LocationLahore, Punjab, Pakistan
FormatYouth
Though we probed through Mars, we are still unable to probe through our own problems. Though we dug to the atoms physically, we fail to dig into the roots of the moral world. Though we work on defining space, we fail to define the spaces around us. And a single clairvoyant view on what stands around us, is all that is needed to bring to your mind exactly what our theme states. Enough!! - TEDxYouth@BeaconhouseLahore Our TEDxYouth aspires to be more than just space for ideas worth spreading. Our attendees are composed of educators and students who will be bringing the power of TED to their respective communities post-event.
