TEDxKids@Tokyo to launch in October 2011

How can we better involve our children in creating a new Japan, and a new world?

This is the question we’re hoping to answer through TedxKids@Tokyo. In association with progressive thinkers and doers in a number of fields, we’re creating an event though which 8-12 year old children and their primary educators – their parents – will experience TED’s “Ideas Worth Spreading”, “A trip to the future”, and “the festival of knowledge”

TEDxKids@Tokyo is a part of the TEDxTokyo program, created by TEDxTokyo co-founder Patrick Newell and TEDxTokyo yz co-curator, Ryuta Aoki. The launch event will be held on October 1, 2011. Leading up to and following this we’ll be supporting the creation of a number of other TEDxKids communities throughout Japan and beyond.
