Theme: Paradoxos

Estamos em busca de ideias improváveis. Ideias que nasceram em terreno fértil para dúvidas e que, contra todas as probabilidades, cresceram e ganharam espaço. É hora de desafiar o status quo, e questionar o que a sociedade considera como verdade.

O TEDxBlumenau 2018 é sobre Paradoxos.

Nosso tapete vermelho vai dar voz à quem não é ouvido e àqueles que são ouvidos mas nem sempre escutados. Vai contar as histórias que são abafadas pelo nosso dia-a-dia barulhento.

É hora de tirar a cidade pra dançar rápido em ritmo lento.

Neste dia, desejamos que cada lágrima sua seja de alegria. Que o medo só te deixe andar para a frente e que, para cada vez que o mundo sussurrar "Não" no seu ouvido, você grite sim mil vezes.

Bem vindo.
