Theme: Summit of Change: Adventures, Activism, and Authenticity

Celebrate the spirit of adventure, resilience, and authenticity—from the heights of the world's tallest peaks to the frontlines of climate action and the beauty of being uniquely yourself.
Join us for a dynamic TEDx school event that brings together three trailblazers, each redefining what it means to challenge the status quo. In a day filled with compelling stories and transformative ideas, Shehroz Kashif, one of the world’s youngest climbers, recounts his extraordinary journey of summiting all 14 peaks over 8,000 meters. His story isn’t just about reaching the top—it’s about embracing failure, conquering fears, and the relentless pursuit of self-discovery.

Next, Maha Qasim, a passionate climate advocate and environmental engineer, takes us on a sobering yet hopeful journey through the realities of climate change. Drawing from decades of experience and global initiatives, Maha emphasizes the urgent need for collective action and empowers youth to lead the charge towards a sustainable future.

Finally, Ayesha Chundrigar challenges us to own our uniqueness and celebrate what makes us different. Her engaging talk on embracing one’s “weirdness” reminds us that our individual quirks can be our greatest strengths, inspiring a culture of authenticity and courage.

Together, these voices encourage us to step out of our comfort zones, push boundaries, and drive positive change in our lives and communities. Whether you’re an adventurer, an activist, or someone on a journey of self-acceptance, this event is designed to spark your passion and empower you to create a lasting impact.
