Mae Thompson saw all of the challenges facing her generation of teens and wondered how she could still be alive. Wanting to give a voice to teens she talks about how creating youth - adult partnerships is the key and explains the three principles of how to create those partnerships and help teens practice spreading their wings.
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)
