What is TEDx?
In TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of discovering and spreading ideas, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
About TED
TED is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to discovering, debating and spreading ideas that spark conversation, deepen understanding and drive meaningful change. Our organization is devoted to curiosity, reason, wonder and the pursuit of knowledge — without an agenda. We welcome people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world and connection with others, and we invite everyone to engage with ideas and activate them in your community.
TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, but today it spans a multitude of worldwide communities and initiatives exploring everything from science and business to education, arts and global issues. In addition to the TED Talks curated from our annual conferences and published on TED.com, we produce original podcasts, short video series, animated educational lessons (TED-Ed) and TV programs that are translated into more than 100 languages and distributed via partnerships around the world. Each year, thousands of independently run TEDx events. Through the Audacious Project, TED has helped catalyze $6.6 billion in funding for projects that support bold solutions to the world's most urgent challenges — working to make the world more beautiful, sustainable and just. In 2020, TED launched Countdown, an initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis and mobilize a movement for a net-zero future, and in 2023 TED launched TED Democracy to spark a new kind of conversation focused on realistic pathways towards a more vibrant and equitable future.

Our Theme: Becoming
Becoming is not about arriving at a destination; it is about embracing the continuous journey of growth, discovery, and transformation. It reflects the idea that every individual is constantly evolving—shaped by experiences, ideas, challenges, relationships, and the choices they make.
In a world defined by rapid change, Becoming invites us to pause and reflect on who we are, who we aspire to be, and the impact we seek to create. It encourages us to view learning as a lifelong pursuit, resilience as a catalyst for growth, and curiosity as the foundation of innovation. Every setback becomes an opportunity to learn, every conversation a chance to broaden perspective, and every action a step toward meaningful change.
At TEDx Chinmaya Vidyalaya Attukal Youth, Becoming celebrates the courage to question, the humility to learn, and the determination to grow. It recognises that transformation is both personal and collective. As individuals evolve, so do the communities they influence and the world they help shape.
Rooted in enduring values while embracing new ideas, this theme reflects the spirit of young minds who are prepared to think independently, lead responsibly, and contribute with purpose. It is a celebration of potential—not as something waiting to be discovered, but as something realised through continuous learning, thoughtful action, and meaningful collaboration.
Through the stories shared, the conversations sparked, and the ideas exchanged on this stage, we invite every participant to reflect on their own journey of becoming. For it is through this ongoing process of growth that we unlock our greatest potential, inspire others, and create a future shaped by knowledge, compassion, creativity, and courage.
Because becoming is not a moment. It is a mindset.
It is not about perfection. It is about progress.
It is not about who we are today, but who we choose to become tomorrow.
