When: Saturday, February 23, 2019

Where: Pierce – The American College of Greece

Full of groundbreaking ideas and eye-opening speeches, the TEDxKids edition is sure to broaden horizons, ignite thought, and spark conversations. With the sole aim of promulgating individualistic, captivating thoughts and stories, this platform brings with it an extraordinary theme: “Once upon a Time!”

What is Time? Is it something that we see? Is it measured in moments? Can we travel in Time? Can we predict the future?

To find all the answers join us on this special TEDx event at Pierce Theater! On this journey we will be able to see how Time works differently for each one of us, and we will make a conjectural journey into the future with the help of 15 child speakers from all over Greece, adult speakers from Greece and abroad, STEM challenges, parallel workshops for parents and teachers, exhibitions and artistic events, and an escape room!

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. This event is called [email protected], where x = independently organized TED event.

At the [email protected] event, TEDTalks video 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

Ages targeted:7 years of age and above

These actions were designed and implemented by civil society organisations upon selection and funding by EUNIC Athens.
