The Fourth TEDxSCLS Event

第四届TEDxSCLS活动



Lights turned off, eight bells rang, then our hearts raced. As the curtain opens and lights shine onto the red carpet and logo,  applause welcomes the host to kick off the show, marking the beginning of the fourth TEDx event at SCLS. 


随着灯光渐暗、钟声响起,我们心潮澎湃。当帷幕拉开,灯光照耀舞台,伴着潮水般的掌声,主持人缓步走出,宋庆龄学校第四届TEDx活动正式开始。





Dare To Change

破茧成蝶




For the first time, we invited two guest speakers and welcomed all students, faculty, and parents in the international division to participate in the event. An adorning photo booth, high-quality student artwork, and eye-catching souvenirs decorated our event. 


这是我们首次邀请的两位演讲嘉宾,一同参加的还有国际部全体师生和受邀家长。装饰精美的照相亭、天马行空的学生艺术作品以及色彩缤纷的纪念品给活动增添了不少亮点。







Rewind to the Event

时光倒流

01

Clarisse Le Guernic

Clarisse presented the ups and downs of her career as the founder of Arcade Experience in China and shed light on how tourism could adjust in the post-pandemic era. 

Clarisse介绍了她作为Arcade亓门文化创始人的起起落落,并分享了她对后疫情时代旅游业格局的看法。


“Changes that we cannot control, like a global pandemic, can also conduct us to decide how we want to change things.”

“那些我们无法控制的变化,例如全球大流行病,也可以引导我们去决定如何改变事物,改变自己。”


02

Eric He

Eric introduced the long history of change regarding technology, economics, and society, which set out a perfect overview of the theme. 

Eric介绍了科技、经济和社会方面的悠久变革,对本次主题进行了完美的概述。



03

Shiwen Chen

Shiwen then brought attention to how she has adapted to different cultures and learned to be more confident when moving around the world. At the end of her speech, she accentuated the importance of change using three languages that she gained familiarity with during her stays in respective countries. 

接着,Shiwen分享了她如何在移居不同国家时适应本土文化,并从中寻找自我,建立自信。在演讲的结尾,她用自己熟悉的三种语言强调了改变的重要性。


“只有当你敢于改变时,你才会知道结果。Ce n'est que lorsque vous oserez changer que vous connaîtrez le résultat et la manière dont vous changerez. Only when you dare to change, will you know the result and how you will change.”


04

Akiyo Tani

Akiyo wowed everyone with the new technology, Web3, that will revolutionize our society. She grabbed the attention of the audience by contrasting the world under Web1 and Web2 and presenting the potential “digital renaissance of data” under the dominance of Web3. 

Akiyo展示的新技术Web3让每个人都惊叹不已,它将彻底改变当今社会结构。她通过对比Web1和Web2下的世界,大胆展望 未来Web3 主导下的“数据数字化复兴”,让观众感叹科技的力量。



05

Elaine Orange

Elaine boldly pointed out how the way of viewing mistakes that society launched was wrong and advocated people to “picture success as a fountain,” in which “some water will inevitably splash out from time to time when making mistakes, but success will continuously replenish when we learn from every mistake. 

Elaine大胆指出了社会过分强调错误的现象,并倡导人们“将成功想象成一个喷水池,在犯错时难免会溅出一些水,但当我们从每个错误中吸取教训,成功便会源源不断地送来泉水。”



06

Ashley Huang

Ashley, our youngest speaker, shared her story about encountering culture shocks when moving from Singapore to China, combined with psychological concepts to explain how she coped with them.

本次活动最年幼的演讲者Ashley分享了她从新加坡搬到中国时遇到的文化冲击故事,并结合心理学概念解释了她是如何应对这些冲击的。



07

Panya Zhu

Panya discussed how she and her friends subvert gender stereotypes by participating in and enjoying soccer and frisbee. 

“Sports allow females to challenge themselves, develop new perspectives, and be confident.”

Panya讨论了她和朋友们是如何热爱上足球和飞盘等运动,并颠覆性别刻板印象的。

“体育让女性能够挑战自我,开拓新观点,并保持自信。”



08

Alan Tsoi

Alan, as our final student speaker, told a heart-warming personal story of how he changed his views on the unequal sign between him and the majority, ending his speech by emphasizing how self-love should replace self-loathing when looking in the mirror. 

Alan作为最后一位学生演讲者,讲述了自己从自我鄙夷到自爱、自信的心路历程,强调了应该追随内心,而不是迎合大众。


“The unequal sign might be unequal to others, but what only matters is that the unequal sign is equal to you.”

“不等号可能不与其他人相等,但重要的是,不等号对你而言是相等的。”


09

Pete Rogers

Pete ended the show by presenting a passionate speech full of rhetorical questions that guided the audience to the “secret sauce” of self-leadership that enables us to daringly change. Remember to value consistency over intensity, motivate yourself by higher standards, and find gratitude! 

Pete以富有激情的演讲结束了活动。他的演讲充满哲学性的反问,引导观众了解自我领导的“秘诀”,使我们能够大胆地作出任何改变。记得要追求长期的回报而非眼前的利益,鼓励自己达成更高的目标,并懂得感恩!


