WHY TEDxYOUTH?
Five things organizers love about TedxYouth Experiences:
- THE ENERGY “A kinetic energy that is unlike any other,” said one organizer.
- THE CREATIVITY Planning an event alongside young people makes you realize that kids have unique, crazy, extreme ideas that an adult might usually not think of — for the event, the activities, the speakers, everything!
- THE EMPOWERMENT Organizing a TEDxYouth event shows that kids are capable of much more than what’s expected. “The fact that youth, just like me, had planned and ran the event shocked me the most,” said one volunteer. “I thought the event was amazing and couldn’t believe that kids my age made the event happen.”
- THE ENTHUSIASM FOR NEW IDEAS“It was amazing to see how engaged youth team members were with the whole event and how thankful they were (and still are!) to be given such an incredible opportunity as being part of a TEDx event,” said an organizer.
- THE CONFIDENCE IN THE FUTURE "All in all, the event created awareness in the young minds of their ability to do whatever they set their minds to achieve."
