TEDxYouth@Beijing101School

TEDxYouth@Beijing101School is an independently organized TED event that is initiated by a team of students at Beijing No. 101 High School. In our modernizing 21st-century world, globalization has become a major theme that spans across countries and cultures. As more emphasis and values are being placed on diversity, inclusion, and cooperation, integration has become a significant feature observed in many disciplines, businesses, and international affairs. The COVID-19 pandemic has also played a role in fostering a global environment for integration – although through creating separation. As individuals are quarantined, school and work take on an online format, and international trade is affected and sometimes delayed, we realize more and more the importance of collaboration and cross-boundary connections. While this theme is prominent on a global scale, it also has an active presence in our everyday lives. When do you feel separated from an academic field, an interaction, or a community? And when do you feel the most integrated? We encourage you to come, with an open heart, and enjoy a special Thursday afternoon with our speakers as they share their experiences and spread the significance of their stories to the broader community at 101ID.
