Theme: Revolutionary

What is the difference between being revolutionary and being rebellious?

Rebellion means the rejection of the status quo. However, to be revolutionary, not only must someone reject, they must be role models in how to supplant and supersede the conventual. Who are better positioned but the youth to recognise, react, and replace the ordinary and the habitual, and change the world!

TEDxYouth@Canberra 2022: Revolutionary showcases youth who have taken action against the status quo with great 'ideas worth spreading'.
