How will today's teenagers shape our future? An insight to this was shared on Feb 25th 2017 by Al Yasmina Academy students from Abu Dhabi, who hosted an exclusive TEDx event titled: There is more to us than meets the eye. They took to the stage to enlighten an audience of special guests and media members.

Tackling a variety of timely, thought provoking topics, the talks explored subjects including the impact of the media on human compassion, how we can tackle personal confusion, and why music is a language. Other topics, such as the importance of artistic creation in modern culture and how to sell ourselves to succeed in life, were also explored.

In this talk, Shahzain Khan discusses the importance and representational nature of artistic creation in modern culture and how it affects us as consumers of art.

Shahzain Khan is an Aldar Academies Al Yasmina Academy student in Abu Dhabi.
Shahzain wishes to pursue a career in filmmaking. Currently, he enjoys debating and has taken part in several competitions across the region.
