Giữa vô vàn tiếng nói, tôi chọn giọng làng mình | Phạm Vinh | TEDxBTEC FPT Hanoi
His journey isn’t just about chasing trends or going viral, it’s about preserving the soul of his roots through storytelling. Gaining fame in 2021 with the viral video “The Nosy Neighbor and the Bottle of Pesticide,” he chose not the flashiest topics, but familiar rural tales, playing multiple roles in one video to bring them to life. What made his work stand out was its raw humor, emotional truth, and deep connection to Vietnamese countryside culture. Among all his characters, Cụ Phến remains the most iconic. With millions of followers and a unique voice, he proves that authenticity always finds its audience. With over 3.4 million followers on TikTok, 1.2 million on Facebook, and nearly 200,000 subscribers on YouTube, he is one of the most beloved content creators today. Without flashy effects or loud gimmicks, he wins audiences over with his simplicity, humor, and deeply relatable, down-to-earth characters - none more iconic than the one everyone knows: Cụ Phến.

- 12:00No estoy sola, y tú tampoco | Maria Paula Rodriguez | TEDxTES Youth¿Y si el miedo no fuera un enemigo, sino una señal de que necesitamos cuidado? Nos enseñaron a ocultarlo, a callarlo, a resistir… como si sentir fuera una debilidad. Pedir ayuda no es rendirse, es un acto de valentía. Aceptar nuestras emociones no nos rompe, nos revela. Porque ser fuerte no es cargarlo todo en silencio, sino reconocer que no tenemos que hacerlo solos. Maria Paula is a psychologist.

- 14:58Empathy is not what you think — and that’s the problem | Maria Alejandra Espinosa | TEDxTES YouthEmpathy is often seen as something soft, emotional, even optional, a nice-to-have in a world ruled by logic and efficiency. But what if we’ve misunderstood its real power? Empathy, when redefined, can become a driving force behind meaningful, lasting change. It should not only be seen as a feeling, but as a tool for questioning, understanding, and rebuilding the systems around us. Maria Alejandra is a 10th Grade TES student.

- 13:16El caos no es el fin, es el impulso | Lucia Caceres | TEDxTES YouthEl caos no siempre destruye. A veces, revela. Ansiedad, incertidumbre, desorden… pueden ser señales, no amenazas. Todo depende de cómo decides mirarlo. Tal vez ese momento en el que todo parece perder sentido sea, en realidad, el punto exacto donde algo nuevo está por comenzar. Porque soltar el control no es rendirse, es abrir espacio para lo que realmente importa: crecer, transformarse, empezar otra vez. Lucia Caceres is an 8th Grade TES student.

- 13:44No es la situación, es la interpretación | Jhon Sebastian Chinóme | TEDxTES YouthLo que otros llaman desventaja, muchas veces es solo una perspectiva equivocada. No es la condición, ni el diagnóstico, ni la dificultad externa lo que nos limita… es la forma en que la interpretamos. Nuestra mente tiene el poder de transformar un obstáculo en una oportunidad, pero solo si dejamos de mirar nuestras diferencias como debilidades. La verdadera barrera no está afuera: está en la creencia que decidimos adoptar frente a lo que vivimos. Jhon is a systems engineer who will be talking about how it feels to live on the autism spectrum.

- 14:58Why your purpose goes beyond you | Juan Sebastian Poveda | TEDxTES YouthSome ideas remind us that personal growth is never just personal. That the fire that drives us, when nurtured with honesty and persistence, can lead to something greater—something that extends quietly beyond our own ambitions. In a world that often pushes us to chase success for its own sake, we forget that real purpose doesn’t need to be loud or heroic. It simply asks to be true. Our combined passions naturally propel us forward when we pursue our purpose with clarity and consistency — revealing that staying true to it might be the most generous gift we can offer the world.

- 7:13Cuida el planeta, cuida el futuro | Gabriel Betancur | TEDxTES YouthParece un simple descuido... hasta que no puedes ignorarlo más. Una playa contaminada, una ciudad inundada, un colegio que no recoge su basura: todo se conecta en una verdad incómoda sobre el impacto de nuestras acciones diarias. Lo más aterrador no es lo que no sabemos, sino lo que elegimos no ver. El futuro del planeta está en nuestras manos, y ser parte del cambio empieza por dejar de alimentar el problema.
