Szilvia Gyurkó is the Director of Children's Rights of the Hungarian Committee of UNICEF. He obtained his law degree at the Faculty of Law of ELTE, where he still teaches children's rights and legal skills development at the Practical Training Center he founded. His area of research is children's rights, violence against children and the possibilities of making the justice system child-centered. His goal is to ensure that children's issues are properly presented in the media and to change public opinion about children - but he would be very happy if fewer people beat their children. --- 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)
