This Festival I have learned something that others may have not. Losing. I was excited when I was put for having an Outstanding Standpoint, but when I checked the final decision,I lost. Losing was saddening for me as I poured my soul into it but then I realized I have to be HAPPY. Happy I have good competitiors.And Happy I can try again
CONGRATS WINNERS! -
There are videos you can watch when you click on one of the topics. When I watch them, I realize how important these topics have been and how they need to be acknowledged more. It helped me speak up about them and learn many things on the way. It inspires me to encourage others about these topics and also help people realize how important it is.

I have learned a lot from the Topical Talk Festival! I've learned about how Olympic games exist were taking drugs is not checked (Enhanced Games), how prisons are unfair and cramps and their is a need for new prison rules (Prisons), how AI might take over most jobs in the future (AI), how immigrants have been neglected (Immigration), how people are anxious about their environment and their safety (Eco-Anxiety) and so much more! All of these things are important and should be shared more with the world. I hope I have the honour of participating in the Topical Talk Festival next year as well!

Hello everybody 🖐🏻🔥, the best topic I really enioy it was immigration.
I like that because I learned that it's not firstly nice to immagirate, migration can also cause other problems, such as Segregation,Cultural clash, discrimination and human trafficking.
Immigration is when individuals move from one place to another or any movement from one part of the country to another. People migrate for job opportunities,better education and improving life conditions.
Travel and migration are an interconnected term. Individuals will continue to move freely from one place to another or any movement from one part of the country to another. People migrate for job opportunities, suitable choice or purpose.
It is really good I like it because immigration increases the working-age population.
Egypt is my country. It is the most commonly country that have laws. The law regulates the permanent and temporary immigration law and sets out its procedures.The immigration always happen to Saudi Arabia, Some people immigrate to find food or to have a good learning. So that it is so nice thing.
Thank you ❤🥰. -
Hello everyone I am really grateful for this opportunity that I got to discuss various important issues with all of you. I am very grateful for this opportunity to discuss various important topics with you. I think all the experts influenced my way of thinking in one way or another and they were very helpful and informative in their respective fields of work. But for the experts who have gained the most attention and influenced my mindset, the ones that stand out the most are Caroline Hickman and Joycelyn Longdon. They are both experts on the subject of eco-anxiety. Honestly, the topic of eco-anxiety is one of my personal favorites because I think it’s so important for us to talk about environmental change. I believe that we young people are the future, if we are not aware of these issues, then who can create change, it is important for us to discuss these issues, I feel these two experts have influenced my mindset. This problem not only affects our environment but also our mental health. I loved Jocelyn Longdon's talk where she talked about how everyone, whether rich, poor or living in different conditions, suffers from eco-anxiety because it doesn't affect different classes of people but things that affect people , because they are part of the ecology. this planet. I'm also a fan of Caroline Hickman's work, where she talks about the mental sabbatical we take from these issues around us, and she made me realize the fact that if a flower doesn't bloom, We should not blame the flower but the environment and that is what we are doing and that is what we are suffering from now because we blame ourselves for the destruction. While we are the cause of these devastations, some parts of these situations are beyond our control, so instead of blaming each other, we should work together to save the planet.

Hello 👋🏻
The festival expert I learned something important from was Phyllida Swift. I learned to follow my dreams even if I have a disability in my body. This is important because if you gave up you might forget your dream and never do it whenever possible.
The thing that everyone need to know is:
Not to surrender even if what happened you need to know you are special and unique, stay strong as you are already!
Never succumb ☺️ -
Actually, the person who inspired me and taught me the most was Chloe topical talk, because she showed me the importance of up levelling and making sure to read through your work. Another reason would be not only to share your own opinion but also an opposing one to show what other people might be experiencing and how it could effect them. Although you may think that your comment is perfect you always need to make sure the information is accurat and that isn't offensive to anyone else. Thank you to all topical talk volunteers for helping me to understamd the steps of sharing your opinion.

