For the last five years TEDxAmanaAcademy students have been inspired by TED.com to share their "Ideas Worth Spreading." This year 1st-8th grade students were encouraged to think about Everyday Heroes in their life and how they can show Empathy In Action. TEDxAmanaAcademy is an independently organized TEDxYouth event.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
