An intro to TEDx

  • 0:02 - 0:07
    From Kenya to Columbia,
    from Iraq to Korea,
  • 0:07 - 0:11
    in slums, in schools,
    in prisons and in theatres,
  • 0:11 - 0:14
    every day, people gather
    at TEDx events around the world
  • 0:14 - 0:19
    to hear the best ideas bubbling up
    in their communities.
  • 0:19 - 0:25
    Today, you are part of a global conversation
    about our shared future.
  • 0:26 - 0:29
    So what is this TEDx?
  • 0:29 - 0:32
    TEDx is an initiative
    of the TED conference,
  • 0:32 - 0:35
    a nonprofit devoted
    to ideas worth spreading.
  • 0:35 - 0:40
    We grant free licences to allow
    TED-like events to spread globally.
  • 0:40 - 0:45
    This event today is based on
    the TED conference format and ideals
  • 0:45 - 0:49
    but is independently organised
    by your local community.
  • 0:49 - 0:51
    So please make sure to thank
    the team of volunteers
  • 0:51 - 0:54
    who worked so hard on today's event.
  • 0:54 - 1:00
    It's their ideas, dedication and time
    that made it all possible.
  • 1:00 - 1:03
    It's they who booked all the speakers
    and the views you will hear today
  • 1:03 - 1:09
    are of course those of those speakers,
    not necessarily of TED.
  • 1:09 - 1:13
    We hope their talks spark
    an exciting conversation among you.
  • 1:13 - 1:16
    This is a day for curiosity
    and for scepticism,
  • 1:16 - 1:23
    for openness and for critical thinking,
    for inspiration and for action.
  • 1:23 - 1:27
    The more you enter into it,
    the more you will take out.
  • 1:28 - 1:31
    And now, on with the show!
