TEDx CLC Women
TEDx CLC Women
The TEDx CLC Women event was a memorable and thought-provoking experience centred around the theme ‘The Edge of Knowing’, exploring the space where curiosity meets uncertainty.
Organised by three SFC2 students (Betty, Choe and Amy), the event brought together six inspiring speakers from UC5 to SFC1 (Ehije, Tosin, Yannie, Georgia, Amy, and Maegan), covering a wide range of topics including medicine, politics, philosophy, history, astronomy and death.
Three of our speakers, Maegan (SFC1), Ehije (UC5), and Tosin (UC5) shared their experience:
When the opportunity arose to give a speech, initially I was reluctant to rise to such a challenge. But through the rigorous journey of studying, crafting, and refining, I began to really delve deep into what ‘The Edge of Knowing’ truly was.
Ultimately, I learnt how to critically and analytically research a topic whilst telling a story. A truly rewarding experience.

It was a fantastic experience filled with excitement and nervousness as the six of us speakers spent the last few days working together to perfect our speeches.
Maegan (SFC1)
Maegan continued: I chose to explore the idea of Near Death Experiences and the spectrum of death. I truly enjoyed every moment of the journey, and I am extremely grateful for this opportunity!
Throughout the event, students were encouraged to move beyond what feels familiar and engage with ideas that challenged their assumptions. From ethical questions in modern healthcare to reflections on political responsibility and the mysteries of the universe, the talks sparked meaningful discussion and genuine interest.
The atmosphere was warm, engaging, and filled with curiosity, allowing the audience to fully immerse themselves in the exploration of the ‘Edge of Knowing’.
When I initially found out I was selected to give a TEDx Talk, I was slightly uncertain because public speaking is not a favourite activity of mine.
However, after proceeding anyway, I got to give my final presentation to the other girls speaking and the organisers, and everyone was very supportive, so I felt ready on the day of the presentation.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience!
