TEDx YOUTH VISIT

In celebration of Year of Young People 2018, 30 S4 pupils attended the TedXYouth Glasgow event at the SEC and Armadillo.  Based on the successful TedxTalks events and YouTube channel, the TedxYouth event hosted a programme of live speakers and discussion labs to spark motivation and inspiration with young people.  Hosted by David Farrell and Jennifer Reoch, our young people heard from 9 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.
