TEDxKids@Gbagada

The objective of this theme is to get our Kids to see themselves as part of a global community and to challenge the assumption that at such a young age, making an impact in one's community is impossible. We want young people to be able to open up their minds to creating things that will be global. We believe that if you can think it, you can achieve it despite your age, race, colour, background, and geographical location. This is because we all belong to the same global community.
