garde, with our very first TEDxYouth Event!
Save the Date: 28th August 2022
