Patching the cracks with poetry: Peter LaBerge at TEDxGreensFarmsAcademy

Peter LaBerge is the Editor-in-Chief of The Adroit Journal, a charitable print literary publication he founded at the beginning of his sophomore year. He has received more than 4,500 submissions for consideration, produced six full issues, and initiated an editorial staff of over fifty high school and college students from around the world. A two-time Scholastic Writing Awards Gold Medalist, Peter has recently been nominated for the 2013 United States Presidential Scholar in the Arts designation. He graduated from Greens Farms Academy in June 2013. 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)
