Schedule of the Day

Morning Session

The morning programme featured a curated line-up of TEDx talks delivered by speakers from diverse backgrounds. Ticket holders gathered in the main auditorium to hear personal stories, bold ideas, and fresh perspectives — all under the theme of shaping our future.

Afternoon: World Café Discussions

After the talks, the afternoon shifted into an interactive World Café format. Attendees moved between small-group discussion tables, exploring the themes raised during the morning and sharing their own ideas in a collaborative, relaxed setting.

This format encouraged everyone — young people and adults alike — to contribute, reflect, and connect beyond the stage.

Livestream

For those unable to attend in person, a livestream of the morning talks was made available. This allowed the wider community to follow along and take part in the conversation remotely.

The TEDxYouthBath experience is built around the power of ideas worth spreading, bringing together a diverse community of thinkers, creators, and changemakers. From students and educators to entrepreneurs and artists, the event creates a space where fresh perspectives can take centre stage. Each talk is carefully curated to spark curiosity and encourage meaningful conversation, reflecting the spirit of the global TEDx movement while staying rooted in local talent and stories. The atmosphere is electric with possibility, as attendees from across Bath and beyond gather to share in a collective journey of discovery and inspiration.

What makes TEDxYouthBath truly special is its focus on young voices and the issues that shape their generation. The programme features speakers who are tackling everything from social justice and environmental action to creative arts and technological innovation. These are not just talks — they are calls to action, invitations to think differently, and windows into worlds that challenge the status quo. Whether it is a student sharing a breakthrough idea or a seasoned professional offering hard-won wisdom, every speaker brings something unique to the stage, leaving audiences both moved and motivated.

Beyond the main stage, the event fosters a sense of connection that extends throughout the entire day. Attendees have opportunities to meet speakers, engage in informal discussions, and build relationships with fellow participants who share a passion for progress. This community-driven atmosphere is central to the TEDx philosophy, where the conversations sparked between sessions often prove just as valuable as the talks themselves. It is a reminder that real change begins when people come together, listen deeply, and collaborate across disciplines and backgrounds.

The design of the event itself mirrors the forward-thinking ideas it showcases. With a sleek, modern aesthetic featuring deep navy tones, subtle cosmic imagery, and clean sans-serif typography, every visual element is intentional. The spacious layout, soft rounded corners, and gentle contrast between card panels and background create a calm, focused environment that lets content shine. This thoughtful attention to detail ensures that from the moment attendees walk through the doors, they are immersed in an experience that feels both polished and welcoming, reflective of the high-quality ideas being presented.

TEDxYouthBath is more than a single day of talks — it is part of an ongoing movement to amplify youth-led ideas and build a brighter future. The ripple effects of the event continue long after the final applause, as attendees carry new insights back into their schools, workplaces, and communities. Past events have inspired collaborations, launched projects, and ignited passions that lead to lasting impact. By supporting a culture of curiosity, courage, and creativity, TEDxYouthBath helps ensure that the next generation has the tools, confidence, and platform to shape the world they want to live in.
