TEDxCMU: CATALYST

It takes a catalyst to create meaningful change. Those who are catalysts shake up the status quo. They add new ideas, new dreams, and new perspectives that can shift the societal dogma. They change perspectives, and can elevate the minds of those who are receptive. A catalyst transforms an existing narrative by proposing new ideas, and telling stories that matter deeply to them.

It is imperative that we listen to each other to solve the problems of today and tomorrow. TEDx Catalyst hopes to inspire you to make change when you can, and make the world what you want it to look like.
