TEDxYouth@MarijinDvor is the biggest TEDxYouth event in the Western Balkans. This time, the event was organised by Young European Ambassadors (YEAs), Hadzera Selimovic and Ena Porca and it attracted nine speakers from Western Balkans and European Union. The official name of this year’s edition is “Reinventing the Future”.

Fifteen Young European Ambassadors participated in this year’s event; six others contributed to the organisational part. YEA from Montenegro, Ivana Sreckovic, was one of the event’s speakers. She talked about gender equality in business during her speech “Wo(Men) in Business: Is it a Man’s world?”. Other than Ivana, two additional speeches were conducted by YEA from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Anastasija Djordja Bosancic, and YEA from Kosovo, Fatbardh Kabashi.

Topics of other speakers were related to the environment, music, mental health awareness, research and similar topics.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organised events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organised TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised (subject to specific rules and regulations).
