RE-ENVISION
After five successful editions, we are honoured to introduce you to the sixth edition of TEDx hosted by the University of Amsterdam (UvA)
The theme of the fifth edition of TEDxUniversiteitvanAmsterdam will be “Re-Envision". The news stories of 2021 evoked a range of emotions. While certain moments made us proud, others made us concerned about our future. From the world of politics, science, natural disasters and technological improvements, these were stories that challenged us and brought us closer together. At this crucial moment in our history, we have begun navigating through a new reality. How do we see the future? We need each other to envision the different angles and question our ways of thinking since everyone’s perception of the world is limited to their understanding. At times, seeing things through a different lens opens the doors you haven't imagined existed.
