#Theme
R-Evolution
What occurs when a group of people band together to support a bold notion and launch seemingly limitless possibilities for a better future? A Revolution.
Even the most distant movements have impacted our daily lives, and a spirit of revolution has captured and united many people at home and around the world. Ideas that shape the world today could lead to gradual change or momentary disruption. Driven by this energy, R-evolution investigates the revolutionary potential, challenging modern changemakers to consider the inevitable next step our society must make. How do you usethe means and capacity for revolution in order to further sustainable change and progress?
We looked for answers outside of the usual sources by bringing together multiple voices from very different disciplines.

At it’s 10th event in Sri Lanka across 12 years, TEDxColombo came back to give you an experience that will leave you inspired. TEDxColombo was formed by a group of young individuals to help spread awareness and allow our leaders and thinkers to speak from a global stage locally. This group comes from varying backgrounds and varying age groups with the same goal in mind. We showed our fellow Sri Lankans that we can only move forward at this time in our lives.
