Theme: Young but Influential

Youth are powerful. As the saying goes, the back wave pushes the front wave. As millennials grow older, the spotlight has shifted to the young Generation Z. Age has never been a limiting factor for influence. Eileen Gu and Su Yiming who proved themselves in the Winter Olympics by winning Gold medals are just two examples of how impactful youth can be. Many are actually right beside us! In this regard, TEDxSoongChingLingSchool will focus on the theme of "Young but Influential" this May, aiming to inspire more young people to identify and solve the social problems around them.

有一种力量，叫青春。人们常说：长江后浪推前浪。如今，年轻活泼的00后成为了闪光灯下的焦点。年龄从来都不是限制影响力的因素。这不仅限于在冬奥赛场上勇夺桂冠的谷爱凌、苏翊鸣，我们的身边也从来不乏朝气蓬勃、充满影响力的人。本届TEDxSoongChingLingSchool将围绕“青春韶华”的主题展开，希望能对年轻人产生积极的影响与启发。
