TEDxYouthDay (http://tedxyouthday.ted.com/) — a collection of nearly
100 different TEDx events for young people around the world — kicks
off tomorrow, November 19, and runs through Monday, November 21.

Live events (http://tedxyouthday.ted.com/webcast-schedule/) will
happen in 42 countries, with 47 different livestreams to watch in many
languages.

Here’s what you need to know:

1. The TEDxYouthDay website will be hosting 47 livestreaming events
starting from 8:30 AM GMT from Jordan, Germany, Tunisia, the United
States and more.

2. Over 70 communities around the world will be watching TEDxYouthDay
streams at a local viewing party (http://www.meetup.com/
TEDxYouthDay/).

3. Young people around the world will answer the question “What can
you share with the world?”, in short video, or through Twitter using
the #TEDxYouthShare hashtag (http://twitter.com/#!/search/
TEDxYouthShare).

4. As part of this weekend, TED is hosting our own event for youth –
TEDYouth at the TimesCenter in NYC (http://tedxyouthday.ted.com/
tedyouth/) with the theme “Play, Learn, Build & Share.” On Saturday,
more than 400 young people will convene for talks from Adam Savage,
David Gallo, Lemon Anderson, Steve Stoute and more. Spaces are sold
out, but you can watch the event live, with a Spanish-language stream
available.

5. Over 70 young people around the world have been designated as
TEDxYouthDay Reporters (http://tedxyouthday.ted.com/official-
tedxyouthday-reporters/). They will report on their experiences via
Twitter, Facebook and, later, on the TEDx blog (http://tedx.tumblr.com/
tagged/youth).

6. Each event will show a special TEDxYouthDay video (http://
tedxyouthday.ted.com/intro-video/), created with crowd-sourced
submissions of young people around the world. Through the Open
Translation Project (http://www.ted.com/OpenTranslationProject),
subtitles for this video have been translated into five languages and
counting.
