PAPARANGI TED-X

My name is Aahna Suri, and I am a member of the TEDxYouthPaparangi Communications Committee this year. We are excited to announce that our event will be held on Friday, September 5th at Newlands College! 

TEDxYouthPaparangi is an independently organised event licensed by TED themselves, aiming to amplify the voices of young people in our community. We seek passionate and driven individuals from local schools who are interested in speaking at our event. 

This year's theme is “The Power of Now”, which is about harnessing the energy of today to shape a better tomorrow. We believe that your school has some very passionate individuals who have unique stories and ideas worth expressing. 

We would be grateful if you could extend this opportunity to your students and encourage those who are interested in being a part of our event. Interested students can email our communications committee or visit our Instagram page for more information.

Thank you for your time and consideration, we hope to hear from you soon!
