WHY ARE WE HOLDING A CONFERENCE?
In November, five students in our club participated in an amazing TEDEd Conference in New York City. Energised, we are committed to re-creating the same kind of amazing experience we had for youth in Vancouver. IlluminaTED, will be a unique, student-led TEDEd Conference exploring the theme of 'Encounters'. The conference will feature our own student TED-style talks, based on our learning and passions.
The ideas shared at the conference are understood as ‘gifts’ to the participants which broaden their worldview and spark new ideas. Our conference team is carefully curating an inspiring experience that includes guest speakers, performances, activities, films, interaction with community organisations and panels, all focused on serving youth in our community and creating an inspiring experience!
We aim for youth to build inter-and intra-personal knowledge bridges between themselves, peers and professionals in a variety of fields and subject areas. We hope that these mutually beneficial connections and community building will encourage growth and inspire change on a personal, community and global level.
The aim of the Encounters TEDEd Club is to create a space for students, to learn from two internationally recognised curricula, explore ideas at the intersection of history, tech, art, science, faith and innovation and share our own experiences and passions while developing essential skills and competencies.
