Our TEDx team proudly presented an evening of talks related to the theme

‘The Future We Shape’.

On Tuesday 9th December 2025, three final year IB Diploma students at St Clare’s, Oxford hosted this year’s annual TEDx event. Event organisers, students Hannah, Vera and Soyeon, put the spotlight on eleven selected student speakers, to spark deep discussions in their college community.

The ‘TEDx St Clares Youth’ team proudly presented an evening of talks to give attendees an opportunity to listen to their peers and learn more about the world, based on the theme of ‘The Future We Shape’. The topics ranged from the importance of learning a language to how overconsumption of news causes anxiety.

Hannah, Vera and Soyeon, said:

“The future is not something that simply happens. It is something we create through our choices, ideas, and actions. From technology and psychology to politics and economics, we will challenge everyone to reflect on our roles in shaping what’s to come. By sharing diverse perspectives and bold ideas, we aim to empower a new generation of global citizens to shape a better tomorrow.’“

TEDx is a programme of local, independently-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Created in the spirit of TED’s overall mission, events are led by passionate individuals seeking to research and discover “ideas worth spreading”.
