TEDxKids@Chiyoda is a community in Tokyo to provides a journey of discovery and surprise to children who create the future and adults who create the environment for children.
In 2014, we set the theme as "Unknown Colors".
We think that to meet "Unknown Colors" is the choice to create the future.
In this world, there is a variety of ideas, way of life and values.
However, we just look at what we want to look.
If you take one step forward and look around, you will see a lot of undiscovered and unexpected beautiful things around you. It’s not only outside but inside of you as well. And it might change your point of view.
We invite speakers from diverse fields who can share ideas that you ever know. We would like you to find your own "Unknown Colors" though their talk.
