The event
A TEDx of their own, for their own people
Edunámica is an association that supports Costa Rican youth in their development, and Charlas Eco is its flagship space for inspiring them: a TEDx-style format where alumni and guests who already built successful careers return to the stage to share their experience with the boys and girls who are active members of the organization today.
Ciudad Click covered the event from start to finish, from the welcome to the closing photo, so Edunámica would have a complete visual record of the day.
The talks
Guests on stage, youth running the interview
Each guest had their moment in front of the audience, whether standing with a microphone or in a seated interview format, with the flags of Costa Rica and allied countries in the background. The distinctive part: the ones running the interviews and asking the questions were Edunámica's own youth, script in hand, in front of hundreds of their peers.
The hosts
Two young voices leading the whole program
Introducing each guest, keeping the afternoon's pace and running the interviews script in hand — all of it fell on two Edunámica students, standing in front of an auditorium full of their own peers.
The audience
An auditorium full of "Soy Edunámica"
The auditorium filled up with active Edunámica students, many wearing their "Soy Edunámica" t-shirts, attentive to every story. Documenting those reactions — the curiosity, the smile, the thoughtful expression — was as much a part of the event's memory as the talks themselves.
The closing
Music and a photo to remember it by
Between talks there was room for a musical interlude by one of Edunámica's own youth on the piano. And at the end, the customary photo: guests, staff and the organization together on stage, the symbolic close of a day meant to stay in the memory of everyone who lived it.

Conclusion
Inspiring stories deserve to be kept, too
Charlas Eco exists so that Edunámica's youth can see up close someone who already walked the path they're just beginning. That kind of moment doesn't happen the same way twice — which is exactly why it's worth documenting well.
Our job was to make sure that afternoon was recorded with the same care Edunámica put into organizing it.
