Presenter Bio:

Javier was born and raised in Valencia, Spain. After twenty years of teaching in his home country, now he teaches MYP/DP Spanish at Nanjing International School. His passion to be inspired by people and new ideas led him to organize his first TEDxYouth event in Beijing two years ago. He also embraced the many ins and outs that such an event has as a team member in the TEDxYouth@NIS 2019 edition. Javier loves adventure. He considers himself a traveler, not a tourist. Javier enjoys any kind of artistic expression, hiking, swimming, reading graphic novels. His Spanish paellas are phenomenal!
