Conny Runner. As author of the Critical Campaigning Manifesto, Peng co-founder and political scientist, he explores new tactics and strategies of political influence through art, hacking and activism. As a "master of civil disobedience", the Berlin activist collective Peng! draws attention to social grievances with satirical actions and advertising campaigns. Together with Peng, Runner has already posed as press spokesman for Google and Vattenfall in spectacular actions without being asked, started a weapon recall in the USA on behalf of Heckler and Koch, and organized a drop-out club for secret service employees. His works have been shown at the Berlin Biennale and the Athens Biennale, among others, and in 2018 he was awarded the Aachen Peace Prize together with Peng. 
Data scientist Elma Hot Dervic loves both, science and bees. In 2016 she founded BeeAnd.me, a monitoring system for bees, and supports beekeepers with state-of-the-art technology to master the traditional challenge of beekeeping. The intelligent monitoring system measures the amount of collected honey, the health of the bees through sound, local humidity and temperature. The data analysis informs beekeepers when something happens to their bees. Elma Hot is enthusiastic about the numerous possibilities of data mining and would like to draw attention to the life-threatening situation of bees and prevent their extinction. BeeAnd.me has been awarded as an innovative project with impact by the World Summit Award. ​
James Yarker is co-founder and artistic director of the British theatre company Stan's Cafe (Birmingham). Their radical productions regularly tour Europe and beyond, helping audiences see the world around them from a new perspective. Last year Yarker showed his installation "What When / Was Wenn" at the World Climate Conference (COP23) in Bonn. This installation impressed as a "silent demonstration" and showed protest signs of the last hundred years. James regularly works with schools on creative learning projects, is asked to teach at universities and premiered in England on 27 October with Stan's Cafe's new big show, "The Capital". He will travel to Bonn by train from Birmingham, but otherwise does not feel that he is doing a great job "Saving the World".

UN Volunteers
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxYouth@BIS, where  x = independently organized TED event. At our  event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
