At this, the second TEDxYouth@BIFS event we have a combination of youth and adult speakers. The speakers are talking about a range of topics all with the underlying theme of perspective. Whether it's the perspective that we have of failure, the perspectives we place on social media, or the perspectives of using digital tools to help students express their creativity, we encourage you to come and open your mind.

Chaeri Yoo

Student

I am Chaeri Yoo, currently in grade 10 at Busan International Foreign School. I am from Korea but I have lived in two other countries, Switzerland and Singapore. Although I loved those places, I feel most comfortable in my home country and I am glad to be back. Few years from now, I developed an understanding of the importance of public speaking. It is important communicate your ideas to others, which is crucial in modern days. Although public speaking can be sometimes stressful and frightening, practicing makes it better. Therefore, I decided to join TEDxYouth, which will give me an opportunity to speak in public.
