TEDxYouth events are part of a global movement that believes young people are not just future leaders, but present thinkers. These platforms exist to give space to ideas that challenge convention, spark dialogue, and encourage responsibility. Ideas that do not simply inform, but transform.

 On December 21, 2025, Shishukunj very proudly hosted the TEDxShishukunj International School Youth  . The event was  a powerful exploration of the forces that shape human thought, identity, and responsibility in the modern world. It  featured a diverse lineup of speakers who addressed mental health, individuality, technology, ethics, and decision-making. 

Talks such as Mirror and the Maze examined the romanticisation of trauma among youth, while Social Algorithm Paradox highlighted the rise of loneliness in an increasingly connected world. Redefining Happiness challenged conventional ideas of success and contentment, and The Fragile Superpower reflected on humanity’s unique ability to imagine the future. The ethical implications of scientific progress were explored through CRISPR and Ethics: The Double-Edged Sword, while Culture Clones addressed identity and conformity in a trend-driven society. Together, the speakers created a cohesive dialogue that encouraged students to reflect deeply, think responsibly, and engage with the world as conscious global citizens.

The speakers were:

1. Professor Debasish Maitra IIM Indore
2. 8. Dr Sameer Golwelkar – Psychotherapist
3. 9. Dr Sivaprakash Ramalingam – IIT Kanpur
4. Aashita Kumar – IX B
5. Ami Asija – XI E
6. Ananya Julka – XI F
7. Apurva Acharya – XI C
8. Arham Sethi – XI D

The talks given by the students ignited the minds of each and everyone in the audience and geared their thoughts towards new perspectives, new thoughts and new beginnings.
