Dubai, May 27, 2024: Sunmarke School recently concluded its TEDxSunmarke event themed ‘Dream Big’. With the TEDxSunmarke event, licensed under the globally recognised TED organisation, the aim was to foster inspiration and insightful dialogues among students. Devika Mankani, Divisional Head & Managing Director of Regent International School & Chief Positive Psychologist of Fortes Education was the guest of honour at the event.
During the event, eight student speakers took to the stage, captivating the audience with their unique perspectives and stories under the theme ‘Dream Big’. The series of talks delivered by the students traversed a wide array of subjects, each narrating a different facet of personal ambitions, societal aspirations and the vast potential of human creativity. From tales of individual perseverance to explorations of future technologies, each speaker brought forward their interpretation of what it means to ‘Dream Big’.
Devika Mankani articulated her insights by suggesting strategies that involve actively transforming self-limiting thoughts into solution-focused ones.
Nicholas Rickford, Principal of Sunmarke School, shared his pride in the student organizers and speakers saying, “Seeing our young people so passionately advocate for their beliefs and dreams was truly inspiring. By dreaming big, they are paving the way for a future filled with hope, innovation and transformation. This event has once again demonstrated that when given the opportunity, our students can lead the way in making a positive impact on the world.”
At the heart of the TEDxSunmarke event is TED’s mission to spread ideas—a global platform that supports individuals in sharing their insights through short, powerful talks. TEDx events are independently organised but follow the same principle, fostering learning, inspiration, and wonder and provoking conversations that matter.
