TEDx youth visit
In celebration of the Year of Young People 2018, 30 S4 pupils attended the TedXYouth Glasgow event at the SECC and Armadillo on Thursday, May 31.
Based on the successful TEDxTalks events and YouTube channel, the TEDxYouth event hosted a programme of live speakers and discussion labs to motivate and inspire with young people.
Hosted by David Farrell and Jennifer Reoch, our young people heard from nine speakers including Reece Hayes from the Princes Trust, Food Medic Dr Hazel Wallace and Mollie Hughes, the youngest woman in the world to successfully summit from both the north and south sides of Mount Everest.
The event was a fantastic opportunity for our young people to step out of their comfort zone, explore new ideas and discover their full potential.
They left inspired and motivated for the challenges ahead as they move into the senior phase.
