“Saturday was the most surreal experience of my life … I have been wanting to attend a TEDx event for so long and as if by magic it has happened.
The event was amazing! I found all the speakers highly interesting and very inspirational. As for the venue, it was perfect—with its amazing architecture and beautiful roof terrace. All the staff were very welcoming and really are an asset to TEDxAveiro. I would happily come back to Aveiro just to attend the next event.” —Richard Brace

TEDxYouth@Aveiro Turned “Inside Out”
Before TEDxYouth@Aveiro, a TEDxYouthDay event, we decided to run an Inside Out Project, inspired by TED Prize winner JR’s wish.
One month ago, a wall on the Cathedral of Aveiro became covered with photos of members of the TEDxYouth@Aveiro planning team. More than 30 pupils that took part in the organization of this year’s TEDxYouth@Aveiro were challenged to convey a message with a different facial expression. They took photos of each other and pasted the posters up on the wall of the Cathedral of Aveiro. They turned a gray November day in Aveiro into a cheerful one with smiles:
