Theme: "MAKING PRESENT THE PAST"

In TEDx AvAqueducto we value our community and we look for the deep involvement with comments from each talk, we intend to promote a culture that fosters solid and reflective observations, with diverse and compatible feelings and points of view.
For this edition we have created a main theme entitled "MAKING PRESENT THE PAST" that allows us to suggest current ideas without losing sight of the roots that make it present.
The present that we face develops according to what happened in the past.
The traces of the past are innate/built-in in our current society, show our way of acting and impact our daily lives both personally and globally.
At the same time, the present refines the knowledge of our origins, the understanding of our evolution and makes it possible to generate the search for ideas that allow us other possibilities of interpreting reality in order to achieve a better world.
