TEDxPS Tribeless Testimonials

Testimonials from participants from TEDxPickeringStreet 2018's Tribeless Conversations

Transcript

1. “I think the likeness of experiences of other people surprised me. I didn't expect to be able to relate with people that were at different stages of life from me, but it was really inspiring to hear that they have had similar stories in the past or even right now. A lot of trust goes into this process – it was beautiful to have been a part of it!” MELANIE
2. “I expected to have a casual conversation over lunch. It turned out to be deep, real conversations! I'm very appreciative of this experience as it got me to learn, reflect, and most importantly hear interesting different perspectives. Thank you, Tribeless!” ARAVIND
3. “I was expecting it to be raw. It was true. It amazed me that strangers were willing to be so vulnerable, simply because the Conversation’s rules were accepting and empathetic!” SONIA ONG
4. “I initially imagined this session to be a mini TED Talk... It turned out to be a unique experience of reliving and empathising with other people's experiences. I didn't expect to get so emotional, and have the rare opportunity to cry publicly with new friends!” KATHERINE FENNEDY
5. “It was really good to hear alternative perspectives in SG. Often times I feel like these voices are silenced, or even censored.” ANONYMOUS
6. “I expected it to be quiet and awkward as it was a conversation with strangers who may judge what I say. However,I felt very listened to and gained a lot of insights from the conversations. I don't usually interact much with the older generation, so it was a very interesting to hear about their perspectives on life and their continual dreams and hopes for society!” ANONYMOUS
