Benedetta Ettorre

Student

Hi, my name is Benedetta Ettorre and I am Italian, but currently living in Monaco. I am a year 13 student taking the IB Diploma Program, whose passion is ice skating: which I used to do competitively for the FISG: Federazione Italiana Sport del Ghiaccio (Italian national ice sports federation and team). Together with Alicia Sedgwick, I am the TEDxYouth@ISMonaco event co-curator; additionally I was also responsible for the marketing and communications part of it. When I heard that there was the opportunity to be part of such an incredible event, I couldn’t resist but join. Since I was young I have always loved watching TED Talks as they have never failed to inspire me to positively grow as a person. What always fascinated me the most was the passion, creativity, and originality repeatedly put into all Talks. To continue with this tradition therefore, my goal with the TEDxYouth@ISMonaco event was to bring something even newer and more innovative to the table, never seen before - which will inspire and motivate people in our community to be the best versions of themselves. Myself, together with the amazing TEDxYouth@ISMonaco organisation committee, are extremely proud and satisfied of how the Event turned out, as it turned to be better than anything we could have possibly expected in the beginning of the process.
