Theme: Re:Pairing Our World

The world is fractured in many ways—socially, environmentally, technologically, and personally. But instead of focusing on what’s broken, what if we focused on repairing, restoring, and reconnecting?

Re:Pairing Our World is a call to action for visionaries, problem-solvers, and changemakers to explore how we can rebuild trust, mend communities, heal the planet, and rethink the systems that shape our lives.

From tackling climate change and rethinking education to redefining personal resilience and technological ethics, this TEDx theme asks: What does it take to repair our world, piece by piece?
