“Shining in My Own Colours”

Took placeOctober 31, 2025
LocationSamarinda, Kalimantan Timur, Indonesia
FormatYouth
TEDx Cita Hati Samarinda Youth is a platform where ideas, stories, and dreams take center stage—driven entirely by the voices of young people. This year, our theme, Shining in My Own Colours, celebrates individuality, authenticity, and the courage to embrace who we truly are. In a world that often pushes us to fit into molds, we believe that every person carries a unique blend of experiences, passions, and perspectives—colours that deserve to shine brightly. Through inspiring talks, performances, and creative expression, our student speakers will share personal journeys, innovative ideas, and bold visions that challenge the status quo and spark positive change. This event is not just about listening—it’s about connecting. It’s about recognising that our differences are not barriers, but bridges that make our shared world richer and more vibrant. Whether you’re here to be inspired, to discover, or to reflect on your own colours, TEDx Cita Hati Samarinda Youth will invite you to step into the light and let your voice be heard. Join us as we celebrate the power of individuality and the brilliance that emerges when we dare to shine—together. #TEDxYouth #ShiningInMyOwnColours #TEDxCitaHatiSamarinda