The festival expert I learned something important from was Zanny Minton Beddoes, the first female editor-in-chief of The Economist. I learned why women's equality is important. This is important because, in most parts of the world and in some societies, men have too much control over women, and the women don't have the ability to do what they want to do. This made me realise that when women are restricted, economies lose out on their talents and potential. Research shows that countries with greater gender equality tend to be more stable. For example, if women can't get an education or a good job, it limits their ability to contribute to their family's well-being.
Thank you -
Hello everyone!
Luba Kassova taught me that social biases can hold back gender equality. She believes in using storytelling to speak up for people who are often ignored. This is important because it shows how everyone's stories matter, and sharing them can help make society more fair. Kassova's work inspires me to listen to diverse perspectives and stand up against discrimination. I also loved her tedex talks❤️
Thank you! -
Firstly I am so glad to be in the festival because I learnt allot of things such as connecting topics like business and how it's connected to all the topics together as well as the skills listening, speaking, problem solving and creativity which made me improve my skills as well as how I think also it opened for me a vast array of fields which I liked.
I loved the experts and they got me thinking about more things. All the experts I've been with them learnt me more about the topics like women in media and how important are women as well as AI . We knew our questions answer like will media always be right in the women in media topic and this was wrong also will AI destroy the humanity if it got out of humanity's hand therefore a robot or a teacher is better although it was learning competition, we enjoyed the polls and the final quizzes in each topic .
Thanks -
Hi there! The festival expert who taught me something important was JoycelynLongdon, and she had some fascinating insights about the role that climate anxiety can play in addressing climate change.
To give you an example of what she meant, let's say you're feeling anxious about the fact that the planet is warming up. This anxiety might motivate you to make some changes in your own life – maybe you start eating a more plant-based diet, or you start taking public transportation instead of driving your car. These small changes might seem insignificant, but they can actually add up to make a big difference.
And here's another example – let's say you're feeling anxious about the fact that there are millions of plastic bottles being thrown away every day. This anxiety might motivate you to start carrying a reusable water bottle with you wherever you go. Again, this might seem like a small change, but if lots of people start doing it, it can have a huge impact on reducing the amount of plastic waste in the world.
The point that Joycelyn was making is that by harnessing our climate anxiety, we can become more aware of the issues facing our planet and more motivated to make changes in our own lives. And when more and more people start making these changes, we can create a ripple effect that leads to positive change on a larger scale.
So if you're feeling anxious about climate change, don't despair – instead, use that anxiety as a motivation to make a difference. Every small change counts, and together, we can create a better future for ourselves and the planet. -
The the festival expert that inspired me the most is Joycelyn Longdon. I used to feel anxious about climate change and didn't know what to do because I believed that there is nothing I could do to stop it. However, after watching her video I became inspired and I now believe that even at my young age, I can make a positive change. I can channel my fear into positive Action to help protect my community and the planet. Her words and actions have truly changed the way I feel and I now have the hope that together and no matter how long it takes, we can work to protect the planet.

The festival expert i learned something important was Caroline Hickman. After watching her video on eco-anxiety, I learned that it's okay to feel scared or anxious about a situation, and you shouldn't be afraid to tell your friends because they can help you overcome it. This is important because facing your fears alone can be overwhelming. It helped me realize that it's okay to feel afraid or anxious about something as long as you confront that fear and work to overcome it.

In festival I have learnt about luba cassova that many people are getting judged by how they look and how their skin colour looks and of how they dressed and stuff but to my understanding girls and boys are both the same they're just different gender because if boys turn into girls then It will be very boring because of how you look.many people say that it's a fair game that boys get more than girls and they deserve more but this is not true we have to stop this and make gender equality more famous then the popularity of harassment judgments.

