The TED story
My TED story began with a simple idea: to amplify young voices and empower them to share their stories and perspectives with the world. Through TEDxSMPI Al Abidin Surakarta Youth, I saw an incredible opportunity to give students a platform to express themselves, explore new ideas, and engage in conversations that matter. Watching students find the courage to share their dreams, concerns, and visions for the future has been inspiring and rewarding. The experience of organizing these events, from selecting themes to coaching speakers, has shown me the immense power of youth-led dialogue. Every talk reminds me of the potential within each young individual to make an impact and inspires me to keep creating spaces where their voices can be heard and celebrated.
