The Art of an Original Story | Csombor Balogh | TEDxDiscovery College Youth
What if Little Red Riding Hood was never actually a girl? In this witty and thought-provoking TEDx talk, Csombor Balogh explores the evolution of stories—how they shift across cultures, centuries, and storytellers. From ancient folktales to modern classics, Csombor dives into how stories aren’t just written, but reshaped over time, and why their origins matter far less than the impact they leave behind. Whether they teach, entertain, or connect us, stories are a powerful tool for understanding ourselves and each other. #TEDxYouth #Storytelling #Folktales #LittleRedRidingHood #ThePowerOfStories #CultureAndMyth #EvolvingNarratives #StudentTalks #FakeNews #LessonsThroughStories Hi! My name is Csombor, I have been in DC since Grade 1, and have since then held the importance of a story close to my heart. I get indulged in things, topics, and most importantly, stories. I am now aiming to pursue film in the future, in hopes of defining what a story is, but more importantly, the endangered species in modern cinema, an original story.
