Theme: Layer

The theme of the 2020 TEDxHongikU Event is ‘Layer’.
Layer means different elements overlapping to form a new meaning.

Individuals from different environments have their own unique ‘distinctiveness’ that distinguishes them from others. Each distinctive ideas are shaped by one’s thoughts and values, sometimes being added and sometimes being deducted, creating their layers.

Thus, TEDxHongikU aims to share ideas of an individual as well as the valuable ideas that form a layer in society.
By spreading various experiences and ideas, it can be a chance to form a layer of possibility in others, and through that, your story can become a small, yet significant layer that composes another’s life.
