Surrey students interested in speaking at next year’s TEDxSurrey event are invited to attend an upcoming information session on June 8.
According to information posted to surreyschools.ca, the virtual session, hosted by leaders from the TEDxSurrey team, will offer prospective speakers a taste of the TEDx speaker experience, breakdown the four essential elements of a successful TEDx talk and walk through the application process.
The district currently has a partnership with TEDxSurrey that allows for at least one student to speak at the event, the site notes.
“TEDxSurrey is widely recognized as the premier TEDx event in Western Canada,” Gloria Sarmento, director of instruction with Surrey Schools, said in the post.
“This showcase is a wonderful forum for students with a message to amplify their voice and we’re proud to be a partner for this event.”
This year’s TEDxSurrey took place in January at the Bell Performing Arts Centre, and featured two Surrey students: Muhaddisa Sarwari and Finn Liu, both from Fraser Heights Secondary.

Sarwari said at the time that it was “an eye-opening experience to see what young people of today have to say about their communities, their experiences and their personal lives,” the post states.
