Africanews reporter Isaac Eshun visited the first TEDxYouthInspire event, held in Accra, Ghana on April 10, 2010. A crowd of young Ghanaians attended the event.
TEDxYouthInspire was set up as an open space for the continents youngest visionaries to collaborate and reevaluate the possibilities of creating a better global community.
The event used the theme "A Good Head & A Good Heart", taken from a quote by former South African President Nelson Mandela, to exhibit how extraordinary youth leaders combine radical thought and integrity of spirit to set in motion unlimited possibilities for a brighter future.
Remaining true to the spirit of the TED Conference – hosting the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, and challenging them to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes or less – TEDxYouthInspire comprised of a mix of live talks and performances as well as pre-recorded talks from recent TED conferences.
