TEDx

TEDxJohnLyonSchool

John Lyon School is proud to have hosted three TEDx events. The talks provide a platform for our pupils, staff and external subject experts exploring diverse and complex topics at our Harrow-on-the-Hill campus. All organisation, filming, sound and editing has been done in-house by John Lyon pupils and staff.

As its name suggests, TEDx is an offshoot of the world-famous TED Talks, created to be a programme of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience in the spirit of ideas worth spreading. These events are part of our John Lyon Excellence Programme, which provides an opportunity for all pupils to maximise their learning potential and to discover their passion, regardless of age or academic ability. All TEDxJohnLyonSchool three series are available to watch on this webpage, via the TEDx YouTube channel.

Series 1 - 2019

Series 2 - 2021

Series 3- 2023

TED is an annual event that brings together the world’s leading thinkers and doers to share ideas that matter in any discipline — technology, entertainment, design, science, humanities, business, development. The talks at the conference, called TED Talks, are then made available to watch for free on TED.com.

In the spirit of “ideas worth spreading,” TED has created TEDx, a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.

At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connections. Our TEDx event is not organised by TED Conferences, but is operated under a license from TED.
