01 May Exploring the Power of Purpose

In a world increasingly fraught with conflicting and confronting challenges, who we are and what we do is increasingly important.

Young people today recognise “The Power of Purpose” and how discovering and utilising one’s own purpose is the key to making substantial change in our world. TEDXYouth@ScotchCollegeAdelaide aims to explore the wide range of purpose that exists today, which can be found in the most unlikely of  places, in the hope of enlightening and inspiring the youth of Adelaide.

TEDxYouth@ScotchCollegeAdelaide will feature six fantastic speakers from careers and life paths as diverse as operating Mission Control at the International Space Station in Eurpoe to that of an African-Australian recording artist. Our unique group of speakers have been chosen not only because of the amazing ways they have utilised purpose within their own lives and careers, but also because they are concerned with inspiring purpose in our young people for the future.

In addition to our speakers, TEDxYouth@ScotchCollegeAdelaide will provide engaging and interactive activities which aim to stimulate minds and form connections between strangers. In these activities, the microphone will be figuratively passed back to our audience members as they will be invited to examine and vocalise the purpose, and opportunity to develop new purpose, within their own lives.

TEDxYouth@ScotchCollegeAdelaide promises to be an eye-opening experience and we can hardly wait!
