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).

Rawane Loutfi

Student

In her talk, Rawane shares how a single missed message exposed the life-or-death stakes of mental health neglect. Born in a small village in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, She grew up seeing the cost of silence around mental health. That silence became personal when, still in Morocco, a friend’s crisis text—cut off by a dead phone—made the urgency impossible to ignore. But it also sparked a mission. Now at UWC Adriatic, she founded ZoomBrains to turn urgency into action, creating a space where neurodivergent and struggling individuals can find real support.

Teodora Tautkutė

Student

Teodora Tautkutė's personality consists of many different parts. She is a daughter, a sister, a senior student in high school, a writer, an artist, and a traveller. There are definitely more, but these are the key ones. The "traveller" part is the most important for this special introduction. That is the part that has allowed her to get to know herself in the best possible way while getting to know different cultures from various angles. At the young age of 19, she has quite a lot of experience to share regarding travelling the world (how to start, where to go, where to stay, and so on). This talk may not answer all your logistic questions about getting out of your comfort zone, but it may be quite a big help to get your motives up to do so which is the first step to take.
