Theme: IDEAS AND HUMANITY

Somos habitantes de un mundo que se conecta, somos partícipes de una sociedad que coopera y que desde el individuo busca generar transformación.

En nuestro país, Colombia, hemos entendido que el camino debe ser la reconciliación y el trabajar juntos para crecer, es por esta razón que desde lo local, desde nuestro vecindario y nuestra ciudad debemos agruparnos y generar transformación, una transformación que toque no sólo nuestra realidad sino también la realidad del mundo.

La posibilidad de conectarnos con la necesidad del otro, nos hace parte de un todo en el que las ideas y la humanidad se unen en un solo concepto, para el 2019 TEDxNeiva llevará ideas que promuevan la humanidad, el volver a ser un todo en sociedad en el que la mujer, el niño, el anciano o el invisibilizado sean las cabezas de un circuito que nos conecte con la esencia de lo que somos y siempre seremos:

HUMANOS.
