TEDxHelsinkiUniversity
"Who are we?"

The theme of TEDxHelsinkiUniversity revolves around the question “Who are we?”. This allows us to have a both multidisciplinary and multi-topical event. The aim is to address the question from the perspective of individuals as well as groups. The “we” can in fact mean different things such as a cultural, ideological or social group, humans or even the broader concept of living beings or even artificial intelligence. Other angles to discuss the theme can also be from an introspective point of view and, at the same time, exploring the relations between the self and the environment.
