Embracing Discomfort
“A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.”
— John A. Shedd
Whether it is joining an important meeting, or entering a room full of strangers, we all experience uncomfortable scenarios that invite anxiety and uncertainty into our lives. We invite you embrace this discomfort as a catalyst for personal growth, with valuable insights from our variety of speakers.
REDEFINING
TOMORROW
Join us for an exciting exploration of the future at Redefining Tomorrow, where we delve into the cutting-edge synergy between technology and materials. Discover how these two forces are shaping the world around us and propelling us into a new era of innovation and progress.
Ready? Sustain… GO!
Our 2023 event “Ready Sustain GO” was an event all about a better, more sustainable world.
Our 6 speakers take you on a magical carpet ride through their ideas!
(Re)structure the (De)structured
The recent events have left us all with a lot of questions, insecurities, and uncertainties. At the same time, we are surrounded by innovation, growth, and scientific breakthroughs. All of this potential is making its way in our lives more and more every day.
It is our task to take up the building blocks that are being offered to us. We should reconstruct what has lost its framework, we should restructure the destructured.
This is why we want to bring great, new ideas to our event, to talk about the new frontiers that await us and inspire the outstanding.
We at TEDxKULeuven are ready to discover what the future holds.
Entering a New Era
Everything’s changing, we live in a new normal, nothing will be the same again, … Those are some of the statements that have marked 2020 and will mark the rest of 2021 as long as we deal with the global impact of COVID-19. How should we make sense of these changes? What can we expect? Are we truly entering a new era? What will fields such as innovation, education, cybersecurity, personal work & efficiency, science, … look like over the coming few decades?
Many such questions and uncertainties are interwoven with our current views on the future, that’s why it is more important than ever to think and talk about it, to listen to others’ views on it, and to challenge each other’s assumptions as we go along.
The power of (un)truth
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).
