Theme: Idea Trajectories: Collision, Impact, Orbit

Ideas are born and die each day. Some remain unchanged for long periods of time while others disappear after being replaced. Some ideas find each other and come together becoming, often, a bigger idea but with roots in smaller ones. TEDxYouth@SWA seeks to explore the histories and origins of a varied range of locally important ideas from different perspectives. We propose the metaphor of "Idea trajectories: collision, impact, orbit"to represent the history and fates of ideas as they come to prominence, interact with each other and drive the evolution of new ideas.
