Theme: Breaking the fear

Our community is a very open minded, friendly and multicultural environment. We like to share knowledge and to enjoy life taking care of each other. We are full of energy and motivation to add value to our society. However, we have identified an important impediment, that is very recurrent among our students. This issue does not allow us to take full advantage of the potential that we have as members of the society.

For people in our community, failure is a bad thing. Our society, education system, companies, families and friends, among others, stigmatize failure. Any signal that does not indicate immediate success is considered a step back in someone ́s personal life. As a result, we are not mentally prepared to fail.

Every time that one of our students does not make something that have dreamed because of the fear to fail, then, as a community, we are losing the possibility to create something bigger than us. We all lose the chance to create more social and economic value for everybody.

We know that the process to creativity and to get a great outcome is always preceded by failure. History is full of examples of this in any human being activity from business to sports, science or any other knowledge area. Most things worth accomplishing involve a persistent stream of small advances that lead to something transformational over time.

Because of this real fear to fail in our community, we would like to make a reflection with TEDx participants and speakers about what means failure for us and how to overcome that fear in our community to break down barriers and create value for the future.
We hope that this reflection would ignite new actions with a positive impact in our society.
