Theme: Empowering Inner Self: Be Relevant, Resonant, and Radiant

In this vast and busy world, inner self-empowerment is often forgotten as we tend to focus on some arbitrary metrics at work. In some cases, we even forget that the world has been changing that much in just a couple of years or even months.

Discover the importance of empowering our inner self—by becoming relevant to the world's needs around us, while also having a strong anchor as our principal so what we choose to do can resonate with our natural value. When we are in harmony with our true selves, we will radiate positivity and attract positive experiences and people around us. This resonant energy creates a ripple effect that has the power to touch and positively impact everyone around us.

Join us at TEDxYouth@SWA 2023 and learn to empower our inner self by being relevant, resonant, and radiant.
