Theme: Transcendence

Transcendence is exceeding the limits, and that is the core of our event. The power of an idea is able to transcend; as in surpasses and goes above and beyond, the limits of a single person. It can catalyse different reactions in different people. It also has the power to give different ideas to different people. Ideas have their benefits and detriments, nonetheless, both affect communities, populations, and possibly generations. The power of an idea is powerful, long lasting and worthwhile.

Transcendence could be found in a variety of fields and a variety of ways, and we're bringing Transcendence on our very own TEDxMSAUniversity stage!

•ما هو Transcendence؟
هو أن تفكر خارج الصندوق، وهذا هو الهدف الرئيسي من حدثنا. تستطيع قوة الفكرة أن تطور؛ بأن تفوق وتذهب إلى أبعد الحدود، تفوق حدود أي شخص. ممكن كمان تحفز ردود فعل مختلفة في الأشخاص المختلفين، وممكن تدي أفكار مختلفة للأشخاص المختلفين. الأفكار ليها مكاسبها ومضارها، وعلى أي حال الأتنين بيأثروا في المجتمعات، والشعوب ويمكن الأجيال. قوة الفكرة ضخمة، طويلة الأمد وجديرة بالاهتمام.
