2nd August, 2017
This time , “Reset: Exploring Horizons” has become the main theme of our very own TEDxMMUMelaka.
The main idea is that we would like to cultivate growth in our audience, which would mainly consist of students from various backgrounds, to be able to see that there is so much more that the world has to offer. We believe it is essential to expand the views of a tight-knitted group within Melaka to see beyond what is in front of them to help them move forward.
We believe Melaka has lacked the support it should get in rebuilding a future where everyone is involved in building and helping one another. This is why it is imperative that we hold our very own TEDxMMUMelaka to start ignite this flame of innovation.
The event consists of three sessions, which is to Reboot, Rethink, and Restructure.
Reboot: -
In this session, we believe that for a community to believe they can start working together to innovate and work smarter instead of just working harder, we need to be able to inspire and encourage them to take challenges and even make the challenges they need to improve their way of life and thinking. We believe that motivation to think different is everywhere, but the idea of starting something scares some into inaction. Therefore, rebooting oneself is to be able to accept new ideas or challenges and work forward from then on.
Rethink: -
In this session, we think that the goal is to highlight new ways we can approach things. To have a more optimistic and analytical view, or even just ways to be happier with our own way of life. We think I is also crucial to highlight when we do something, how much goodness can we put into that one product or service that we would provide. It can also be imparted into our own way of life as to how we can be better beings just by doing good and better. This session aims to amp up the values that we provide one another in our everyday lives.
Restructure: -
In this session, we believe in giving an end to help our audience realize how they can input what they have heard into their lives. We believe that to manifest the spirit of reaching beyond horizons is to essentially make sure the audience knows that there are things and values out there that are way bigger than just the world they live in- which is at the current state, university. We believe that to prepare our audience to realize that one should always be ready, have plans and be ambitious, and to hold values above all else to enter into the new era of our century.
