TED is a non-profit organisation that believes powerful ideas, powerfully presented, can inspire us to think differently and take action. TEDx is a programme of local, independently organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At TEDx events, live talks and videos of TED Talks spark discussion and connection. Thousands of TEDx events are held annually.

TEDxYouth events are designed by or for young people. TEDxYouth@YCYWShanghai is an annual event that began at YCIS Shanghai Puxi Gubei Campus in 2019.

TED是一家非营利组织，坚信有力度的思想与表达能够触动心灵、重塑认知、激发行动。TEDx 是由各地独立策划组织的项目，旨在打造TED式的交流体验，全球每年会举办数以千计的TEDx活动。在TEDx现场，TED演讲视频与讲者的现场分享交织共鸣，激发深度讨论与真诚连接。

其中TEDxYouth专为青年设计，或由青年主导。TEDxYouth@YCYWShanghai于2019年在上海耀中浦西古北校舍首次举办，如今已发展成为耀中耀华教育网络的年度品牌盛事。

Event History of TEDxYouth@YCYWShanghai 活动历程

Since its launch in 2019, our TEDx event has grown from a humble beginning, with about 100 attendees and five speakers, at one of our school campuses, to an annual gathering of over 2,000 visitors and more than 40 young speakers and 100 performers.

The event has steadily expanded to incorporate more opportunities for the community to share and to develop their curiosity and sense of wonder through interactive exhibits, workshops, science shows, academic research posters, robotics, music, dance, and much more.

YCYW has hosted the event at prestigious venues across Shanghai, including the West Bund Museum, Pudong Shangri-La Hotel, Shanghai Children’s Art Theatre, and Zhengli Campus, School of Management, Fudan University. TEDX has sought to immerse itself in our community and bring people together.

The event now draws young people from our schools across the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong SAR, from Year 2 to Year 13. It brings together experts from universities, industry, and research institutions. Families and the broader community have actively supported the event.

• Scale: One of the largest TEDxYouth events in Asia, with about 2,000 visitors each year.
• Outcomes: To date, more than 200 students have delivered TEDx talks.
• Growth: Transformed from a local school activity into a community-centred celebration connecting every YCYW school across the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong SAR at the end of the academic year.

自2019年启航以来，我们的TEDx活动从一所校区内仅有百名观众、五位演讲者的小型聚会，逐步成长为每年吸引超过2000名参与者、汇聚40余位青年演讲者与上百名表演者的年度思想盛宴。

随着规模持续扩大，活动形式也日益多元。我们通过互动展览、创意工坊、科学演示、学术海报展、机器人展示、音乐与舞蹈等丰富形式，构建开放包容的交流平台，持续点燃公众的好奇心与探索欲。

活动曾先后落地西岸美术馆、浦东香格里拉大酒店、上海儿童艺术剧场、复旦管院政立院区等沪上知名场馆，始终秉持扎根社区、连接人心的理念。

如今，这一平台已吸引来自中国大陆及香港多所学校的广泛参与，演讲者年龄横跨二年级至十三年级；更汇聚了高校、产业界与研究机构的专家学者，并获得家庭与社会各界的积极响应。

• 规模见证：跃居亚洲最具影响力的TEDxYouth活动之列，年均参与者约2000人。
• 成果丰硕：迄今已有逾200名学生在此发表TEDx演讲，传递青年声音。
• 成长新篇：完成从校园活动到连接全国耀中耀华学校体系、以社区为核心的年终盛事的华丽蜕变。
