Theme: Discovery

Discovery refers to the act of finding something new or previously unknown. It can be a breakthrough moment that changes our understanding of the world around us or a personal journey of self-discovery. The concept of discovery is a driving force behind innovation, scientific advancement, and creative expression. The TEDxBuruburu titled Discovery will explore a range of topics related to this theme, such as the discovery of new technologies, the discovery of new artistic expressions, the discovery of inner strengths and abilities, or the discovery of new perspectives and insights. Ultimately, you attending this event we aim to inspire your curiosity and encourage you to embrace the process of discovery in your own life.
