In a world that’s constantly shifting between what is and what could be, TEDxEMWS 2026: Between Realities explores the dynamic spaces we navigate every day between innovation and tradition, perception and truth, individuality and community. This year’s event will bring together students, educators, professionals, and changemakers to share ideas that challenge perspectives and bridge divides. Through thought-provoking talks and conversations, we aim to uncover how people redefine boundaries, adapt to uncertainty, and create meaning within multiple realities. Hosted at École Mondiale World School, TEDxEMWS continues its tradition of inspiring dialogue and connection within our community. Join us as we step into the spaces between realities — where imagination meets impact and ideas spark transformation.
