What: TEDxOOBSchool – Learn to Unlearn
Where: Held Virtually

What an idea it is to spread IDEAS that are worth spreading!
TEDxOOBSchool is an independently organized TEDx event exclusively for the student community. The up coming Fifth edition, TEDxOOBSchool2020 is to be held virtually on 26 November 2020 at Our own English high school, Sharjah, Boys' Branch.
This youth attempt is in expectation of inviting the attention of the world on beautiful ideas that may impact life and help the human kind live impressively leaving an indelible imprint for the posterity. This indeed will invite the attention of thinking minds that will in turn, ignite and extend dialogues.
The Theme of TEDxOOBSchool2020 is LEARN TO UNLEARN
“Learn to Unlearn” revolves round the concept of readiness to embrace the good changes that may occur naturally or influentially in different realms of life. Existing practices and information should be subjected to change or they get changed inevitably due to circumstances. Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED) and anything else are thus under never ending evolution. It is worth remembering that in a fast world the process of learning and unlearning also is fast. And this, needless to say, challenges us to our wit’s end. Here is the relevance of your talks on the ideas that help unlearning the perceptions that we already have had for a greater good.
The TEDGlobal 2009 Program may serve as a great reference point to take note of the broad spectrum of talks on various subjects viz; music, science, biodiversity, industrial design, and food.

o Duration of talk: 2-7 minutes
o Age Group: 13 to 18 years.
o No commercial agenda: Speakers should not promote their own products, books, or businesses.
o Avoid pseudoscience: TED and TEDx are platforms for showcasing and explaining genuine advances in science, and it is important we retain the respect of the scientific community. Speakers should avoid the misuse of scientific language to make uncorroborated claims.
o No talks with an inflammatory political or religious agenda, nor for polarizing “Us vs. Them” language. We seek to build consensus and provide outside-the-box thinking, not to revisit familiar, unresolvable disputes on these topics.
o Your Talk: The talks should be fashioned on original ideas, methods, schemes and plans. We would intend to see talks with ideas that are new, futuristic and pragmatic enough to offer solutions to the problems/challenges in the future.
