TEDxYouth@WBS

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, I’m excited to welcome you to TEDxYouth@WBS, the sixth edition of our TEDx event here at Welham Boys’ School. My name is Divij Gupta, and as a Grade 12 student and the curator of this evening, it’s been an incredibly meaningful journey putting this event together. On May 7, 2025, from 6:00 to 7:45 pm, our Activity Centre will turn into a space filled with stories, questions, and conversations that matter. TEDx has always been about exploring ideas that challenge the ordinary, and this year, we’ve invited people whose work and lives do exactly that. You’ll meet speakers who’ve restored forgotten ponds, made space science accessible, brought learning to the visually impaired, and used theatre and journalism to connect with people in powerful ways. These aren’t just inspiring stories—they’re reminders that change often starts with a question, a small step, or even just the courage to care. What I’ve hoped to do with this year’s TEDxYouth@WBS is create something that feels real and rooted. Not overly polished. Not just motivational. But honest. We all need that kind of honesty—whether we’re wondering what comes after school, trying to figure out where we stand in the world, or just looking for something that feels true. So as you listen today, I encourage you to find the moments that stay with you. The ones that make you pause, think, or even disagree. Because that’s where ideas start growing. Thank you for being here. And welcome to the sixth edition of TEDxYouth@WBS. Best Wishes and Warm Regards Lead Organizer Divij Gupta
