This year, EEB3’s annual TEDx event will host fifteen inspiring speakers. These will include members of the school community and experts in various fields. They will discuss the theme: “And Against All Odds…” and, through their talks, shed light on some of the most pressing issues of our time. Through the diversity represented by the speakers, everyone will find something that interests them in the TEDxYouth@EEB3 programme. For better or for worse, humans have the potential to beat the odds. The main message of the event is that we should, therefore, seek out the unknown and defeat the odds to construct a better future. Vice-President Schinas talks about how the European Union offers a lesson in hope. Using personal examples from his 35 year career in European politics, he shows how, against all odds, the European continent has continuously advanced in one direction: unity. Europe’s journey is living testament to the belief that despair and destruction will never be a match for hope. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
