With the success of last year’s TEDxKenyalang : Be The Best, we are back again this year with a new name and a bigger and greater event for people in Sarawak. TEDxKenyalang, with the theme ‘Outreach The World‘, will explore how the different aspects of our world are interconnected. By using a transdisciplinary lens, a variety of systems and subjects will be explored.
