TEDxUFRO Every Identity has a Story
Usually, our identity is associated with our name or country of birth or ethnicity or other such details. Can a mere name or a number define my persona? A standard definition of ‘Identity’ would be: “our inner perception of ourselves while in contact with others, which can evolve over time and within particular circumstances”. Our identity is flexible and dynam
ic. It changes over time. Trying to understand identity compels us to reflect on our relationship with the world. Individual identity is a patchwork of various aspects, a sum of many different traits and characteristics that, if each one is taken away, one would no longer be the same. For several reasons the idea of identity has become important today. Globalization has created a new and unprecedented ‘global identity’ that integrates global factors, which were not available to the erstwhile local identity concept. Defining our identity gives us the opportunity to change and improve ourselves, and give us a greater understanding of the ongoing local and global changes. The TEDxUFRO believe that in these crucial times of conflicts and challenges, it is imperative for us explore our identity as individuals and as cultures to understand the relationships between people, the environment and our place in the world
The TEDxUFRO began his journey in 2009, since then, has been spreading ideas in in different topics "Creativity and Learning", "Life Education", "History, Technology and the Future", "Creativity and science in the frontier" and the global simulcast of the 2010 event "TEDWomen"..
