About
TEDxYouth · Veliko Tarnovo
A stage for young people with ideas big enough to move a city — and an old capital that's heard a few.
<18
One day, one stage, a handful of ideas told in under 18 minutes.
USYC
Organised by young volunteers — members of USYC.bg.
Theme 2027
Rooted in heritage,
Arbanassi's stone churches and centuries-old houses remind us where we come from. Tradition isn't a weight — it's soil.
Shaping tomorrow.
From those roots grow new ideas — science, art, technology, community — told by the generation that will build what's next.

About TEDx
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading, usually in the form of short talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.
