On April 4th 2025, TEDxNHCE hosted its second chapter themed “Kintsugi: Redefining Imperfections,” inspired by the Japanese philosophy of embracing flaws. The event featured a powerful lineup of speakers—including tech experts, athletes, creatives, and legal professionals—who shared stories centered on resilience, innovation, and authenticity. Interspersed with engaging performances and moments for reflection, the event created a space for meaningful conversations and personal growth. As the day unfolded, the spirit of Kintsugi resonated deeply within the NHCE community, leaving a lasting impact that encouraged students to see their imperfections not as weaknesses, but as unique strengths that shape their personal journeys.
