I, You, We | TEDxColombo 2018

This year's TEDxColombo is about sparking an actionable understanding of identity and how it can be used as a tool for building empathy, trust, and solidarity within and across cultures. While we imagine individually, it's time we crafted the ideas born of those musings, communally. This is the calibre of collaborative ‘community’ we wish to create for the future of Sri Lanka. There are magnificent things happening all around us through ordinary people, everyday visionaries who dream as easily as they breathe – and these are the stories we want to tell.
