深圳外国语学校国际部三月将举办首次TEDx青年论坛

Shen Wai International School (SWIS) will organize the first ever youth event TEDxYouth@SWIS. TEDx is an initiative by TED to give platform to ideas worth sharing.

The theme of the first TEDx event at SWIS is “Glass Ceilings: Breaking Norms” and revolves around breaking stereotypes and coming up with something valuable and inspiring. Some of the major ideas include the impact of popular culture on the food choices people make and its impact on the ecosystem, robotics and gene technology, and lesser-known fields.

There is also an emphasis on the importance of breaking language barriers to connect with the rest of the world and how it can benefit an enterprise and an individual. SWIS TEDx event has an equal number of female and male speakers so as to spread the message that we live in a world of equality and there should be equal female representation. The theme also focuses on how one can become inspired to go beyond conventions to make a rewarding and a satisfying career.

The event will be held on March 23 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at SWIS.
