About The Event

The First TEDx at Wuhan Haidian Foreign Language Shiyan School

TEDxWHHW Youth brings together curious minds under a single imperative: go beyond what seems obvious. We are looking for talks that reframe what people think they already understand — ideas that challenge assumptions and reveal new dimensions of familiar truths.

We welcome speakers from anywhere in China and around the world — students, parents, industry leaders, and university researchers.

Talks may be in English or Chinese and must not exceed 18 minutes. All applications are reviewed personally, and shortlisted speakers will be contacted within two weeks.
