THE POWER OF NOW
TEDxYouth@Paparangi is a locally organised, independently run youth event, licensed by TED.
Our Theme
The Power of Now.
Our theme, “The Power of Now” is not just an expression, it’s a call to action. A reminder that the present moment is the key to change, innovation, and progress. Too often, we wait for the “right time,” or dwell on the past, but why not now? “The Power of Now” challenges us to embrace the unknown, take bold steps, and seize every opportunity possible. Whether it’s through personal growth, societal change, or innovative thinking, “The Power of Now” is about harnessing the energy of today to shape a better tomorrow.

Come along to see what it means to our wonderful speakers and be ready to leave inspired!

Our Lead-Organisers...
Apiksha Sharma
I’m Apiksha, one of the Co-Organisers for TEDxYouth@Paparangi this year. I love telling and hearing stories, helping people, and paving the way for change. TED Talks hold so much magic and power, and I’m very humbled to be one of the people who help deliver this to our community. When I’m not hyper-organised, you’ll probably find me baking, watching a TV show for the 16th time, or stressing about my future. For me, TEDxYouth@Paparangi isn’t just an event, it’s about creating something meaningful for the changemakers of today.
Sia Goel
I’m Sia, one of the Co-Lead Organisers for TEDxYouth@Paparangi this year. I believe young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow, but the changemakers of today. TEDx offers a unique platform to amplify youth voices, spark important conversations, and inspire action in a world where young perspectives are often overlooked. Outside of TEDx, you’ll find me with my camera, competing in science and maths competitions, or catching up on too many things at once with a cup of tea in hand. For me, TEDxYouth@Paparangi is more than an event, it’s a space created for youth, by youth, to empower those who will shape a better everyday.
