Theme: Nurturing Minds and Sustaining Hearts

At the inaugural TEDx Dubai Scholars School Youth we celebrate an unique theme: Nurturing Minds and Sustaining Hearts. We are dedicated to inspiring a generation that values both intellectual growth and emotional resilience. This event explores how nurturing our minds with knowledge and insight allows us to create lasting, positive impacts, while sustaining our hearts with empathy and compassion empowers us to connect deeply with others and with the world around us.

Through dynamic talks and interactive sessions, speakers from diverse backgrounds will share ideas that bridge personal growth with social responsibility. From mental health and self-discovery to innovation and community-building, TEDx Dubai Scholars School Youth offers a space for young people to cultivate a balanced approach to life—one that enriches the intellect and strengthens the spirit.
