Some talks make people laugh. Some make them cry. The best ones change them. This workshop is about learning how to do all that - and more.
In 90 minutes, you’ll step into the same process that has shaped some of TED’s most unforgettable moments. You'll learn how to create the kind of talks that stay with people long after the stage is empty. With Jonathan Rives, one of TED’s most trusted coaches and a pillar of its community, you’ll master the art of not just performing - but connecting with the audience you're speaking to.
What You'll Take Away:
• Craft opening lines that hook and mesmerize instantly
• Make your listeners feel everything you've felt
• Build storytelling flow that makes ideas unforgettable
• Practice in real-time with feedback that turns nerves into power
• Gain insider tools behind TED talks that have inspired, healed, and changed lives
It's time to speak in a way that makes people lean in, hold their breath, and truly listen.
What if you could turn your voice into a full-blown instrument - in just 90 minutes?
About the Workshop
In this high-energy workshop, you’ll learn from the woman who transformed breath, syllables, and imagination into a world championship title. This isn’t just a workshop. It’s part concert, part jam session, and a full-on confidence revolution. We promise you : this will be loud, playful, and impossible to forget.
What You'll Take Away :
• Learn to beatbox anywhere, anytime - no gear required
• Collaborate with 25 people to write, record, and take home your own track
• Unlock fearless self-expression through rhythm and sound
• Explore the rich roots of Hip-Hop and its storytelling power. It’s time to create music out of thin air.
It’s time to see how limitless your voice can be.

What if you could step beyond the stage lights – and discover who these changemakers really are?
About the Workshop
They’ve been called prodigies, pioneers, activists, innovators. But before all of that, they are humans – with doubts, fears, victories, and failures.
In this exclusive workshop, you’ll sit with the TEDxGateway Youth speakers face-to-face, in a private setting designed for real conversations. You’ll hear how courage was built stroke by stroke from an 11-year-old ocean swimmer. How a personal struggle became the fire for a teenager fighting for insulin. How music, robots, and AI became more than projects – they became lifelines.
No press. No scripts. Just them, and you.
What You’ll Take Away:
• Stories that never make it to the stage – the messy, real, behind-the-scenes journeys.
• Practical lessons on how to start your own journey as a young changemaker.
• An unmissable chance to understand why and how they do what they do.
• A once-in-a-lifetime memory of meeting tomorrow’s leaders before the world does.
IThis is the most unfiltered access you’ll ever get. Don’t miss it.
We're looking for ideas that change attitudes, minds, lives, your region, even the world. That means we want to learn about ideas and projects that are new, unique, and can offer an insight or a new way of thinking to a very large audience. Get creative. Show us what sets you apart!
We want something that’s authentically you: Fresh, creative, different. It could be:
Think big! Give us something we haven’t heard before (check TED.com to verify) and avoid straightforward self-promotion. We’re looking for intriguing, funny, insightful, imaginative, beautiful, jaw-dropping, inspiring, persuasive, filled to the brim with possibility.

Some talk pitches come over as annoyingly earnest or not particularly credible.
Here are some examples that we would likely NOT consider:
A handful of seats. A room full of bold ideators. Apply to attend TEDxGateway Youth 2025 in Mumbai alongside a growing circle of young thinkers, doers, and dreamers from around the world. Sometimes, just being in the room changes everything.
