On Saturday, October 18, 2025, ISM proudly hosted its fourth TEDxYouth@ISM event, bringing together students, parents, and teachers to explore this year’s thought-provoking theme: “The Power of Perspective.”

As the only TEDxYouth event in Monaco, the conference celebrated the power of understanding, empathy, and curiosity in shaping the world around us. Ten talented student speakers, alongside one parent and one teacher contributor, took to the stage to share personal stories, bold insights, and inspiring ideas that challenged us to see the world through new lenses.

Adding to the atmosphere were captivating performances by the Year 5 ISM Voices choir and a Year 11 student trio, as well as an interactive multimedia quiz that invited audience reflection and engagement.

A heartfelt thank you goes to our dedicated student, staff, and parent volunteers, our student MCs and organising committee, and of course our generous sponsors, the ISM Parent Teacher Association (PTA), Enhance Me, Moravia Yachting, and Sanlorenzo Monaco, for helping make this inspiring event possible. We would like to especially thank communication coach Alicia Sedgwick as well as our Director of Studies, Hannah Gettel, who supported our young speakers in crafting their impactful talks and organising the event.

The TEDxYouth@ISM initiative continues to reflect ISM’s commitment to empowering young voices and nurturing confident, thoughtful communicators who are ready to address real-world challenges with empathy and curiosity. Thank you to everyone who made this event possible!
