TEDxYouth@CSJL

Amidst the ever-changing world, our ideas stand strong as pillars of our character and motivation. Many have chosen to dedicate their lives to a particular craft, but many have yet to be discovered. We want to highlight the trials and triumphs of individuals around the Philippines who are champions of their advocacies and are the manifestation of their ideas worth spreading. Hosted by the oldest college in the Philippines, TEDxYouth@CSJL wants to inspire the next generation of mavericks, champions, and innovators to reimagine the world we live in and how a change in perspective can create a ripple of positive influence.
