Interconnectedness with the Ecosystem | Ansh Uchil | TEDxAl Diyafah High School
The overall impact my talk creates, changes the way in which people think about nature and interconnectedness. My strong communication skills along with my love for nature will ensure a fresh perspective and confident delivery of ideas. Nature is full of lessons that remind us of the power of collaboration, resilience, and balance. And while the world outside might seem like it runs on instinct, it actually runs on relationships. In that way, we’re not so different from the forests, oceans, and creatures we share this planet with. So, let’s take a closer look at what nature can teach us not just about survival, but about living well together. And if you leave this talk feeling just a little more connected to the world around you (or slightly guilty about ignoring your houseplants), then I’d say it was a success.
I'm Uchil, a dedicated and passionate speaker who thrives on the thrill of taking the stage and making a difference. Over the years, I've had the privilege of participating in a wide range of public speaking events, from the debates of Model United Nations to the inspiring platform of TED Talks. For me, public speaking isn't just about delivering words, it's about sparking thought, challenging perceptions, and reshaping opinions that many believe are immovable. There's an unparalleled joy in connecting with an audience and leaving them with a new perspective to ponder. Beyond the microphone, I am deeply passionate about animals and the natural world, finding solace and inspiration in their beauty and resilience.

- 9:12Uncovering your true self, Discovering Connections | Prince Bejoy Jose | TEDxAl Diyafah High SchoolMy speech concentrates on one pivotal, yet incredibly misunderstood word. Connections. In my opinion, life is a random assortment of dots decided only by God, and we as humans are tasked with finding successful connections to tie these dots together. These connections can be as mundane as a paperclip, or a true friend who will stay with you through thick and thin. I am a Diyafah alumnus and a first-year college student in Dubai, pursuing a degree in IT and cybersecurity. It seems very peculiar, but the thing I enjoy the most is just helping people around me, along with a few lesser interests such as reading, singing, and debating. The satisfaction I get from helping someone out, be it a big or small task, is unexplainable, and it drives just to help that one more individual and, consequently, make the world a better place just one at a time.

- 9:07‘E’, The Secret to Rock N’ Roll | Iliya Lionel Dassanayake | TEDxAl Diyafah High SchoolMy idea dwells into where the letter " E" is found in human life. It stems into Empathy, Education, Exploration, Empowerment and Energy which are the 5 fundamental driving forces for the advancement of humankind This idea will tap into both linguistic and universal values in what the letter "E" can stand for. What it means musically as well; Most pop and rock guitar music is written in the key of " E" for strange but scientifically explainable reasons as well. I am passionate about finding meaning in everyday ideas and sharing them in a way that inspires growth and connection.
