The Space Between
This year’s theme, The Space Between, explores the dilemmas and trade-offs that shape the choices we make every day, calling us to look closely at the areas where boundaries blur and values conflict. In a world where rapid advancements, social shifts, and ethical questions are ever-present, The Space Between calls on us to reflect on the choices we make and the boundaries we draw. Through this theme, we take a look at a range of perspectives that will shed a light on these spaces and inspire us to find common ground, fostering a thoughtful, connected, and resilient future.

To elaborate..
We are excited to announce that we will also be organizing our annual Student Pitch Night event on Tuesday the 14th of January 2025! This evening will kick off at 20:00 in the NU Building - Room 4A25 at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
It will take place before the fifth annual TEDx VUAmsterdam event, which is taking place April 24th 2025.
​
Have you ever wanted to experience speaking at a TEDx event? This evening could be your chance to showcase your ideas and originality to a wider audience and jury by delivering a 5-minute speech on a personally chosen topic of interest.
The goal of the Student Pitch Night is to find a creative and highly-driven student speaker from the VU in January, who can present their topic alongside other speakers during the main TEDx VUAmsterdam event in April with this year's theme: The Space Between. If you are chosen as a speaker for our main event in April, you will be provided with a speaker coach to ensure you are ready to speak on the big stage!