The Festival expert I learned something important from was Selam Gebrekidan. I learned about the different types of gender inequality, and it helped me better understand why we should honour and appreciate women. I also learned that not all men are good, but not all women are either. I had felt that the Standpoint that Selam gave on her experience with gender inequality was a respectable take that I very much began following. I had also felt that, in her challenge, she gave one of the most complex and multi-faced challenges that any expert had given. This is simply because, unlike previous challenges, which would challenge your skills with a question related to the topic, Selam pulled an UNO Reverse Card, which reversed what you were supposed to do. The question is something that proves that inequality can exist in a peaceful way. The question of 'Are men better at reporting men than women, and are women better at reporting women than men?' The question is a case of inequality that is justified because of the circumstances. Would you want a man creeping into the women's restrooms? But would you like a woman doing the same thing? The question took the meaning of equality to the absolute limit and made me question my understanding of the topic. She educated you on how important gender equality is, and then she asked you a question that is completely logical but goes against the very principle of gender inequality. It's just like the 10 Commandments of The Holy Bible; one of these Commandments is that thou shalt not kill. But what if a burglar is about to kill you? Then you break the Commandment. Except this time, the topic is much more multi-faceted because you're speaking to thousands of people from across the globe. So, I believe that Selam Gebrekidan was the expert who affected me the most. She provided a clear argument for gender inequality, and then she asked a question that is logical but breaks the first rule of gender inequality. She provided an amazing argument and a question that tested that argument. I believe that she helped me improve my thoughts and inner understanding about gender inequality. She also made me realise that not all inequality is bad; some of it is justified because of how different men and women are. And Selam, if you're reading this, thank you for changing and inspiring me about the topic known as gender inequality. You showed a respectable ideal, and then you tested that ideal to the limit. Thank you, Selam, for all that you have taught me.

The Festival expert I learned something important from was Raman Rai. I learned that AI can be so great, and it is solving some huge global issues. AI is helping us in so many situations, which we may not consider a problem today but it can become an issue some time later, like extinction of bees.
At present, many people consider AI as something which should come to an end. But, she remained positive, and outlined some very important topics, like AI is helping deaf people, it can also prevent cancer, it can detect heart attack a few years before, and so more.
Looking at the positive effects of AI is important because it can really help us, humans in many ways. Solutions to many issues are now being found which was not possible 10 years before, because AI was not so much developed. It is also important for humans to develop, machines are able to do hazardous work, so that no human is hurt. It can make analysis faster than humans because AI has a huge amount of data, which can keep us updated, and that is why it took humans' place. But, after all there are professions which only humans are capable of doing, and they are not few in number, but a lot.
Altogether, Raman Rai inspired me to study about AI in more deep, and how AI is helping solve some severe issues which humans were facing from a long time. Additionally, her work also inspired me, to become someone like her, and also find solutions to many problems with the help of technology. -

Hello,
The Festival expert I learned something important was from Zanny Minton Beddoes . I learned that women equality may seem to be increasing in a rapid and good manner but if we look a bit outside our personal box that there is still a handful of countries in which women live in a patriarchy and are controlled by men . What I have learned from this is sometimes we need to look broader than our country and our own situation as you will be able to have a wider point of views on things not just on women rights but other things like poverty so as a privileged being able to sympathize with them . This is important because being able to have a wide point of view will help you in many aspects of your life . This could be ranging from helping with your school work to you volunteering or helping with less fortunate people .
Thank you for reading . -
The Festival expert I learned something important from was Caroline Hickman . I learned about climate change and its impact on mental health. This is so important because climate change is not just an environmental issue but also a threat to our mental health.
The fear associated with climate change causes eco-anxiety. Some people also experience eco-grief which is a sense of deep sadness and mourning for the loss of species, ecosystems and the natural world.These emotional responses leads to a decline in mental health. There are various types of natural disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires and floods. Due to these disasters many people lose their family, homes, livelihoods and all these losses contribute to psychological challenges such as anxiety, depression etc.
Caroline Hickman's expertise is the importance of acknowledging and addressing these mental health impacts. By raising awareness and understanding about the psychological consequences of climate change, individuals and communities can take steps to promote resilience and conformation . From her I also learned that if we see bad news about climate then we should see good news about the climate too. We should always find a balance. If we do this, we will not have a mental breakdown.
Last but not the least, By working together we can foster a sense of empowerment which is crucial for maintaining positive mental health in the face of environmental challenges. -
The festival expert I learnt something important from was Luba Kassova.I learned that today we all are living in world where we are provided with all facilities and are unaware of the harsh world which is "absently present" around us..from her topics I came across various problems like social biases or inequality which I thought minor but they are giant issues which are making us resistant to leave the old so called traditions...I love how she speaks up for those who are silent but are struggling daily...if I talk about my daily life this particular topic has made me realise the importance of womens playing roles all around me as mothers,sisters,daughters,wives and many others..it made me realise their importance in my life as the "PILLARS OF WORLD"...from this festival the most I think I am taking the most precious thing which is knowledge which will stay forever with me without being vanished,I started observing things and issues more carefully and practically after this festival...I am thankful for this festival for letting me learn about various global issues and share my thoughts and opinions on them..it gave me a platform to intract with people globally and also the confidence to put up my thoughts among others..I am glad to get this opportunity to speak without any hesitation that this open platform has made a huge difference in my life in a positive way!!!
Thank you -

