Activities

I collaborated with five high school students from three international schools to provide a platform for students in DaeJeongEup to share their ideas and enhance their English speaking skills. As one of the leaders in this group, I constructed the meeting agenda for every Thursday meeting. I was also in charge of the logistics for the event, communicating with school officials to ensure a venue, prominent speakers from various schools, and student opportunities for this event.

As the head of the marketing department, I not only ensured the TEDx license but I also constantly communicated with TED to inform them of the purpose of our events. I managed the Instagram account and created advertising materials such as post images and posters. I also managed our event page on the TEDx website and edited the speaker videos for publication.

In addition, my role encompassed communicating with stage technicians – to ensure proper lighting and camera set-up – and creating the TEDx DaeJeongEup logo, which was placed on the stage and the red carpet.

By taking on the role of a leader during a multiple-school collaboration, I realized the importance of leadership. Despite initial bumps in the road – such as failing to garner a significant audience to achieve a successful event – I constantly strived towards improvement by communicating with my members and trying different marketing strategies. Through these experiences and lessons from failure, I proudly achieved a large audience for my final TEDx event, ending this project with a bang.
