TEDxYouth

Our theme (sub)CONSCIOUS, explores beneath the surface of creativity and expression through our instincts and thoughts, in a world where imagination is constantly shaped by technology and social norms.

From artistic expression to conformity, this theme reminds us that our (sub)consciousness has the ability to drive our creativity and perception.
