- 15:31Pourquoi s'écouter peut changer ta vie | Wassim Bouchiouane | TEDxGEMÀ 14 ans, Wassim se lance sur YouTube par curiosité, mais la création de contenus devient rapidement une passion. En deux ans, il réunit plus de 5 000 abonnés. Pourtant, par peur du regard des autres, il abandonne, laissant derrière lui sa communauté et mettant sa passion de côté. En 2023, il décide de reprendre avec une nouvelle approche : des vidéos d’analyse sur l’actualité du football et un podcast, "Trajectoire", où il échange avec des personnalités inspirantes qui tracent leur propre chemin. Son objectif est clair : une fois diplômé, il souhaite vivre pleinement de ses passions et assumer enfin son rôle, celui qu’il aurait toujours dû oser jouer.

- 11:14The Myth of Purpose | Leslie Moloto | TEDxUniversityofPretoriaWhat if the way we talk about purpose is a lie?At TEDxUniversityofPretoria 2025, Leslie Moloto challenges the popular myth that purpose is something you find. Instead, he offers a fresh, physics-inspired perspective — that purpose is something you construct.Through the metaphor of vectors — representing both magnitude (our energy, talents, and passions) and direction (our values and desired impact) — Leslie explores how aligning who we are with what we want to do can turn potential into movement.Drawing from his experiences as an educator and leadership practitioner, he reminds us that purpose isn’t a moment of revelation, but a process of creation — built through small experiments, reflections, and acts of courage.This talk redefines leadership and purpose as dynamic forces that grow and evolve, showing us how to move not just forward, but forward with clarity.#TEDxUniversityofPretoria #Purpose #Leadership #Physics #Kaleidoscopic Leslie Moloto is an educator and leadership practitioner passionate about reimagining learning in Africa. With extensive experience in teaching, curriculum innovation, and design thinking, Leslie has worked with students and teachers from across the continent to spark curiosity, critical thinking, and agency. He leads initiatives that blend technology, leadership, and storytelling to cultivate future-ready leaders. Beyond the classroom, Leslie is committed to creating spaces where bold ideas and contradictions can coexist, driving meaningful conversations that inspire change. His work reflects his belief that education is not just about knowledge transfer, but about shaping societies that thrive in complexity.

- 9:20Power of Words | Theertha Hariharan Arulmozhi | TEDxUniversity High School YouthWhat if the biggest obstacle standing in your way wasn’t anyone else but yourself? For years, I let self-doubt and the pressure to be perfect control my life, convincing myself I wasn’t good enough despite endless effort. In my talk, I’ll share how persistence, self-belief, and learning to challenge your own inner critic can transform not just grades, but your entire approach to life. Theertha Hariharan Arulmozhi is a senior in high school who enjoys writing, doing scientific research, and sharing her passions for science and writing with those around her. She also runs a nonprofit called ViviSTEM, which aims to bring STEM mentorship and resources to children living in underserved communities.

- 11:56The lies we tell ourselves | Tlangelani Khosa | TEDxUniversityofPretoriaWho are you — really?In this deeply introspective TEDx talk, Tlangelani Khosa explores the complexity of identity, the stories we tell ourselves, and the quiet courage it takes to live beyond the labels society gives us. Through personal reflection and raw honesty, he challenges us to question the boxes we’ve built around our lives — the ones we think define us but often only keep us safe.This talk is a reminder that we are not tied to our labels. That we have the choice to show up anyway. And that we are allowed to not be perfect.With vulnerability and truth, Tlangelani invites us to see that self-discovery doesn’t begin when we have it all figured out — it begins when we realise we were never truly lost in the first place.#TEDxUniversityofPretoria #SelfDiscovery #Identity #PersonalGrowth #Kaleidoscopic #Authenticity Tlangelani Khosa (TK) is a purpose-driven digital creative and a dynamic storyteller whose journey is a testament to the power of faith and resilience.
