Theme: “Young people, making a difference, right now.”

Concord Carlisle High School is proud to host a TEDxYouth Event, drawing on young people from across the region to share “ideas worth spreading” about ways in which youth can have an impact and make positive change – not “someday,” not “once they grow up,” but right now. We seek to highlight the actions, activism, inventions and experiences of young people who aren’t waiting until some future point to try and improve their schools, their communities, their nation and their world.

About TEDx:

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx.

TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

At our TEDxYouthConcordCarlisle event, TEDTalks video and live speakers (ages of 13-19) will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.
