Theme: Revolutionizing the spotlight

Spotlights have always been of bringing attention to meaningful topics and in our constantly changing world, there seems to be a growing field of them. Using the spotlight to shift the focus unto new and meaningful topics and perspectives is the way to incite change and create a positive impact in our lives. Especially when it is an opportunity to give a voice and space to topics not talked about commonly. In this TEDxYouth event, high-school students will delve into these topics while searching to not only bring them to light, but also establish a new norm.
