TEDxRoyalCentralSchool Returns on Saturday, 13 February with restART
Join Central’s students on Saturday, 13 February as they return with the fourth TEDxRoyalCentralSchool event, restART, this year streaming online to audiences in their own homes, wherever they are in the world.
Speakers and performers have been drawn from across the staff and student body as well as from the wider community. Their presentations are structured around the theme of the event, restART: during a difficult and challenging time, when we have all been unmotivated, confined in our homes and resting, we are all desperate for ideas worth spreading. We need to restart, and what better way to do that than to use the arts?
The free, live event will stream for 2 hours and 45 minutes and will kick off on Saturday 13 February at 10.30am GMT (London, UK time). Please visit the TEDxRoyalCentralSchool website for information on how to live stream the event on the day, or follow the team on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook or YouTube for updates.
