TEDActive, the action-oriented arm of the renowned conference-turned-movement, wants to catalyze a student-led education reform revolution.
The education reform space is clearly dominated by adults—parents, teachers, administrators, policy makers and politicians—so the hope is that the project can help bring student voices to the table and catalyze a true education revolution. TED is asking conference-goers, as well as trend and innovation company PSFK's expert network—the Purple List—to "explore, collaborate and act" on the issues and ideas raised with the goal of "delivering a set of micro-actions that anyone can do to move a project."
Both TED2011 and TEDActive kick off today in California. If you want to follow the exchange of education related ideas, follow the Twitter hashtag #TEDActiveEDU for real time updates.
