Community and Connection | LE UYEN MINH PHAM | TEDxDragon Bridge Youth

Wed May 7, 2025

In the talk Community and Connection, the speaker explores the true meaning of connection beyond the digital world. Using the metaphor of bridges, they discuss how communities are no longer limited by geography or language, especially for the younger generation. Through a personal story, the speaker highlights how sharing stories and experiences builds real connections, not just social media interactions. They reflect on the importance of emotional connection, where true understanding and empathy happen in vulnerable, meaningful conversations. The speaker calls for building bridges of empathy, unity, and belonging for future generations, emphasizing that the connections we make today shape tomorrow. Pham Le Uyen Minh is a Grade 11INT student at Sky-Line Global School with a deep passion for storytelling and meaningful reflection. As someone who has long aspired to stand on stage and share personal experiences, Minh believes that every individual holds a story powerful enough to shift perspectives and connect hearts. TEDxDragonBridge Youth provides the perfect platform for young voices like hers to be heard — not simply as speeches, but as sparks for positive change. With a thoughtful and sincere approach, Minh joins the TEDx community not only as a speaker, but as part of a generation striving to inspire, listen, and make a difference. Through her talk, she hopes to contribute to the collective effort of redefining how young people see themselves and the world around them. 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
