PUNE: Nine students from grades 9, 10, and 11 of Bharati Vidyapeeth Rabindranath Tagore School of Excellence (BVRTSE), took to the stage as the torchbearers of inspiration and innovation at the TED Ed event hosted by the school on Saturday. TED, as a global platform for sharing ground-breaking concepts, provided the perfect avenue to showcase the thought-provoking ideas cultivated by the students of BVRTSE, said a statement issued by the school.
Each of these young speakers addressed diverse and compelling topics, delving into the profound significance of music, the art of effective communication, time management, the indomitable power of resilience, the often-overlooked issue of teenage depression, strategies for overcoming nervousness, and ways to safeguard against the perils of financial scams. The TED Ed platform served as an ideal medium for these emerging change-makers to articulate their perspectives on pressing issues that resonate with the global community.
The event was graced by the presence of Swapnali Vishawajeeet Kadam, the school’s chairperson, who has been a guiding force in shaping the school’s educational philosophy, Dhaval Mehta, co-founder of TNI Career Counselling and Esther Indurkar, a veteran communication coach, corporate trainer, and a renowned TED-x speaker.
