Crossing Borders: My Sacrifice, Struggle, and Hope | Yaryna Nakonechna | TEDxIPS Wroclaw Youth
In this deeply personal and thought-provoking talk, Yaryna shares her experience of emigrating from Kyrgyzstan and Ukraine, offering a unique perspective on the emotional and psychological challenges of being both an immigrant and a refugee. Through her story, she explores what it means to never fully belong - to always feel “not at home” and “not from here.” Backed by powerful data and personal reflection, Yaryna’s talk sheds light on the silent struggles faced by thousands around the world. It is a journey through identity, loss, resilience, and the search for belonging - one that invites the audience to rethink the meaning of home. Yaryna is a student with a multicultural background, originating from Kyrgyzstan and Ukraine. She recently completed her IGCSE examinations and is continuing her academic journey with a strong focus on international education. With a growing interest in global issues and cross-cultural understanding, Yaryna actively seeks opportunities to broaden her perspective through academic and extracurricular engagement.

- 19:06The Heartbeat of the World ! | The Mode . | TEDxMaviliSquareΑν η μουσική ήταν ταινία, το soundtrack θα είχε την υπογραφή τους.Οι The Mode δεν παίζουν απλώς μουσική — πλέκουν πολιτισμούς, εποχές και παλμούς σε ένα mashup που σε κάνει να θες να χορέψεις, να σκεφτείς και να χαθείς.Με το project KOSMOS, μας ταξιδεύουν από τον ηλεκτρονικό παλμό του σήμερα, στις μυστικές μουσικές του χθες. Γιατί κάπου ανάμεσα στο παλιό και το νέο, στον θόρυβο και τη σιωπή… εκεί χτυπά η καρδιά του κόσμου.Ακούστε. Νιώστε. Αφεθείτε στο ρυθμό.#TEDxMaviliSquare #TheModeLive #KosmosProject #ElectronicFusion #MusicWithMeaning #GlobalBeats #TraditionMeetsTech #SoundtrackOfOurWorld #TEDxPerformance #CulturalMashup #MusicThatMoves #FromSilenceToSound #HeartOfTheWorld #GreekMusicScene #FusionVibes.
