TEDxYouth@VictoriaPark will feature a number of guest speakers 25 and under. These speakers have dared to be risk-takers in their lives, pushing the boundaries far beyond what they thought was possible.

This year’s guest speakers have taken control of their lives by using alternative concepts and ideas, helping them delete what they previously thought was impossible. CTRL. ALT. DEL…get it? Good. And most importantly, these inspiring guest speakers have always explored their curiosity!

So, let’s get to introducing these passionate and bright-minded speakers:

TEDxYouth@VictoriaPark is excited to host their second ever event. Especially since it’s dedicated to providing a platform for inspiring individuals to share their ideas.

TEDxYouth@VictoriaPark’s mission is simple…they want to inspire all us young folks to expand our bright ideas WITHOUT fear or doubt. They want to create environments that feel empowering and can support big aspirations for individuals across all social, economic and ethnic backgrounds. All in all, it sounds pretty freakin’ great to us.
