Theme: Shifting Gears

We are delighted to present this year’s edition of TEDxYouth@HGS! With the aim to manifest creativity and foster new ideas, the event brings together passionate individuals of our young community from across India to share and listen to inspiring ideas with their peers.

The theme for this year is Shifting Gears. As you drive, you use gears to move ahead, slowly at first, then more rapidly and easily. It’s said, success has gears. As you succeed, you use gears, too. Like good drivers, you must learn to recognize which gear is needed, and when and how to shift up and down. Shifting gears apart from its basic meaning includes subjects of learning, starting or restarting, managing, focusing, speeding, leading and many more.
