TEDxYouth@BWYA

The theme of this TEDx event was decided to be “Identity?”, a pertinent subject to a Youth event because at this age in life many will have doubts or new-found prospects about their own identity. Under identity, we’ve picked three sub-topics: Intercultural Understanding, Power of Art, and Resilience, all three that is pertinent to the international community in Beijing. During the event, we will be welcoming 8 speakers, four international school teachers and four students, whom, after two months of hard work, will be bringing their ideas onto this stage, and speaking out for something they fervently believe in. We hope this experience will be equally inspiring for everyone in the audience and all speakers to develop and learn as individuals, and promote further exchanges and discussion of thoughts.
