From groundbreaking technological advancements and paradigm-shifting social movements to deeply personal journeys of growth, every action we take adds to the pattern of progress. Some changes are bold and disruptive, while others are quiet and gradual, yet all are essential in shaping the future. At TEDx, we bring together thought leaders, storytellers, and visionaries who are pulling at these threads—unraveling new perspectives, questioning norms, and weaving bold new possibilities. Through their voices, we will explore how seemingly small shifts can create powerful ripples, how innovation emerges at the intersection of ideas, and how we, as individuals and communities, can become active weavers of change. Join us as we embark on this journey—one thread, one idea, one conversation at a time. Because when woven with purpose, change isn’t just inevitable—it’s unstoppable.
Change is rarely a single, isolated event. It is an intricate process—an interwoven story of ideas, actions, and people shaping the world around us. Like threads in a vast tapestry, each innovation, disruption, and movement connects to something greater, influencing the way we think, live, and evolve. This year’s TEDx theme, "Threads of Change," invites us to explore the powerful interconnections that drive transformation. Some threads challenge long-held beliefs. Others mend the gaps in our social, technological, and environmental landscapes. And some threads—often the most unexpected ones—become the foundation for something revolutionary.

For a month, 22 curious minds at Fountainhead School embarked on a remarkable journey: the TEDEd Student Club! This vibrant group not only explored ideas worth sharing, but also connected with international peers in Turkey, igniting a spark of global dialogue.
Their adventure began with identifying their passions, diving into research, and shaping their thoughts into compelling TED-style talks. Guided by the spirit of curiosity, they honed their research skills, developed captivating narratives, and practiced the art of public speaking. ️
The culmination of their efforts was truly inspiring. Not only did they submit their ideas to the prestigious Great Ideas Quest, but the nine most outstanding young mavericks were chosen to take center stage at the TEDx event!
This is more than just a club; it's a launchpad for future leaders and communicators. The Fountainhead School TEDEd Club fostered critical thinking, nurtured confidence, and empowered students to share their unique perspectives with the world. They learned to translate their passion into action, proving that ideas have the power to connect, inspire, and spark change.
Our students nearing the end of their TED journey transformed into mentors! They shared valuable feedback on topic choices and offered insights into their own experiences, guiding a new generation of TEDx mavericks from Turkey.
Our students were amazed by the innovative ideas presented by their Turkish peers, from "Why do heroes always defeat the villain?" to "Will AI conquer the world?". These young minds are definitely ones to watch!
The exchange went beyond ideas! The session ended with a whirlwind of cultural exchange, fostering connections and celebrating diversity in just 5 minutes.
This international collaboration wasn't just a session, it was a spark of global understanding and inspiration! Are you ready to join the TED-Ed adventure?
