What is TED?
TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is a global platform where innovative thinkers share fresh ideas to inspire positive change. Through its talks, thousands of impactful concepts have led to groundbreaking initiatives and everyday innovations.
TEDxYouth events are independently organized TED-style conferences specifically designed for young people. These events follow the same principles as TEDx, focusing on spreading “ideas worth sharing,” but with content tailored to inspire, empower, and engage a younger audience.
