✨ Still carrying the feeling from last week’s TEDxFreiburg ✨ This year was special — 10 years of TEDx in Freiburg 🎉 Being part of the speaker curation team for a second year, I got to experience something I’ve come to really value: the space where ideas are shaped, challenged, and slowly come to life. This year’s theme, “Tension,” stayed with me — especially in the way it showed its positive side, from leaving behind your story for the people you love, to being there for someone in a moment of crisis, to exploring new ways of thinking about sustainable growth, to finding the humour in things, and even to witnessing the incredible things the human body is capable of ⚡🤸‍♀️ And then there are those moments during the event… A full room, completely silent. Everyone listening, fully present. It’s hard to describe, but you can feel it: for a moment, we are all connected. Ideas don’t just change things — they bring people together! 🌍 Grateful to be a part of this team!
