TEDx Youth@IIL @ Institut International de Lancy
Mar 21 @ 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm
TEDx Youth@IIL @ Institut International de Lancy

TedxYouth@IIL is a series of talks organised by a group of Year 12 students at Institut International de Lancy (IIL).

The talks will focus around the theme, “Questioning the Unknown”, which aims to inspire people to ask more questions in their everyday lives. This theme provokes discussion around unasked questions – those which are not usually researched – and unanswered questions – those to which a clear answer has not yet been found.

Speakers will be a combination of IIL students (ages 10 and over), IIL staff and external speakers.
