TEDxAda George Road Youth is an independently organized TEDx event created to spotlight the ideas, stories, and people shaping Port Harcourt from within.
This is not just an event. It is a moment of visibility for a city often misunderstood. A stage where young voices meet global standards. A reminder that greatness does not only come from polished places.
It also comes from the streets.
TEDxAda George Road Youth is a youth driven platform designed to amplify ideas worth spreading from Port Harcourt to the world.
Ada George Road represents our location, not our limitation. This is a city wide conversation.
Our goal is to curate powerful talks, performances, and conversations that reflect innovation, resilience, creativity, and responsibility among young people in Port Harcourt.
We believe the streets are full of thinkers, builders, creatives, problem solvers, and leaders whose ideas deserve a global audience.
This theme challenges a common narrative.
It says that what looks ordinary is often overlooked. That what feels rough is often rich with insight. That young people are not waiting to be saved, they are already building.
The streets of Port Harcourt are full of stories. Full of lessons. Full of ideas that can shape industries, culture, and the future.
This event exists to tell those stories the right way.
Every talk is curated to spark thought, not applause.
