初夏の札幌の街を彩るライラック。札幌市の木として指定され広く市民に親しまれています。そんなライラックは青春のシンボルとされ思い出という意味の花言葉もあります。
TEDxYouth＠Sapporo2020ではスピーカーの半数以上をU18が占めています。U18のスピーカーが青春をかけて起こしている行動、青春を忘れない大人のスピーカーが起こしている行動、そこから生まれるアイデアの価値。
それを感じ取りU18には同世代の価値あるアイデアに刺激を受けてほしい、そして札幌の若い力をもっと多くの人に感じてほしい。
いつの日かこの思い出が、誰かの次の行動を、新たな青春をスタートするきっかけなることを願っています。
