What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxYouth@Soweto, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxYouth@Soweto event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
TEDxYouth@Soweto 2011
In honour of Universal Children’s Day, we are excited to announce TEDxYouth@Soweto 2011 — 19 November at Intellilab, University of Johanneburg’s Kingsway Campus. TEDxYouth@Soweto will coincide with more than 85 similar events happening worldwide, including the first ever TEDYouth event in New York. The global theme for these events is “Play, Learn, Build and Share.” Our programme will begin with 6 live inspirational speakers and performers and a curated selection of mind-bending TEDTalks. Thereafter we’ll join a global audience of thousands when we cross live to New York for the groundbreaking TEDYouth programme.
