"Faith in the Future"
About
TEDxYouth@UWCEA
According to TED.com, “TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives, and, ultimately, the world. TED is owned by a nonprofit, nonpartisan foundation. Our agenda is to make great ideas accessible and spark conversation.”
​
The history of TED can be traced back to 1984 as a “conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages.”
​
A TEDx event is a “local gathering where live TED-like talks and performances are shared with the community.” The x stands for independently-organized event. A youth event is a TEDx event organized by and for school communities. Therefore, TEDxYouth@UWCEA is an event assimilating a TED event but is fully planned and coordinated by students of the United World College East Africa, Moshi Campus, with the core aim of working with the local Moshi community to create the TEDx experience.

OUR THEME
'Faith in the Future'
​
We were bounded only by the earth and the ocean and the sky. Despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness. Testaments of this are our unimaginable technical marvels and unfathomable pieces of art and wisdom. We have come so far and are yet farther to come. What brought us this far is our faith in each other and in the future. Persisting and refusing to give up is what fueled us through hard times.
But is this where it stops? Have the issues we face grown beyond our problem-solving capabilities? Our little terraqueous globe is the madhouse of those millions of worlds in the galaxy. We, who cannot even put our own planetary home in order, riddled with rivalries and hatreds, are we ready to venture out into space?
There have been many challenges, but we are an adaptable species. It will not be we who reach Alpha Centauri and the other nearby stars. It will be a people very much like us but, with more of our strengths and fewer of our weaknesses
