The Power of Silence! | Ms. Kavya Rawal | TEDxYouth@JGIS
What if silence wasn’t a void — but a voice?In this deeply moving and introspective TEDx talk, RJ Kavya Rawal, a well-known radio jockey, explores the profound impact of silence in a world that never stops talking. As someone whose life revolves around sound and conversation, she shares how her greatest lessons didn’t come from what she said — but from what she didn’t.Through real on-air experiences and honest reflection, RJ Kavya reveals how silence can heal, connect, and humanize us. She reminds us that in the rush to say more, do more, and post more, we often forget the beauty of simply pausing — of truly listening.
“Because silence isn’t the absence of sound… it’s the presence of meaning.” Kavya Rawal is an accomplished radio professional, voice artist, and content creator based in Ahmedabad. With a background in Psychology and Mass Communication & Journalism, she combines academic insight with a natural flair for storytelling.

- 6:36Are you really okay? | Rose Baniya | TEDxTarneit YouthEvery child is human, and that means every child has emotions. Sometimes, kids are going through silent battles, feeling hurt, scared, or sad; but no one can see it. In this talk, I want to ask a simple question: Are you really okay? As children, we have the power to speak up, not just for ourselves, but for others too. We can help save children from these endless bits of devastation by being kind, listening, and standing up for what’s right. Together, we can make the world a safer and more caring place for every child. Rose is a student at Barayip Primary School.
