City of Stars

LocationDong Ha, Quang Tri, Vietnam
FormatYouth
TEDxLeQuyDonHighSchool: City of Stars is the first TEDx event in Dong Ha City, Quang Tri Province. It takes place in the form of inspiring speeches in diverse fields and serves the purpose of nurturing passion, motivation as well as ideas worth spreading. Furthermore, it also has the mission of spreading the voice, image and spirit of TED to the people of Quang Tri. Our event is aimed mainly towards students, who are under tremendous pressure in their daily life. It's the endless story about grades, the inferiority complex when compared with other children, the anxiety about the uncertain future, and all the anger, indignation when their viewpoints are not considered and respected. All of these have become the darkness overshadowing their fine qualities. They are always watching others shine, yet never stop to notice that a star is right there, deeply ingrained in them. And as a rule of thumb, they think that only solitude accompanies them on the path of proving themselves. Therefore, with the theme “City of Stars”, the organizing team of TEDxLeQuyDonHighSchool promises to accompany young people in Quang Tri on a long journey to discover the stars within. It is our belief that if those stars are brightened in time, we will create a shimmering city full of stars representing numerous promising young faces.
