We are not supposed to live | Franciszek Kolinski | TEDxYouth@EEB3

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: "And Against All Odds..." and, through their talks, shed light on some of the most pressing issues of our time. Through the diversity represented by the speakers, everyone will find something that interests them in the TEDxYouth@EEB3 programme. For better or for worse, humans have the potential to beat the odds. The main message of the event is that we should, therefore, seek out the unknown and defeat the odds to construct a better future. I will be speaking about the events that make the odds of you being alive as yourself infinitely small and the tiny chances of me presenting this talk here in a European school in Belgium given my Polish background from a lower-class family. I will also talk about how life is a wonderful gift that everyone should seize when they can because of its uniqueness and rarity. 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
