en ~The Great Wonder~

In Japanese, the word “en” refers to “links”, when people meet and connect with each other as if by fate.
“En” is a prefix in English that means “to cause to be”, and transforms nouns into verbs.
Through this event, person and person will entwine.
Because of this event, something will begin to move.

In our 3rd TEDxUTokyo, we aspire to embrace the future in wonder, and to realize the idea that “en” envisions.
