WHAT IS TEDx
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
ABOUT US
Our event is called TEDxPPSIJC Youth, where "x" symbolizes independently organized TED event. At our TEDxPPSIJC Youth event, TED Talks, videos, and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
Theme 26'
Viva La Vida - Life Undiluted
Inspired by the Coldplay song, which directly translates to "Long Live Life", our theme is about living authentically, embracing the present, and making choices aligned with inner values rather than external pressures.
At its core, it calls for a meaningful life defined by honesty, compassion, and the courage to live life the way it is supposed to be lived!
TESTIMONIALS
Partner with us
TEDxPPSIJC Youth is made possible through the support of partners who believe in the power of youth-driven thoughts and expression.
​
Our partnerships are built on shared values of innovation, learning, and meaningful impact. We work with organisations that want to engage with young audiences in ways that go beyond visibility, and instead focus on real interaction, learning experiences, and idea exchange. Through collaborations, partners help us bring workshops, immersive experiences, and curated engagements that connect students with real-world thinking and opportunities. These partnerships allow us to transform a school event into a space where ideas feel alive and relevant.
​
Partnering with TEDxPPSIJC Youth is to invest in a generation that is learning to think independently, question deeply, and create boldly.
speaking on our stage
At TEDxPPSIJC Youth, our stage is dedicated to ideas that truly matter and voices that make people pause and reflect. We bring together individuals who think differently, and aren’t afraid to question, create, and challenge the world around them. Whether it’s a groundbreaking idea, a compelling story, or a unique perspective, every talk is selected to leave a lasting impression on the audience.
​
Our team thoughtfully curates speakers who are deeply passionate about their work and can express their ideas with clarity and purpose. We value originality, insight, and the ability to connect with an audience over titles or credentials. If you have an idea worth sharing or know someone who does, submit a nomination through our speaker form and take the first step toward being part of the TEDxPPSIJC Youth experience.

OUR history
TEDxPPSIJC Youth is a student-led TEDx initiative at Prabhavati Padamshi Soni International Junior College, Mumbai, created in the spirit of ideas worth spreading.
​
Rooted in the belief that curiosity grows in stages, our platform reflects the philosophy of Shu - Ha - RI, where learning begins with guidance, evolves through exploration, and ultimately leads to independent thinking and innovation. This Journey is not just a theme but a way to experience ideas.
​
Over the years, TEDxPPSIJC Youth has grown into a space where students, educators, and changemakers come together to share perspectives that challenge routine thinking and encourage deeper reflection. Every edition is built around a central idea that connects real-world questions with personal experiences, shaping conversations that go beyond the classroom.
​
At its core, TEDxPPSIJC Youth exists to remind us that ideas do not need permission to begin. They only need a platform.