Words From 

Our Hearts

我们发自内心的话

Miguel Valdes (Sponsor Teacher 指导老师) – “It was our first in-person event this year after a long pause due to COVID. One can easily ‘lose touch’ in terms of how to organize and coordinate everything to make the event successful. However, with dedication and effort, one can succeed in making TEDxSCLS a memorable event, and so this year’s Dare to Change was not the exception!”

“这是疫情导致长时间停顿后的第一个线下活动。经过漫长的等待和努力,组员们成功地使每一届TEDxSCLS成为一个令人难忘的活动。今年的‘破茧成蝶’也不例外!”


Kristin Espanola(Sponsor Teacher 指导老师) – “I am so proud of the SCLS TEDx team this year. Amidst all of the uncertainty, the March event proved to be the opportunity for students and teachers to engage in the powerful ideas our speakers were able to share. I am so honored to be part of this group and can’t wait for our next event!”

“我为今年的TEDxSCLS团队感到骄傲。活动前困难重重,活动中同学与老师们感受到演讲者思想的碰撞。我很荣幸能成为这个团队的一员,也迫不及待组织下一届活动!”

 Sophia Ji (Lead Organizer 主领导者) – “From every speaker's story of their courageous life to the event's organization process, we dared to change. We all transformed from small and plain-looking chrysalises into forceful and graceful butterflies, taking and spreading the pollens of ideas to places and people farther away. Great job, everyone!”

“从每位演讲者勇敢改变的人生故事到TEDx活动的组织过程,我们都‘破茧成蝶’了。我们都从小而朴素的蛹成长为有力而优雅的蝴蝶,将知识和思想的芬芳带到更远的人和地方。好样的!”


Jiayu Wang (Co-Organizer 副领导者) – “This wonderful TEDx event is the result of the hard work of every single person in the amazing team. As the first in-person event since COVID, we faced lots of challenges such as postponement and all kinds of policies. It was due to everyone’s continuous input—the countless coordinating, communicating, writing, editing, and re-editing—that this was all made possible, and I appreciated every minute of working together with this team :)”

“这次精彩的TEDx活动是团队中每个人辛勤工作的成果。这是自疫情以来第一个大型的线下活动,因此我们面临了诸多挑战。正是每个人的不懈努力——无数的协调、沟通、写作、编辑和再编辑——活动才皆有可能,我很感激与这个团队合作的每一分钟。”


Elaine Orange (Speaker 演讲者) – “This year was my first time participating in a TEDx event, and I was delighted! The organization of hard-working offstage members, teachers, and organizers was incredible, and the speakers' speeches were truly heartfelt. I'm so glad the event ran smoothly after everyone's hard work since September, thank you to the TEDxSCLS team!”

“首次参加TEDx活动,我非常激动!幕后工作人员的默默付出,老师和组织者的夜以继日,演讲者独到的见解,令我感动,自九月以来的努力终于有所收获。感谢TEDxSCLS团队!”


Addison Zheng(Host 主持人) – “It’s been a pleasure to work with everyone on this event. Although we've encountered a lot of trouble with COVID, we were able to overcome it and present an amazing show to the audience. I’ve enjoyed my time working with all the other members of the TEDxSCLS team and I hope to run it back next year.”

“很高兴能和大家一起参与这次的活动。尽管经历了一些波折,但我们还是克服它并向观众呈现了一场精彩的表演。我很享受和TEDxSCLS团队中每一位成员工作的时光,同时希望明年能够继续参加!”


Thank You! 致谢!


The flawlessness of the show could not have happened without all the hard work dedicated by the TEDxSCLS team members. From backstage staff to the speakers out front, the team members demonstrate thoughtfulness and responsibility, and above all, they “dare to change.” Regardless of the sudden pandemic outbreak last December, our team reacted promptly and changed the plans boldly. 

TEDx-ers, give yourself a pat on the shoulder! 


活动之所以精彩纷呈,是因为每一位TEDxSCLS团队成员的辛勤付出。从后台工作人员到台上的演讲者,每个人都圆满完成了任务。尽管去年十二月疫情突然爆发,但我们的团队反应迅速,大胆改变了原有的计划。TEDx-ers,我们是最棒的!



In addition, we would like to thank the teachers who helped us throughout the preparation process and the audience for being supportive and attentive to our event. Your support ensured the smoothness of the event, and your applause warmed our hearts!


此外,感谢在整个准备过程中帮助我们的老师,以及观众们对活动的关注!你们的支持保证了活动的顺利进行,你们的掌声温暖了我们的心~

It’s Your Turn to Shine!

现在轮到你大放异彩了!

The fourth TEDxSCLS event is a dare itself. To change does not simply mean to modify, but stands for trusting yourself and being courageous to take a step forward. 

 

第四届TEDxSCLS本身就是一个挑战。改变代表着相信自己,勇于迈出舒适圈。


Holding back and conforming to the norms is not the answer. It is time to stand up for yourself and show the world what you’ve got. Be the change instead of waiting to be changed!


切忌退缩不前、墨守成规,是时候向世界展现你所拥有的一切了。与其等待着改变,不如成为那个变数!期待你们“破茧成蝶”!

 

See you next year!

明年见!
