The event, centred around the theme of ‘Infinite Learning - Limitless Skills’, will be held at the Forum Geesseknäppchen from 5.30 pm on Thursday 21 March. It will seek to explore how modern societies may foster and embrace continuous learning, and how they can best stay tuned with and guide younger generations.
Three speakers (Dakota Rangé, Rachel Conroy and Bruno Mackenzie) were selected through a National Idea Competition which saw applications from almost 50 young people aged 12-18.
The names of the three competition winners were exclusively revealed on The Melissa Dalton Show on Today Radio on Thursday.
In addition, entrepreneurs Esther Celosse and Monique Rodrigues will give talks on the importance of career breaks and education, while scout leader Charles Metz will deliver a talk on the benefits of scouting.
The event will also feature two performances from students at the Conservatoire Luxembourg.
Tickets are still available at theTEDxLuxembourgCity website.
