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: "Cause and Effect" and, through their talks, explore the intricate web of actions and consequences that shape our world. From personal stories of transformation to groundbreaking research, the speakers will illuminate how seemingly small actions can lead to significant outcomes. Through the diversity represented by the speakers, everyone will find something that resonates with them in the TEDxYouth@EEB3 programme. Understanding cause and effect is crucial for navigating and influencing our world. The main message of the event is that by recognizing and harnessing this dynamic, we can make informed decisions and drive positive change. Dopamine – a very important molecule in our body for everyday life. It motivates us to get up in the morning, makes us feel alive and makes us feel the excitement of an ordinary day. But what if we are not excited about the day that lies ahead? That used to happen to me when I was a teenager but my favourite activities made me feel better. I could feel the surge of instant happiness by only thinking of watching a movie, playing a video game, ordering pizza or buying an ice-cream. I also felt very good when I saw and talked to my friends, classmates or colleagues. When corona pandemic started, my social life stopped existing and I didn’t feel as excited about the days as I used to. I tried to cope by eating more good food, watching more movies, playing more video games, but then…I fell into a depression. During last couple of years I slowly came back to my usual self, but it made me ask so many questions. What is happiness? Is it possible to always be happy? And most importantly, how? This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
