About the TEDxYouth Day 2011

TEDxYouthDay is a series of TEDx events that happened all around the world on November 20, 2011 – Universal Children’s Day. These events were designed to empower and inspire young people. TEDx organizers across the globe hosted events for and by young people. These events varied widely in size, format and theme, but they shared a common vision: inspiring curiosity, igniting new ideas, empowering young leaders.