I have a very good and exciting experience Because I learned new cultures and things, and I actually learned completely from the other comments, or that I express my opinion in a natural way without fear, and this affects me in a positive way, whether I or others, so we all benefited and took information, and I did not receive any conditions, and this really affected me greatly.

I loved this festival so so much , i spent alot of time making standpoints and comments and from this i improved my skills in English.
I learned alot about AI since many people made standpoints on it same thing for Doping and all the other topics.
I also learned that everyone has different opinions on the topics.
I can't wait for the next festival! 😍
Bye now 👋. -
Greetings to all !
The Festival expert I learned something important from was Zanny Minton Beddoes.
I learned a quote that “Nations that fail women, fail.” this quote means that nations who disrespect , don't give opportunities and nations that are practicing gender inequality may get fail. This is important because , in today's time people are just taking gender inequality as regular and they are in continuous practice of discriminating womens, the women's are also not getting the same chances that men get. Several stereotypes are also made here . This type of practice may take the nations down. So at last, we should always give a chance to women as like men . We should also abandon the practice of gender stereotypes and gender inequality.
Thank you !! -
Hi Everyone!
The Festival expert I learned something important from was Aron D'Souza who is the president of the Enhanced games.
In his videos or interviews he talked about 2 different things-
1- The Enhanced games would not have any checking for performance enhancing drugs.
2- The Enhanced games would only hold the competitions of sports that are popular.
These facts have helped me to make a realisation-
1- If the Enhanced games would not have any drug checking then it would be a bad idea to continue them. Sports is about qualities like discipline and honesty, and the enhanced games would actually spoil those qualities because of their lack of drug checking.
2- The Enhanced games would only hold the competitions of sports that "matter" (popular). I believe that all of the sports matter regardless of their popularity and all the sports are beneficial in different and important ways.
Thank You! -
Hello everyone
As this is the last competition, I would like to thank the topical talk team for these interesting activities and making us aware and including us in such amazing discussions. For me, It was very difficult to choose which expert or topic should I talk about because honestly, they were all so interesting. All the experts have given me some new piece of information. Most of them have given me new perspectives and changed my way of looking at the particular topic. But since I have to choose one for the competition, here goes my response
The festival expert I learned something important from was Luba Kassova. I learned from her about the crucial role of Journalists in bringing about gender equality. I important thing I learned from her was about the inequality towards the female news editors and journalists and that is indeed very sad. I was very shocked to hear this. This inequality needs to stop immediately because both men and women work equally hard for the same position. An important thing she taught me was about social biases. That is Important to learn because apparently we may be saying that we don't discriminate between genders but our belief on various social biases and and strong support towards it makes us the part of the inequality. It's the responsibility of each and every individual to break the norms and stop following and supporting such social biases and believes and foster the true meaning of "equality" between genders.
Thank you -
First and foremost, I want to thank all of the experts for giving me the opportunity to express my opinion freely. Actually I can't choose one particular expert because I learned from all of them, but if I have to choose just one I will go with Caroline Hickman. Because it's important for all people to know more about Climate change. Also, I am very happy to find that that a large number of people are aware of the danger of climate change. It is the challenge of our time, so that we can prepare well for the future. Climate affects our lives, animals, food sources, and our future. It's not to late to fix our mistakes and start again. From this hub I realized that we can spread awareness and make everyone aware of the climatic changes, together we can save our planet.

