Theme: Our Generation

TEDxGleneagleSecondary is an independently organized school group comprised of passionate individuals who are dedicated to ideas worth spreading. Our conference is designed to foster growth and inspire young people. The talks vary widely in format, message, and ideas, but they share a common vision: to inspire curiosity and empower another generation.

As a youth event, we have decided that our TEDx Talk will centralize upon the theme of "Our Generation." Whether it be considering observations or breaking stigmas about today's youth, we can come together to openly discuss the potential of youth. In doing so, we EMPOWER another generation to pursue greater opportunities than ever before.
