Theme: Variation

What we want from our participants is ”Variation”.

Encounter with the outside world, stimulation, acceptance.
To come into contact with a new external factor that causes a change that was not even anticipated.

”Variation" is a word that includes the meaning of such "Big change".
We want the conference to be a place where participants can trigger such a variation.

We want young people to broaden their perspectives, expand their circle of friends, and broaden their range of mutation at a time when they have the potential to mutate.

TEDxYouth@Kumamoto members will provide an opportunity to "bring mutation to everyone involved in the conference".
We will provide such an opportunity.

私たちが参加者に望むのは「変異」です。

外部との邂逅、刺激、受容。
新たな外的要因と接触したことで、想定すらしなかった変化を引き起こすこと。
「Variation」とは、そうした「変化、変異」を意味に含む語です。
私たちはカンファレンスを、参加者にとって変異のトリガーとなるような場にしたいと考えています。

若者という、多様な変異の可能性を持つ時期にこそ視野を広げ、人の輪を広げ、
そして変異の幅を広げてほしいのです。

Variation豊かなTEDxYouth@Kumamotoメンバーによって、
”カンファレンスに関わる全ての人に変異をもたらす”
そんな機会を提供致します。
