A brief introduction to quantum symmetries

In this talk, I would like to explain the concept of a quantum symmetry. We will focus on symmetries of simple combinatorial objects like finite sets and graphs. This can be approached either from the viewpoint of quantum groups or via diagrammatic categories. I will try to explain how drawing simple string diagrams can reveal interesting findings about quantum symmetries of certain objects.
