TEDxYouthDay is a series of TEDx events happening all around the world coinciding with Universal Children’s Day. These events are designed to empower and inspire young people.

TEDxWarwick is no exception: we will be hosting our very own TEDxYouth@Warwick event in M1 (Radcliffe Building, Warwick Business School Teaching Centre) from 3pm - 5pm. Entry is free. Our aim is to highlight some of the various accomplishments of students in the surrounding communities as well as provide a glimpse into some of the work that's being done internationally to involve youth.

Our line-up of speakers and videos will stimulate the mind and provoke discussion, and encompasses everything from the future of our youth to their struggles and achievements, with the common objectives of: inspiring curiosity, igniting new ideas, and empowering young leaders. Among the speakers is a truly inspirational Paralympian and student from the London Olympic Games. Our full speaker line up is can be found below.