I have heard many experts, discussing on different fields of various topics, some relate to our future - AI, our amazement - Enhanced Games , Actual scenario of ecuador - Prison issue, Economic background of a country which leads to Immigration and many more topics to go on. But one of topic I realized that should rise was - Cause of Eco - Anxiety. So, here's one of the experts who talked for the same.
The festival expert I learned something important from was Caroline Hickman, Psychotherapist in the 'University of Bath'. I learned about several things from the topic that are, There are a lot of things going around us in the world upon which we all worry,which convicts us to create the environment of anxiety. The positive and negative thoughts that bloom up in our mind, and when we pressurize and know more about a particular topic we get in a fluster for a specific topic and that thing gets bigger and bigger in our mind. We all have our different perspectives on an issue, and we really feel like sharing it with others. This is important because we need to get aware, that we need not to worry about a particular thing and just gossiping about it which just exaggerates the issue in public and it results nothing. When we say that, 'We need to improve technology' it justifies that we from our side should do something for the technology and climate which makes our anxiety worth. Also, the media also need to change its working way, by clarifying the truth and initiating ideas for its betterment, rather than exaggerating lies and gaining everyone's attention. Hence, we always need to clarify the truth and move a step ahead towards a change for the better. -
I don't remember who the expert was, though I learned a lot about enhanced games, and how people are openly able to do drugs to have a higher chance of winning, in whatever games they are participating in.
-
In this festival I have learned many things and also I've shared by opinion in many topics and it was great to share my opinion for many people's in other countries I'm also the topics was great and I was interested in and many thoughts such as artificial intelligence, women in media, eco_anxiety and I would like to share in this festival the next year

I learned from the amazing expert Mrs.Caroline Hickman that there must be a balance between good and bad and I agree with her point of view.
Before watching her video ,I thought that everything must be perfect but she changed my mind as sometimes the sun may be shiny and that is marvelous and at the same time there is a volcanic eruption and that is awful. Mrs Caroline helped me to contemplate in the frightful volcanic eruption event as I discovered that after a long time the lava converts to precious metals and those metals are used to manufacture machines that are useful for mankind .
There must be good and bad ,because simply no one lives in great life in everything who is rich may have a bad health and who is poor may have a good health.
Finally ,she inspired me and made me full of passion towards eco anxiety topic, and that pushed me to make my great standpoint. -

❤️ I would like to thank the festival much as as possible because I have benefited a lot from it as I have learned from the researches I have done about the written topics Like
AI💡🖥️
Is learning programming and codes important for children? I learned from this topic that learning artificial intelligence is the future of humanity Parents should teach it to their children because this will allow them to get better job opportunities
Eco anxiety🏞️➡️🏜️
I have learned from researching in this topic There are many phenomena that cause environmental danger, the most important of which is global warming, which is the rise of the temperature in the Earth's atmosphere And I learned the reasons How to avoid it happening and how you as a person can reduce this problem -
I have learned so many things from the Topical Talks festival. I have learned how to share my experience and my way of thinking freely which made me more confident. It has helped me learn about new things such as (Enhanced games) and how should we get what we want by practicing and working hard not by depending on other things.
Another great topic was about (women in media) which has made me feel motivated and inspired. -
Hi there! This year was a great advantage for me, because I entered the Tropical Talk festival. I learnt many things from the topics of the festival, and even the festival itself. I learned many things about many topics like AI - education and the future of work. I learned more about AI and the future of it, or eco - anxiety. I learnt about many topics from it, like global warming and pollution. I learnt more about Women in media. About the festival it improved for me the language and my way of speaking & pronunciation.
THANK YOU! -
I learned something important from Zanny Minton Beddoes. I learned that most peace negotiators are women. This is important because I think this will make people understand how well women are doing in the society as their negotiation are often successful and done in peace.
Some people might think that women might not be capable of ruling the country and I think that might be why they are left out. Women were once seen as servants, with others telling them what to do but now they have the same place as men and we can see that women can do something better than men:negotiation. -
The festival expert I learned something important from was Daniel Hume. I am a huge enthusiast for anything related to science and technology. Through Daniel Sir's challenge, I delved deeper into how AI might impact our future and how it might change, opening up a fascinating panorama of possibilities across various sectors. Through my research work, I found out about various aspects that might be affected by AI in society, such as its humongous impact on health care, agriculture, and the overall world. It's equally exciting to me thinking about where this technology could go next, such as an exciting idea I came across related to potential changes in environmental conservation, where AI could monitor endangered species or manage waste more efficiently, or in making education more accessible and effective. All of these curiosities and new ideas led me to make my standpoint on the topic of what the future of AI is. As the future of this world, I hope to make it better using these tools that we have, integrating AI in shaping the world for all, to make a mould where all fit.

