What If Skateboards Could Give Hope?: Betty Esperanza at TEDxYouth@Montreal

Can an act of kindness of a recylced skateboard translate into hope and stop the cycle of poverty? That is the quest Betty Esperanza is trying to achieve by building sustainable skateboard communities in impoverished territories in Cuba and First Nations.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
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)
