Theme: Inside out

"Let your heart blossom
to see the light of the day,
let your mind unravel
to illuminate the way."

Do you ever look at someone and wonder, what is going on inside their head?
The thoughts that unfold in their mind, the sentiments that shape their personality and the ideas that fuel their passion.

Would we be different people, if we portrayed who we were on the inside; untouched by the fear of judgement, and unscathed by the shackles of society?

This year’s edition of TEDxPESITBSC aims to showcase and awaken the raw you.
To shed your inhibitions, to listen to your heart’s desires, to spread your wings and take to the sky and to embrace who you unfeignedly are.

Join us in this TEDxperience to give your true inner being a chance to breathe, a chance to thrive, and to turn yourself Inside Out.
