After 2 years since our first such event, we return to this topic that we, and many in our community care deeply about - Education. Although in China most discussions around education are concentrated on one single topic during a specific time each year - the College Entrance Examination, we know it’s more than that. What we teach and how we teach are just like planting seeds into young and evolving minds - it is a long and somewhat unpredictable process. But what kind of people today's school kids will become decides what future holds for all humanity.
At TEDxXiguanED 2017, we will bring a set of incredible speakers who have a shared passion and unique wisdom in education. And we hope their ideas will resonate, and generate even more discussions and questions on this topic which deserves much more attention.
Also at this time, we are re-defining the TEDx event experience. Besides the well-known talk format, a number of workshops will be held around the main theatre, giving our attendees a chance to have a deeper exchange. What’s more exciting is you have the opportunity to shape these discussions and even the future of education.
