TEDx Videos
- “The whole event was amazing. From the quality of the speakers, their ideas, the food, the breakouts, and the hosts. This was my first TEDx event and I will surely go to more because of the impact of this one on my life, both personally and professionally. The ideas stuck with me and gave me hope in our future. Thank you for sharing ideas!”
- “Engaging insights into thought-provoking topics. Love having youth share their passion and ideas with the community and having LEVEL 5 as the stage. “
- “The event was so smoothly run by Tosca, the organizer for TEDx Youth Jingshan. The talks were inspiring and motivated the entire audience. It was a wonderful night full of determination, celebration, awesome food and drinks, and even break-out activities. I absolutely loved it all.”
These are just some of the attendee reactions to the February 23 TEDxYouth@Jingshan event, where x = independently organized. TED.com created this TEDx program to encourage local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience — ISS was proud to sponsor TEDxYouth@Jingshan, where LEVEL 5 in-kind donated the venue for a day full of speakers, breakout sessions, videos, and more designed to inspire and inform. Lead by Tosca Killoran (Director of LEVEL 5 Shenzhen, TEDx Organizer), students, teachers, volunteers, and wider Shenzhen community members made this impactful day possible.
The videos of the talks are now live on the official TEDx Youtube page, and we’re excited to gather and share the links! From both student and adult speakers, you’ll enjoy engaging explorations of imagination, service, gender divides, storytelling, loneliness, dreams, growth, and so, so much more. Congratulations to these speakers and their coaches for truly amazing presentations!
