The TEDxYouth@Berlin Cosmopolitan School 2024 event, held on June 13th, offered students a dynamic platform to share their thoughts on a range of thought-provoking topics. Held within the spirit of inquiry and intellectual curiosity, this year's event challenged students to engage deeply with issues that reflect their experiences, passions, and concerns.

Themes such as inquiry and change were central, as students explored the power of questioning and personal growth. Environmental topics, such as the importance of biomes and the critical role of soil, highlighted our responsibility to the planet. Social issues like bullying and microaggressions called attention to the impact of our interactions and the need for empathy and kindness in everyday life.

Other presentations focused on more abstract or philosophical themes. Talks on AI delved into the ever-evolving world of technology, while explorations of love sought to understand the complexities of human emotions. Creativity was celebrated with reflections on the joys and challenges of self-expression, offering a window into the personal journeys of the speakers.

Through these talks, the TEDxYouth@BCS 2024 event invited the entire school community to reflect on important global and personal issues, fostering a space of learning, compassion, and dialogue.