Upon looking back at the festival from the very first week to the last, I've been motivated by all the experts: Kim, Jocelyn, Claire, Daniel, Emma, Raman, and all the experts on various topics. This competition has really been a roller coaster ride with you all. As we conclude 2024's competition tomorrow, the festival expert who has moved me, my friends, and my environment is Jocelyn from the eco-anxiety topic. Her view on seeing the positive aspect even when things are dark and gloomy really made me learn how to be a positive person amidst a crowd of negatives. I feel this is very important because when people are troubled or experience anxiety, you knowing that you can channel your troubles and fears can motivate that person to do the same and more. I always thought that experiencing climate change in low-developing countries like mine wouldn't mean much because, as a country, we are already far behind the whole world. I can proudly say that, with your perspectives, I have engaged in movements, and I am fully interested in this topic. Thank you very much to all of you. It's been amazing.

I have really enjoyed this festival and my favourite topic was the Enhanced Games. At first I thought it was a great idea but when we delved deeper I realised that it can really harm the consumer.
-
First, and before I say anything, I would like to say that it was a great honor for me to join "Topical Talks Festival 2024". I gained great experience in this amazing festival. It improved my reading and writing skills in English. Actually, All the topics in this festival were so interesting and beneficial. I learned about many new topics like Eco-Anxiety, Immigration, business and politics, Artificial Intelligence and enhanced games. My favorite topic was Artificial Intelligence (AI). You see, I have been interested in technology since my childhood so it was my chance to write about this topic because I am passionate about AI. Another topic I liked is Eco-Anxiety. It is a great topic that encourages us to care about our environment and think carefully about serious solutions for this massive problem. When I read standpoints about Eco-Anxiety, I realized that we must keep this issue in mind. I really appreciated this important topic. That was all, thank you for reading my opinion about "Topical Talks Festival 2024".

I think Phyllida Swift made me learn an important aspect of practical life , the way say explained us why the business don't want to speak in favor or basically on any political or social issue . The things see explained are really important for a person who admires any brand for the morals the brands hold by being completely non bias but this just a false cape , what brand are doing is avoiding any lash of interest situation so that it never affects their business , the example se gave was very easy way to understand such deep topic .
I also learnt that although we on media say inequality is now extinct we respect and treat everyone equally , but see showed us the truth , people with facial differences are still kind of unacceptable in the society . nowadays also if you have a facial difference and go out in public people will stare at you with thought , that what freak . If you go for auditions the roles you'll get will be of a villain or a survivor . So this learning was important to really understand the mindset acceptance of society on ground level. -
In this festival I have learnt many things which truly made me realise that before being a part of this festival I had no knowledge about anything happening around the world. All the expert and topic were fantastic, but The festival experts I learned something important from was Miss Caroline Hickman. This is important because climate change is the biggest challenge nowadays. Miss Caroline Hickman made me realise that if any action is not taken immediately to safe our mother earth than there will be no option left for us to just sit and repent. To be honest earlier I was not at all worried about pollution I used to use personal vehicles just to travel a small distance instead of walking. But when suddenly air pollution increased in India I saw many people suffering from Asthma and at that time I got to know the importance of clean air. I am a dust allergic person too, I had to cover my mouth whenever I used to travel from polluted areas. Miss Caroline Hickman inspired me to find a solution for this problem and yes with the help of social media I found out that there is a solution made by Angad Daryani. Angad is an Indian who suffered from asthma since his childhood hence he decided to make an Air filter. Mostly machine have expensive filters, but Angad made this Air purification technology without filters and now he is helping to clean the air in India. I truly thank all the experts especially Miss Caroline Hickman because she made me realise the importance of Environment.
Thank you. -

