The TED story
In November 2014 I have started dreaming of attending a TED or TEDx event. I was spending all my free time watching TED talks and discussing them with my friends. One day, one of my friends from Moscow uploaded a new Facebook cover picture and there were four favorite letters on the foreground: T E D x. I immediately messaged him and invited myself on the event he was organising: TEDxAAS. While sitting in the audience one thought occupied my mind: I have to do my own event. Prague has to experience what I did! I had to organise a venue where young people will share their ideas and older people will teach us about their wisdom. When I came back to Prague as a student at the International School of Prague at the time, I began spreading the word and by march 2015 we had a good team that has been working very hard on putting together a very successfull TEDxYouth@ISPrague.
