This week saw the first ever TEDx event for Francis Holland Schools since we gained a licence last year. TEDx are community based talks designed in the same spirit as TED talks – to share an idea.
Fourteen of our Upper Sixth Form girls took to the stage and gave extraordinarily erudite, stylish and sophisticated talks. Talks included the deficiencies of the Land Rover, the power of introversion, the growth of new businesses due to Covid and stepping outside one’s comfort zone. Below are the links to watch the talks.
