“More than one story”

Took placeJune 2, 20265:00 PM - 7:00 PM (GMT+9)
LocationYokohama, Kanagawa, Japan
FormatYouth
I have chosen the theme “More than one story” for this year's ted. The theme was chosen based on the international and diverse culture we have in our school. In Horizon people often come from different countries, backgrounds, cultures, and languages. The theme highlights the idea that what we think we know is often incomplete. By listening to one another and learning from them makes us one step closer to embracing diversity. “More than one story” means that no person can be understood through one perspective because human beings are complex and hard to understand.

  • Alisher Abdulkhaev

    IT Specialist

    Title : “Born to ask why!" Description : For most of history, our tools freed our bodies but this is the first that thinks for us. This talk explores what it means to stay human in the age of artificial intelligence, where answers are instant and thinking can be outsourced. Through simple but powerful examples, it challenges whether we are losing something deeper. Because the real question isn’t what AI can do—but what we choose to do with it.

  • Almas Yeskenov

    Teacher/IT professional

    Title : “What short form videos do to our brains.” Description : We scroll without thinking, one video after another. In this talk, the evolution of short-form content from Vine to TikTok and beyond shows how quickly it became part of our everyday lives. By understanding why it’s so addictive and how it impacts our attention and learning, we begin to question our habits. And maybe, take back control of our time.

    Title : “How food can preserve a culture.” Description : Can a single dish carry the story of an entire culture? This talk explores how to preserve identity, even through times of displacements and changes, using the journey of Musakhan across the world. From Palestine to Jordan, Syria, and more. This talk is a powerful reminder that culture lives on through what we share and eat.

  • Mitsuki Sakagami

    Student

    Title : “The cost of 5 minutes” Description : We tell ourselves “just five more minutes,” like time will always be there. It feels like a small delay, but it slowly turns into missed moments and one big regret in the end. This talk shares the story of putting off time with a friend who once lived only minutes away until that chance was gone. Sometimes, the distance isn’t far, but the delay is.

  • Naomi Catchpole

    Student

    Title : “Self Awareness Paradox” Description : What if self awareness is holding you back? This Tedx talk unpacked how constance self analysis can turn your life into a performance instead of an experience. As we label our identity, we risk confusing understanding ourselves with becoming someone we are not. It’s time to stop framing ourselves, and start living.

  • Paul Pham

    Title : “Don’t choose one story too early” Description : We people set a life plan and try to follow through it. That often leads us to our “Final Story”, which is what we wanted. But it never guarantees happiness in life. We have to understand that life is an adventure, and one at all fitted in one story.

  • Peter Panacci

  • Rumaisa Saleem

    Student

    Title : “My family and culture” Description : What feels “normal” to one person can feel unfamiliar to another. This talk explores the quiet clash between cultural traditions and personal perspective, sparked by a moment of unexpected confusion within family.It reflects on how the environment shapes beliefs around marriage, gender roles, and identity.
