TEDxYouth@Suchitra Academy

Ideas, personal experiences, inspirational life lessons, initiatives and many more. That was the journey of Virtual TedxYouth@ Suchitra Academy on Saturday, 26th June, 2021. A day to be remembered in the years to come. It was an ardent desire of the Principal, Ms. Deepa Kapoor, to provide a platform to the youth for a confluence of creative ideas and intellectual discussion and TedxYouth@Suchitra Academy was a realisation of that initiative. The theme ofthe event, PAUSE. Reset the way you THINK! Gave a perspective not only to the speakers but also to the audience. If we do it with our technology, why do we have such a hard time with pause and reset in life?

It was a day resplendent with brilliant anecdotes, inspiring videos, unique ideas, rich storytelling and fresh perspectives to ignite meaningful conversations.

This also uncovered new ideas and shared the latest research that will definitely spark conversations in our communities, inspire and ignite curiosity in the youth today.
