Theme: Changing Constants

Change is an act or process through which something becomes different. Change can occur due to a myriad of internal and external factors. In this year's TEDx youth summit, we want to explore how people alter their flow of life or react to unexpected changes. This year's theme is "Changing Constants", derived from the quote "The only constant in life is change" by Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher.

'Changing constants' symbolizes how life is interchanging whether for the good or the bad, and how by harnessing that change we can attain the impossible and open new doors.
