How to have a constructive conversation | Aasha Khan | TEDxIroquoisRidgeHS

Описание: Her TED talk is about how we must be willing to let go of our fears, understand each others’ perspectives, and engage in difficult conversations, so that we may rejuvenate our social discourse to help build the foundation for a brighter tomorrow. Aasha Khan is a grade 9 student, currently enrolled in the International Baccalaureate Program at Cameron Heights Collegiate Institute. Her motivation for public speaking took root and continued to flourish through her elementary school, which prided itself on public speaking. From these annual competitions, Aasha was given the confidence to present herself in front of others, as she went on to become a finalist and second place winner in the 2020 Lions Club Speaking Competition. The topic that Aasha will be presenting in her TED talk is “how to have a constructive conversation”. Today, more than ever, we live in a polarized world, in which people refuse to work together to resolve significant issues like climate change and global health. We must be willing to let go of our fears, understand each others’ perspectives, and engage in difficult conversations, so that we may rejuvenate our social discourse to help build the foundation for a brighter tomorrow. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
