Why? This TEDx event gives parents, teachers, students and the larger community a glimpse into our collective future and a space to engage in open, exploratory dialogue, to understand the world our children will live in and to explore creative ways to adapt to it.
What? This Saturday we will be showing two videos of talks from the renowned TED conferences followed by a casual discussion. TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 25 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. The annual TED Conference invites the world’s leading thinkers and doers to give the talk of their lifetimes in 18 minutes. 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. www.TED.com
