This year, EEB3's annual TEDx event will host fifteen inspiring speakers. These will include members of the school community and experts in various fields. They will discuss the theme: "And Against All Odds..." and, through their talks, shed light on some of the most pressing issues of our time. Through the diversity represented by the speakers, everyone will find something that interests them in the TEDxYouth@EEB3 programme. For better or for worse, humans have the potential to beat the odds. The main message of the event is that we should, therefore, seek out the unknown and defeat the odds to construct a better future. Karen Northshield is a miracle survivor of the Brussels terrorist attacks of 22 March, 2016. During her talk, she will take you on an inspirational and thrilling journey through the most unexpected and unthinkable life challenging events. On March 22nd, 2016, she was at the Brussels' international airport to catch a flight when, in a split second, her life changed radically. She went from a prime athlete and Personal Trainer to a fatally injured victim of a deadly terrorist attack. In the blink of an eye, her life, body, dreams and carreer were shattered into pieces as she was blown away by the bomb. The doctors gave her zero chance of survival. She went from an improbable survival to a long reconstruction as medical teams put the pieces of her broken body back together. To this day, she has recovered beyond anyone's imagination as she continues to assemble the pieces of her puzzle under a new positive light. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