lying or fear ❤ which affects me positively in my life 😄and when I get stars🌟 I feel that I want to write more and more📝. so want to thank the Topical Talk Festival 2024🌹 and I hope I have participate in this competition Next year.💞 -
Hello, there.
The festival expert I learnt something important from was Abhinandan Sekhri. I learned about Indian election. This is important because he provided me transparent, clear, unbiased and objective information about Indian elections. I learned how important elections can be to a country. Through his interviews, challenges etc. I got to know about Indian elections and its electoral system, importance and justification of "Fast Past the Post" etc.
Elections are a process where people vote to choose the right representatives who will run the country. This year is going to be very election year. In 2024 elections will be held in India, the most populous country. The process of this electoral system will be "Fast Past the Post". This selection process is different from other selection processes. In this process, the party with the most votes may not win. Also, elections should not be conducted in a country at war because if the election is conducted at this time, there will be a risk of loss of life of the people besides, it will not be possible to conduct elections properly. Also, through Abhinandan's speech, I got to know more about what the youth can expect from a leader. As a young people, I will ask my leader to do whatever is necessary for the overall development of the country. For example - poverty alleviation, solving various social problems, stopping discrimination against women, providing education to every citizen of the country, fulfilling basic needs etc.
All in all, Abhinandan Sekhri has changed my view of the Indian electoral system. Through him I learned about the importance of elections for a democratic country. Through his speech I realized that the electoral system of India is very fair to the people and supports democracy. It also helped him to study more about the subject. Also, Abhinandan Sekhri helped immensely to understand every single thing about "Election System of India".
Many thanks from my side to Abhinandan Shekhri. -
This festival was outstanding I have to say . This made me feel of every qualities not just within my self but I think in every ones . This festival made me to write my views globally without hesitating which is a very important value which is to speak your thoughts .
Even I learnt to listen to everyone and collect people’s perspectives - as by reading every view and getting new ideas and coming to an end point by seeing all the ways the decision might go to , problem solving-by many hub discussions and problems in them made me think to new ideas and ways which made my mind to think and engage my mind to solve a particular issue and the last thing which I would like to say regarding the festival is is that , it made me to read the newspapers and listen the news for staying updated regarding the current affairs .
Itmade me go through to different leading topics of the world like AI , immigration policies , Indian elections and the fairness , growing of women power ect .
And the experts were so challenging and made me to accept those challenges. And to solve them . Emma hogan also made me to increase my thinking skills as the point when at the point when I was writing about that was it right to restrict people’s freedom . She inspired me a lot as she made me go through that sometimes it is important to raise questions which are very hard to answer . -

Hello everyone!
Luba Kassova taught me that social biases can hold back gender equality. She believes in using storytelling to speak up for people who are often ignored. This is important because it shows how everyone's stories matter, and sharing them can help make society more fair. Kassova's work inspires me to listen to diverse perspectives and stand up against discrimination. I also loved her tedex talks❤️
Thank you!

Hi there! The festival expert who taught me something important was JoycelynLongdon, and she had some fascinating insights about the role that climate anxiety can play in addressing climate change.
To give you an example of what she meant, let's say you're feeling anxious about the fact that the planet is warming up. This anxiety might motivate you to make some changes in your own life – maybe you start eating a more plant-based diet, or you start taking public transportation instead of driving your car. These small changes might seem insignificant, but they can actually add up to make a big difference.
And here's another example – let's say you're feeling anxious about the fact that there are millions of plastic bottles being thrown away every day. This anxiety might motivate you to start carrying a reusable water bottle with you wherever you go. Again, this might seem like a small change, but if lots of people start doing it, it can have a huge impact on reducing the amount of plastic waste in the world.
The point that Joycelyn was making is that by harnessing our climate anxiety, we can become more aware of the issues facing our planet and more motivated to make changes in our own lives. And when more and more people start making these changes, we can create a ripple effect that leads to positive change on a larger scale.
So if you're feeling anxious about climate change, don't despair – instead, use that anxiety as a motivation to make a difference. Every small change counts, and together, we can create a better future for ourselves and the planet.
