2017 #TEDxYouthCT to acknowledge importance of embracing SA's diversity

“Giving back to the local community is an integral part of this year’s experience,” says Sian Gibbs, curator of the 2017 TEDxYouth@CapeTown event. “Our very motto is ‘for the youth, by the youth.”

Parallel to the speaker workshops and event run-up, the TEDxYouth@CapeTown team is actively campaigning a ‘Pile of Books’ drive to benefit the Hanover Park Secondary School, with all ticket sales supporting this initiative. “We challenge the Cape Town community to donate reading and educational books to help us fill the shelves of the school library.”

• Lauren Brooks
• Miranda Bambata
• Pozisa Manisi
• Qaqamba Sibayi

The event will take place at Bergvliet High School on Friday, 13 October at 7pm. Tickets can be purchased via Quicket at R60 each. For more info on the 2017 #TEDxYouthCT event, click here.
