The Topical Talk Festival provides school children with the chance to connect with peers across the world, engage with leading professionals and topic experts and gain recognition for their school on a global stage.
Festivals are global discussions that bring students and expert voices together to tackle the biggest issues of our time – from racism and equity to sustainability and the climate crisis. Each one is packed with thought-provoking classroom activities, online events and awards that celebrate young people’s ideas and curiosity.
Topical Talk Festival takes place between January 19th and March 13th 2026.
