TEDxYouth licenses may be held by youth, adults, or a combination of both. For events held at schools, the license must be held by a current student, faculty, or staff member. The first TEDxYouth event was held by TEDxYouth@Tokyo in Japan. Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
