“EMBRACING UNCERTAINTY”
In our search for the right theme for the first edition of TEDxESMTBerlin 2021, we soon realized that these are times of questions without any definitive answers.
Will our lives ever get back to normal?
When will we be able to travel freely again?
How can we protect ourselves from this deadly virus?
Will the vaccines work?
There were many questions, but none have a fixed answer.
Some people have started accepting this lifestyle as “THE NEW NORMAL” whereas others have had more difficulties adapting and have fallen victim to the pressures of uncertainty. This is when the team of TEDxESMTBerlin realized that in order to help people now, we need to help them approach this new world with a positive and open mind-set. To help them to see how they can make the best out of this unusual situation. Thus, came the theme – “EMBRACING UNCERTAINTY”
We aim to help people embrace the current uncertainty, but also prepare them for any future ones.
