TEDxYouth@GSIS

In a city that lives vertically, Bridging Divides is a high-wire act performed by the only people agile enough to navigate the gap between tradition and TikTok: high schoolers. This isn’t just about closing distances. Our speakers are building scaffolds across the cultural and generational canyons we’ve grown too tired to cross. It’s a day of deep thinking and teenage grit, proving that even in a concrete jungle, the most resilient bridges are built from the mismatched, the misunderstood, and the unapologetically young.
