Overall, there’s 4 categories of ideas, perspectives, stories, and talents that we seek to platform and amplify:
Our Creativity: Amplify multi-disciplinary Asian-Australian talents, especially emerging ones: Architects, animators, authors, actors, visual and performing artists, game designers, comedians, etc
Our Contemplations: Spread the perspectives and ideas of Asian-Australians from diverse professions eg. Science, technology, social innovation, education, environment, entrepreneurship, economics, society, academia, etc (excluding politics and religion disallowed by TED)
Our Champions & Celebrities: Who are your Asian HEroes and SHEroes? Sportswomen and men, celeb chefs, actors, and also long-standing Asian-Australians sharing their experiences and wisdoms.
Our Challenges: Surface and explore issues of importance and interest to Asian-Australians. These TED talks can be given by anyone from anywhere in the world.
