TEDxAlleyns School Youth 2025

TEDxAlleyns School Youth 2025 explores the powerful theme of Connection. 

We are delighted to share that Dr Nikita Kanani MBE and Naia Kanani-Ferdinand’s TEDx Alleyn's School Youth talk has been selected as an Editor’s Pick and is featured on the TEDx Editor's Pick playlist.

Editor’s Pick talks are specially highlighted by TEDx to help amplify their reach and visibility across global audiences, making this a wonderful recognition for both Nikita and Naia.

Released to coincide with Mother’s Day (US), the talk reflects on family, connection and shared experience, and we are incredibly proud to see one of our pupils contributing to such an important conversation alongside her mother, Nikita.

We invite you all to watch the talk below.

Watch our talks from 2025 and experience the thought-provoking insights from our TEDx Alleyn’s School Youth stage. 

What does it mean to be truly connected? How do we form meaningful connections, and why are they important to us as human beings? What are the connections that already underpin our school community and how do we ensure that they continue to grow? 

In the modern world, you might argue that we are more connected than ever – through the internet, and of course through social media, it is possible to reach more people than ever before. Yet, this unprecedented connectivity brings both opportunities and challenges. How do we navigate this evolving landscape and make the most of it?
