Not In Our School highlights students and teachers who are taking action for safe, accepting, and inclusive schools.  For over a decade, Not In Our School stories and videos have inspired young people to launch their own campaigns against bullying and intolerance.  At the heart of the Not In Our Town movement is the belief in the capacity of young people to turn their school- and their community- into a more accepting place where everyone can thrive and learn.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
