Theme: Breakthrough

A lot of things happening these days around the world. Politically, locally, globally and personally. Let's think about how breakthrough can happen in every field. Breakthroughs can happen when diverse ideas come together, experiment, explore, sometimes argue gently, fiercely. We want to provide those opportunities by sharing intriguing talks and events. Not only do we exchange ideas but we do exchange smiles, handshakes, and books. This youth event has been planned and organized by teenagers.Come join us! https://goo.gl/forms/dMyrB6fUtWOD1gIJ3 (Apply here.)
