At the American Overseas School of Rome (AOSR), innovation, inspiration, and a commitment to fostering a global exchange of ideas lie at the core of our mission. As a TEDx school, we take immense pride in hosting an annual TEDx event that highlights the creativity, expertise, and passion of our vibrant community. With four consecutive events to our name, our TEDx journey showcases the enduring power of "ideas worth spreading."

A Tradition of Excellence

Since our inaugural TEDx event, the AOSR stage has become a dynamic platform for sharing groundbreaking ideas and diverse perspectives. Each year, this initiative grows in scope and influence, attracting a larger audience, sparking deeper conversations, and cementing our reputation as a hub for thought leadership.

In 2024, we achieved an exciting milestone. With 14 dynamic speakers and an audience of over 75 engaged participants, the event exceeded all expectations. This remarkable growth reflects the tireless efforts of our organizers, the talent of our speakers, and the enthusiasm of our broader community.

The Power of TEDx at AOSR

Our TEDx events bring together a rich blend of students, faculty, alumni, and external experts to explore ideas that matter. From the stage, each speaker shares a unique perspective, sparking curiosity and inspiring dialogue across a wide array of topics—technology, social justice, the arts, personal growth, and more.

Every talk challenges assumptions, fuels meaningful conversations, and ignites fresh ideas among our audience.

  • Community Engagement: TEDx at AOSR fosters unity, sparking creative exchanges that bring our entire community together.
  • Global Impact: Through TEDx, AOSR connects to a global network of changemakers, amplifying our voice on the world stage.
