Theme: YOUniTED We Change

2021 YOUniTED We Change
“We are each other’s harvest; we are each other’s business; we are each other’s magnitude and bond.” --Gwendolyn Brooks
In a world filled with so many distinct opinions, perspectives, and divisions, it's easy to get distracted by our individual differences. But what if instead of focusing on the individual journey, we tell the story of creating communities--their stumbles, their misses, their unexpected joy, their unique ability to transform our world? This year's TEDxSaintAndrewsSchool will do just that. YOUniTED We Change encourages not only debate but also dialogue, Greek for “thinking together.” By sharing and reflecting on our differing views, we must learn together as a community to change the world, and each other, for the better.
